Cousins

Friday we headed back to Canby to clean some chickens. The boyz have never grown too old to ride the 4020 JD and a ride around the yard with their cousins on the bikes. But it was just a quick trip to the farm we needed to get back and pack for wrestling camp!

Protect the Cherries!

The birds have been just thick in the cherry trees so we needed to break out the mesh netting to protect our cherries. As you can see we are going to have a lot of cherries but I don't know if we will have enough for Jam unless the kids leave them alone too!

Finally back at the ball park

Finally, the sun came out and we are back playing baseball. Dalton had a good night at the ball park against Wacceca. Had a ground rule double and he caught for 4 innings and he pitched for 2. ( yes, he beaned a kid too) But he was crowding the plate. Tabor was the ump so no brotherly love.

Twins game here we come

Today we travel with are Cargill family to the MN Twins game! Unfortunately the boyz have a wrestling fundraiser in Springfield today for Coach Amsden. But not to worry they boyz will get to go to a game in July!

Back to RAIDER FOOTBALL

Sunday nights are devoted to Raider Football! Every Sunday night in the month of June the Raiders travel to Mankato State University to play in a passing league. They meet at school at 4:00 to go over plays and then they play 3-20min games until 8 pm. It is two hand touch but a lot of fun to watch. Tanner did have a touchdown catch. Tabor worked at school today for community ed and Tanner had his first day of driver's training. And Dalton was at home in charge of the chickens and lawn mowing. He got 12 eggs the first day and only 9 eggs today.

Schools out for SUMMER!

Yeah! Only 7 hours left of school and we are out for the summer. We are happy to report all of the Elliott Boyz made the honor roll for the final quarter! As you can tell one of the boyz failed to get some sleep last night and was less then impressed to have a photo taken at 7:30 in the morning! So coming back in the fall we will have a Senior-Sophomore and a 8Th grader.

Happy Birthday Tanner!

What does every Elliott boy get when he turns 15? Yes, a phone! It's hard to believe that the middle child is 15 and starting drivers training next Monday. Happy Birthday Sooner!
