Hey I had a blast at threshing bee.  I got to drive tractor both days but the first day my tractor died on me during the parade so that made me feel embarassed.  Really bad.  Then I met Kaleb, he was a Hot guy that was camping next to us.  Kaleb is from Hanska i don't know from Hanska Lake or Hanska the town.  Then the second day came a long.  I got to drive tractor again but before that I had to work in the train station it was fun.  I worked with my cousin Elizabeth (Libby) and Sysamone (Sy).  They had to leave right after we got done working so they didn't get to be in the parade again.  Well the last time for the parade I drove my grandpa's tractor.  At least it didn't die on me. Well then the night came and it was dieing down because it was the last day.  I was riding bike and then i lost my cell phone I had to follow my tracks to find where it was.  Luckly I found it. Well then it was morning.  We had to go do pigs again for the last time until we had to load thats not for a LONG time. Well thats all about Threshing bee. School starts and I'm so excited I can't wait.  I start school on the 5th and Tyler starts school the the 6th.  Wyatt goes to st. james so he starts on the 7th.  Shane isn't going to school this summer so he doesn't have to worry about school.  My mom is starting school again Thursday,  last year!!!  My dad well he does the usual farm.  I think Shane is thinking about taking over the farming.   Well that's all really. 

Talk to you Later.

We had a nasty storm yesterday.   There were tornadoes all over the place.   There was one that touched down about 2-3 miles south west of Butterfield.  It hit Dan Halls place and ruined everything.   Dan Hall and his wife where at Farm Fest, but the three boys where home and they got home and put a pizza in the oven, then they seen electirical post snap, then the windows started shaking.  They went down the basement, in like 5 to 10 seconds they where watching the house being vanished right in front of there eyes.  Scary huh?  They lost everything so they just have to start from scratch.  

There was this other touch down and ruined this other place over by St. James.  Fritz Connell was the owner.  He was home with his Family and down in the basement when the tornado hit.  It didn't ruin everything but it ruined a lot of stuff. 

Well we got like 5 inches of rain here good for the crops but bad for the people that their houeses got ruined.

I will keep you posted

Today was Robert's (Tres) last day today well full one really he will go home tomorrow.  His plane doesn't leave til 7:00 p.m.  For his last day some of his cousins and Aunts went to the Fairmont water park.  It wasn't that packed to be suprised.  Tres went on the diving board a lot and his other cousins Zack, Tyler, and me went on the slides a lot, but he went sometimes with us.  Then it was time to go home and it was our last day to see Tres.   Luckly I had my camera a long so I got some snap shots of Tres.  Some with my brother Tyler and Tres and some with Tres and me.  Tres is going for good and I won't be able to see him til next summer hopefully. 

Well I will keep in touch.
