So apparently I am not very good at keeping our blog updated LOL. I guess our lives have been pretty boring that I havent fealt the need to update.  Lets see what I can come up with, Kenzie will be graduating in a few short weeks, hard to believe our baby girl is growing up and is almost 19, surely I am not old enough to have a child of that age?? She has been accepted to Purdue and will be attending there in the fall majoring in Genetics, she really likes research and would love to work in a lab somewhere, hopefully helping match people for transplants or discovering some cure for some genetic mutation.  Dalton has started his motocross year off with a bang, well not really LOL he is on a new KTM 2-stroke this year and it is taking him some getting used to as well as some dumb bad luck, he so far has taken a large rock to the nose and crashed pretty nasty last weekend with some bruised or broken ribs, so was unable to race the rest of the weekend. But he will get used to it, it is just going to take time. Also big news for Dalton he is now the proud owner of his own truck, he is soo happy.  Hunter, Avery and Dalton all 3 have jobs now they work every Tuesday and Thursday for 2 horse farms, one is a breeding farm for halter horses and the other is a ranch for Western pleasure horses, they clean stalls and feed horses as well as work with the foals and sometimes the girls get to exercise the horses, they absolutely love it and the girls have been using their income to support our horses hay habits and Dalton has been using his for gas money as well as parts for his truck and bike, which has helped mom and dad out a bunch as the horses eat $120 a week in just hay.  Yes they are worth it, but it does get a little overwelming at times.  Our Mare Glory still has not delivered her foal she is now over 2 weeks overdue, she is driving us all nuts, we keep thinking that tonight will be the night, she is tired of being locked in a stall as well but we do not want to take a chance of her delivering where the other horses may bother her while delivering.  The kids will be finishing out their school year at the end of May, it will be nice not to have to worry about that for a while, however I am looking for a new curriculum for next year, Abeka is a excellent program however it is very expensive and very time consuming for the kids, Hunter sometimes takes 8 hours just to finish one days work and that is not my goal in homeschooling them.  Of course I want them to learn but I also want them to have a life. Bill and I have just been working a way, no big news there, Aiden has started raising chickens, he has 8, he and Daltons girlfriend are going to have a competition to see whose hens lay the  most eggs LOL. Aiden has this all figured out how to sell them and what they need to eat and how much light they need etc. he is becoming quite the little farmer boy, and also let me tell you this kid has grown, OMG we just had to buy him all new jeans at Christmas size 10s he has already outgrown them. its only been 4.5 months WOW.  Well hope that tides you all over for a while. LOL
