The kids started school August 17th. McKaden is in 6th grade which is in junior high. He is on the football team and has his first game September 15th. He had to choose football or track. He has his own laptop that stays at school this year and next year he will be able to bring it home. Things are going good so far and we love the princple. McKennen is in the 4th grade. I wanted to start him in 3rd because of reading, but dad said no. So he was getting situated in class and we pulled him out to goto 4th grade the other kids did not think it was fair he got to go up a grade. He is doing good and love it there. They get bused 20 miles there is a school closer, but I had heard some things and so this school is better for them. South Dakota has an open enrolment to any school. They only go 4 days a week with Friday left to kids who need extra help. McKennen has to take Spanish and they have done away with cursive handwrighting. He also has his own IPOD. I better learn all this TECHY stuff or I am going to be lost
Temptations has its 1st event on the 12th of September. 50,000 people are expected to show up. I plane to sell bisquits gravy, Hamburgers, Nachos, chili, chili dogs, hot dogs, bratts, ice cream, and a few other items. We are already locked in for next year if we want to be. We are starting late in the year, but I have my calendar filling up for next year. Also there is a 5 year contract to build an elcetric company that we are looking into to sale food at. The Trailer we are using is a temporary one and when we are established we will be buying one that is fully equiped with oven and stove. Jeremy is done doing tile, his elbows are getting bad and needs to find a different trade so here we go. We are excited to see what God is going to do with this business.

NEVER BUY A CHAIN SAW FOR YOUR HUSBAND
Today My dear husband took the last tree down. Out of all of them this one was the scariest. Next to a propane tank and the biggest. As he cut he had our employee hold tension with the Tahoe. The tree started to sway towards the house and if Mike had not gunned the Tahoe it would of takin my house out. It did still hit the house but no damage THANK MY GOD FOR THIS BLESSING.
NO MORE TREES TO TAKE DOWN. What an amazing fearless husband I have he gets all his creativity from my lovely father in law who still does crazy stuff to this day. I belive it is their iner child being released.
The biggest blessing in all of this is that no one got hurt!!!

We have been very busy.
Here is 4 slide shows to show you what we have been up to. The last two months we have been on the go. Moving to South Dakota has opened so many doors of opportunity for us. In any direction we can be doing something with in an hour of our house. We have been to the zoo twice, Laurel Ingalls Homestead (took the whole day), Camping, many days in Sioux Falls, and never home on weekends because there is a free event some where. Sioux Falls always has something going on. We went to the fair last weekend. The weekend before that the zoo and the free museums. With the boys in school now, I have time to catch up on somethings I need to get done. They will only go 4 days a week. The school is advanced. McKennen got his on IPOD and McKaden got his own laptop. A little shocked that they will not be teaching McKennen cursive, but they did away with that last year as technology is taking over.
They are excited and we are excited the principle has a real understanding of children. We hope and pray this year is a good year for both boys, but especialy for McKaden. Love the Birrs
