Lauren's homework tonight included needing to create her own game board. Thanks goodness for the good ole internet. I googled create your own game board and found this amazing site with power point templates! It was so wonderful I wanted to share the information for anyone else that might have this same "homework"!

Once her team comes up with the game, I will do my best to upload so everyone can enjoy!
This weekend the kids entered the 4-H Foodshow. They did a wonderful job!
Laynie Pre 4-H member made Dirt Pudding with sugar free pudding mixes and sugar free oreos!

Happy 5th Birthday Bailey!
We have been blessed to have a new family near and dear!
We Love you Bailey! and can't wait to meet Kayden!
The smile that only a child could capture! Keith - a wonderful husband, father and my best friend!
This picture was taken during our last safety meeting at the feedlot. The girls were in charge of the camera and I am so glad they took this one.
I thought it would be neat to test the bags in different homes in different states, too!
Tiff in California has already agreed- her kit is in the mail!!!
Thank you for agreeing to help me with my science fair project. This year I am testing the Debbie Meyer Green bags. They claim to keep fruits and vegetables fresher longer. I have included 2 green bags and 2 storage bags along with a data sheet to record your observations. We will have a control group that will be placed on the counter without a bag, a green bag group, and a clear storage bag group. Label and place fruit in each group. Initially observe the fruit for brown spots, firmness and mold. Record the data under Day 0. On day 2 reexamine the fruit in each group and record the data. Repeat for days 4, 6, 8 and 10. Once you have collected the data please email the information back to me at tbowman@inbox.com. If you are able to take pictures I would enjoy seeing your results! If you have any questions please contact me.
I have chosen bananas and cantaloupe for my experiment! I’ll keep you posted with my results too!
Thanks,
Lauren Bowman
Reviewing my old cards to remember the years! Working on the new ones! T thinks he's too big for a picture card to handout this year.
This is my first attempt at editing and sharing a video. I hope you enjoy!
The calf's name is Betty! Sticking with the "b" names.
Enjoy!!!!
This year I really tried not to overwhelm everyone with gifts! Here are a couple of the things the kids received and how we like them!
Digiblue Microscope QX5 is a great addition. This Microscope can capture and record images and video on most PC computers. Experiment with the microscope and the PC, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. Its hours of learning and fun! The kids use it at school (Laynie can get it working!) and love it! Cost around $90.00.
The Wii I have been putting off purchasing another game but this has proven to be great. Everyone (young and old) are enjoying! Keith and Thomas have spent hours on Mario Kart, the girls like baseball, bowling and Disney's Sing It. Our cousins have Dance Revolution and this had a great aunt who often complains of pain dancing! It is a must have!!!
Thomas wanted Star Wars the Force Unleashed for his PSP. He plays it on our commute to/from school. He hasn't asked for a new game, so I think he gives it a thumbs up! Thomas also received Oregon Scientific Helmet Cam that we haven't tried as of today! The camera is water proof up to 9ft so we are waiting for a warm day to try it in the pool! Will send reviews and pics when we try it.
Laynie received her personal DS (she always ends up with hand me down electronics) and the game Imagine Teacher. I think she prefers her sister's game "Cooking Mama" to the new game.
Laynie also received the Disney MixStick (MP3 player) that I have loaded with songs and seems very durable! Important for a 6 year old. I didn't purchase a wall charger so I have to plug it into my pc (usb charger) to charge. It has a SD expansion slot. I really like it especially for the price. The older kids have Sony Walkman's that work well.
Lauren received Disney Flix Digital Video Camera of her own. She has enjoyed documenting our lives. We have not uploaded the videos for her to edit, but this is on our list of things to do. Look forward to her movie premier in 2009!
I hope some of the information will help the next time your looking for a gift. I try to read as many reviews as possible before purchasing, but sometimes knowing that a friend has enjoyed the product speaks much louder!
Does anyone have Rock Band or Guitar Hero? What's the difference? Which one is better?????
So a friend Alexandra tagged me by inviting me to share a picture.
Here are the instructions she gave me!
1. Go to your photo folders and open the 4th folder.
2. Choose the 4th photo.
3. Explain the photo.
4. Tag 4 other people!
This picture was taken 2-26-07 of a Mexican steer with a deformed mouth. Keith watched this steer daily and on this day took the family out to take a picture of him. He sees interesting creatures! We sent this picture to a friend of ours working for a feed company to use to advertise their "feed limiting program". Without the lower lip he has a hard time keeping feed in his mouth. The steer grew and surved his purpose in life!!!
Oops! I forgot to tag someone - Tiff, Jessica, & Becky
