I know that it has been a really really long time since anything has been posted on the blog, we have had some trouble getting the site to work and Mindy and I have been soooooo busy that we can never find time or pictures to post.  Here are just a few, I hope you enjoy.  :)

DAA went to Sioux falls this weekend for the Sioux falls church regional, it was a long bus ride down and back.  We got into Sioux falls at about 7:00pm Friday night and there were church members at the church to pick up students and take them to there homes for the night.  This morning we had church and the DAA choir, bell choir, and band had a music program for the church service.  We had such a good time and everyone was so nice and helpful, we really had a good time.  we just got back to school at about 9:30pm

These are a few pictures from on the bus!

Brooki, Mindy, and I have been taking off after school and going into Bismarck to visit Grandpa as often as we can the last few weeks and he is starting to get a lot better.  hopefully he can go home the beginning of this next week. 

Psalm 5:11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

Pie and Ice Cream Social

Yesterday was a very fun, but long day!  The Mr. and Mrs. Haveman are faculty from DAA and when there are home leaves they have 4 extra kids stay at their house because it is too far for them to go home.  So with 7 kids and 2 adults we had a blast doing all kinds of farm stuff.  After church and dinner all 11 kids went over to the bunk house and we played and sang music for about and hour before heading out to the cows.  It was something totally new for most all of them to be able to feed the cows corn cobs out of their hands.  When we were done feeding cows we went out to the hay bales to play.  Then about 6:30 people started showing up for our church pie and ice cream social in the shed.  It was really fun to get together and sing, have a sundown worship, eat, visit, and make homemade ice cream.  There were quite a few kids and so we enjoyed playing basketball and some big group games.  The whole day was lots of fun!

Hebrews 10:24-25 

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Spring break

 Well Jody and I got back from DAA for spring break on Friday!   We have really been enjoying our time at home, and with our family again.  We have only been home for about 18 hours since January 7th.  It feels really good to be home again!  On Friday Mr.Timms our Bible teacher and Chaplin, and Miss Courtney our assistant girls dean came home with us for the weekend.  And we got to quick snowmobile a little before sundown.  We had a great time!  These are a few pictures we took.
