Pray for sun

The gloomy sky is preventing dad from being able to get the dew off the grain so it can be cut, once the sun comes out, the heat should dry the grain right out and he'll be able to cut grain. Sky came home this weekend to drive equipment. You can take the boy away from the farm, but you can't take the farm out of the boy. Ben is in Boise this weekend. He has a race today. He is currently working on registering for the ACT, but he forgot his username and password, and his e-mail account is inactive. We all hope he'll be able to get the information in time to sign up for the ACTs. Jake and Zac had fun birthdays. Jake's was monday, and he got to pick out his own gift after the race last friday. He chose a BB gun. Zac got to pick a new bike. The farm owed him one, so he picked out his new bike, and then for his birthday he decided he wanted a hamster. He should get it this weekend.
The story about Zac's bike, he left his bike parked leaning against the gate post of the field he moved pipe. No one ever used the gate, and that got it off the road. Well that day they decided they needed to come and get a cow, so they drove the trailer to the field and when they drove it through the gate, his bike tipped over and the bike got run over. So the farm owed him a new bike.
Oh, pray for sun at least on the south end of the valley so dad can get his crops in.

Update!

Dad is well into harvesting hay and is a little short handed, as Ben is only able to operate the baler because everything else is controlled with the right hand. : ( School has of course been in full swing for several weeks and cros country has had several races. Ben is doing pretty well though he is getting side stitches on the right side, and he can't squeeze his right thumb to distract himself. Jake doesn't like school. No surprise. But Zac at least liked his teacher when he had her before so he could have an enjoyable year, though Jake's gloomy attitude seems to be rubbing of on him a little bit. Mom is still working at the hospital and is taking vacation every time she can manage to squeeze it into her schedule.
Of course lets not forget to mention that Ben had a race yesterday, and he finished pretty well, though he did have a side stitch and he rolled his ankle in the first mile. The cross country teams are pretty big this year. Ben said the girls and boys both have a full varsity and JV team.
Mem is back in school. She started back the first of this week. This semester could be a little more daunting than the semester before.
Zac's birthday is today, and Jake's is Monday. Yay one year older and wiser too. Happy Birthday to you!!!!

Happy birthday!

I just wanted to post a happy birthday wish:
Happy Birthday to Zac, today!
and Happy Birthday to Jake on Monday!

I hope you guys have wonderful birthdays! (Even though you won't read this, some of the rest of our family will!) Love you both!
