Bethany and Elsie singing Bop to the Top. This is very hard to watch, due to not being able to see their facial expressions. I am only putting it up because it was requested. (It will probably be down very soon)

Bethany on Beam/Floor Level 5
Bethany won 1st All-Around at the Fond du Lac meet with a combined score of 32.75. She won 2nd place for her beam routine. She was already working hard tonight to fix her errors from this meet. She was pretty excited to finally get a trophy!

Joe, Andy and Gretyl
Joe finally got to play in a real baseball game, something he has wanted to do for quite some time. He is on the Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah Pee Wee league. He got his first hit on Friday and was able to score from first when his teammate got a hit. He has pretty good wheels. I am helping out as an assistant coach, so I get to have quite a bit of fun too! Andy was manning the camera and managed to get a few shots.
Andy is having a lot of fun with the camera and Photoshop, as can be seen by this photo. It reminded me of Robert Smith, lead singer for The Cure. Thankfully without the lipstick!
Gretyl continues her super dog growth. 
Joe and I got to see the Brewers beat the Florida Marlins last week. We were sitting in the first row above the Marlins bullpen. Joe was tossed two "real major league baseballs, something I always wanted". When he got the second one he immediately said, "I am giving this one to Pip".

The School Year is Almost Over
We are in the middle of wrapping up all of the productions. Bethany on down performed in the annual home school program. Stacey, Bethany, Joe and Elsie performed in their last Lakeshore Youth Chorale concert of the year. Andy and Stacey both had parts in the musical "The Mikado". Just one more concert to go, the Sheboygan Area Youth Symphony, then it is on to summer stuff!

Gretyl
We finally got a puppy about a month and a half ago. She is a Bouvier Des Flandres, which means "cow or cattle dog of Flanders". This breed was originally bred for herding, so she nips at your legs more than most puppies do. She has a little white spot right underneath her chin, and a cowlick right on top of her head. We thought she was big when we first got her.
But she's grown quite a bit.

Wow, A New Post!
A lot has changed since our last post. The kids are just as silly as ever, as you can tell from Bethany on the video. Pip is so into numbers that he just watches the timer and lets Bethany know how long it has been. The only problem is that he thinks 60 seconds is an hour!

Tempel Farms
Today my family went to a horse show at Tempel Farms in Illinois. My Aunt and Uncle are the head trainers there. They only have Lipizzan horses, and they have the most Lipizzans of any farm in the U.S.
They showed all of their newcomers.
They were kind of curious.
Then they had "All Steps and Movements of the Classical School"
My Uncle then rode a horse and did all of these different steps. One of the steps looked like the horse was skipping!
And they jumped them.....
And finally, they did the School Quadrille.
Lipizzans are born dark, and as they get older, they get lighter, by three they are usually white. Sometimes, there is one that never lightens, but it's rare, this farm has two of them. They are known as good luck charms.

Bye Bye Brett Favre, Hello Aaron Rodgers!
Caution: Watching this video will get you excited for the upcoming Packer season!
I am very excited about the upcoming season. If Aaron Rodgers performs anything like he has the few times Brett has been injured, we are in for a terrific season. In this video, Rodgers came into the game after Brett was injured. Favre left the game after completing just 5 of 14 passes, 2 inceptions, and a quarterback rating of 8.9. Rodgers ended up completing 18 of 26, including a streak of 13 in a row, rushing five times for 30 yards, with a quarterback rating of 104.8.
I am sure that even if Aaron Rodgers has a season that is close to, or better than Favre's average season, fans will be upset. Looking at Favre's record since being the starter for the entire season, he averaged 18.2 interceptions per season. If Rodgers even comes close to one interception per game people will think he is not playing as well as Favre. I noticed that the first pre-season game will now be televised on ESPN, Monday night a 7:00CST
