Week 13

OK, I have five weeks of catching up to do.  I may as well get started...

We have a gopher problem.  Our yard has been completely destroyed by those small creatures.  Andy has tried a million different things to get rid of them.  Nothing has ever worked.  Until now.  A girl in our class at Church told Andy about an $8 trap from Atwoods.  He bought one and set the trap.  Less than 24 hours later here was Andy...

 That is probably the greatest moment for Andy for the entire year.  He was so excited!  We have not had any trouble from the gophers since he got that one.  It is hard to imagine that it was only one gopher doing all of that damage!  Andy would love to find another mound so he could kill another gopher.

I am not sure I could do a blog post without there being something dance related.  Kayla went to another competition on April 1st in Claremore.  I had to pull her out of school early so we could get there to get her ready.  I think Kayla danced around 6 and we had to wait until 10 pm for the awards.  Andy met us there after work so he could see her dance.  Here he is waiting for the awards.  It was a long day for everyone!

Kayla did really well.  She got an Elite trophy, which is the highest level.  She had the high score for her age group in the jazz category, and then she placed first in her age group overall (out of all of the categories for her age group in the intermediate level).  All of that means she did a good job.
