Just for the record, I do not like snakes, of any kind.  However, I know that JR is very careful and loves to hunt them.  Joseph got in on the action the other day and shot a couple of them.  It is the time of year where they start migrating back to their dens, so they are easier to find in multiples.


The days have been so beautiful here!  Sleeping with open windows makes for some cool mornings, but oh so nice.
Travelled two hours away to a froshmore football game yesterday.  Jacob played the last 1.5 quarters.  Their team got blown out of the water, but Jacob did pretty well.  They had him on the defensive line!!!  He is not really build as a lineman, but he has proven himself to get in there and get the job done, plus he is faster than a lot of the bigger guys.  Coach told him he just needs to be prepared to play just about any position.  Guess it is nice he is versatile, but then he never can really hone his skill if he is all over the field.
I am in the process of turning my blog into a Word document and then will print it out at some point.  Wow, what a project.  First you copy and paste everything, then reformat font/size/pictures, then wrap text around pictures.  Have been poking around on how to print/bind it.  I want 4 copies, so its a huge undertaking.  I have 979 posts...maybe I can finish out the year with 1000 even!!!  Sure wish I had thought to do this when Ben was young, but started in when Jacob was about 1.  As I was going through the old posts, I came across one of Benjamin wearing a hilarious tie, that did not match his shirt.  I took a screen shot and sent it to him.  In the past when I have sent him pictures he has responded with "Mom".  This time, though, when he got home, he asked me to send him some more pictures of him.  Wow, he has taken an interest in this project.  I actually think it will be amazing because I have documented all our trips, sports, day to day life, etc.  Maybe I can have 2008-2015 done and formatted by the end of the year!  Would be nice to print volume 1 before I start working on volume 2 in case I want to do something different.  I anticipate it being 400 pages total????
