I am still here! Our little expedition to the hay field got rescheduled due to the below normal temperatures, and the rather heavy falling of snow. Right now, it is -2.7° outside, and still snowing. There for a while we couldn't see half a mile, it was snowing so hard! Thankfully there is very little wind, or it could turn into a regular blizzard!
Keep posted,
Andrew B.

Weather
Good Morning!
I am still in the house waiting for everyone to get up, so I thought I would write a quick post about the weather. Currently, it is -8° outside, with a light dusting of snow falling from the sky... The weather man says it is supposed to make it all the way up to 1° today! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......... Tomorrow it is only supposed to get up to -3°! That kind of weather sure doesn't make one want to go out to the barn and do chores! O well, I guess it isn't that bad...
Today, Dad and I are planning on going over to the land we rent about 15 miles away, and bringing a couple loads of hay home for the cows. Maybe I will get a picture later...
Got to go,
Andrew B.

I'm "It"
I'm Tagged! Well, I guess it is about time I got back to blogging... :-)
Mom (A Ray of Hope) got tagged with this questionare, and now she tagged me, so here goes:
Six names you go by:
(Six? Wow, I'll have to think...)
Andrew (I go by this most of the time)
Andrew B. (When we are with other Andrews, or I like to sign emails or blog posts...)
Werdna (When I am being silly ;-) )
Andy (Don't call me that!)
ARB (My initials, also as in ARB Productions)
Brother (No explanation)
Three things you are wearing right now:
A white/cream sweater with Tweety Bird riding a motorcycle on it...
A pair of blue jeans,
My Leatherman Kick, I don't go anywhere without it!
Three things you want very badly right now:
(This is an interesting question. I have read several other people's blogs where they have said things like Grace, Peace, Love, More people to come to Christ, etc. But, being as I am a Christian, and all Christians should want those things, it really doesn't reflect on that individual's personality. Soooooo, I am going to rephrase the question to: Three (Material) things you want very badly right now:
A professional HD video camera
A good video editing computer, ie. Really fast, and really BIG hard drive
A farm of my own, some day... :-)
Three things you did last night/yesterday:
Chores, twice. :-)
Did Jacob's science lession with him.
I took a shower, and went to bed...
Two things you ate today:
Well, seeing as I haven't had breakfast yet, I will just list 2 things I ate yesterday:
Fruit salad with pomegranate, pineapple, and grapes. Yumm!
Fresh home-made unbaked granola. I prefer it baked, but the rest of the family doesn't...
Two people you last talked to on the phone:
Well, that would be the person who keeps calling my cell phone looking for somebody else. :-)
And probably Dad, although I don't remember exactly...
Two things you are going to do today/tomorrow:
Chores, of course!
I really need to fix the tire on my pickup, seeing as it is totally flat.
Your three favorite beverages
Water
Raw Goat's Milk
Hot spiced apple cider!
NOW I TAG EIGHT PEOPLE:
(Eight! I don't know if I know that many bloggers that haven't been tagged already...)
Hannah K.
Jonathan P.
Jonathan B. -- I know Mom tagged you too, but consider it a Double Tag. :-)
Sorry, can't think of any more... If you were not listed, and you want to do it, TAG! You're IT!

My Birthday!
Hi All!
Well, I am officially 19 years old! Time sure does fly, doesn't it? This morning, seeing as around here people always get off of chores on their birthdays, I was delegated to go pick up the Azure order in Dawson while the rest of the family did chores... So much for time off! :-) I drove my pickup, so it wasn't that bad. ;-)
Here are a few pictures of my presents:
Mom gave me a bunch of Rare Earth Magnets from K and J Magnetics, including a 1"x1"x1" cube. That thing has an increadable 95 lbs of pull strength!
Jacob gave me a really cool BRIGHT YELLOW wireless mouse for my computer. THANKS JACOB!
At lunch time, Cora gave me "The Andy Griffith Show: The Official 4th Season" on DVD, and "Monopoly: The Card Game".

Thanks Cora! (Still wondering what's in those other 2 packages... ;-) )
We played a couple games of Monopoly: The Card Game, and I won them both! Hmmm, must be my birthday... Soo far, the day has been very happy!

Remodeling my room...
I have been waiting for a certain package to arrive via FedEx, and it finally came yesterday! Of course, I had to help dad with spreading manure untill lunch time, so I didn't have a chance to open it till then. (Our FedEx man usually arrives about 10:00 AM) Anyway, here is a picture of my computer room before it got 'Renovated' --
I haven't ever had an LCD monitor before, so it is a big step up from my HUGE old CRT! Now I am writing in style. :-)
More later,
Andrew B.
And here is a picture of the new addition:

Early Birthday gifts.
Hi all! I am back once again, thought it was about time I let everybody know what is going on around here. :-)
It is already the first of November, and my brother's and my birthdays are fast approaching! Where does time fly to?
This year, for our birthdays, Dad decided he wanted to get us started hunting phesants. But, seeing as we didn't have any shotguns, or any experience, he took us up to Bismarck last Wed. and we all went to Scheels. We came home with 2 new shotguns, 2 cases of shells, and a case of clay targets! :-) Dad, Jacob and I went out and practiced shooting both Friday afternoon, and yesterday, which was a lot of fun. And we actually hit most of them! :-)
Last night, Cora decided to give Jacob an early birthday present too. What was it? The DVD "The Widow's Might"
This is an AWESOME video! It was produced by a group of homeschoolers, on a very minimal budget, and with very little previous experience. I can not say enough about the CHRISTIAN morals in the story, the PHENOMENAL amount of effort put into the production of this video, the AMAZING job that these kids did in their acting, and the VIDEOGRAPHY\3D EFFECTS were great! I can not say enough about this video! If it were made in Hollywood, I don't think the video could have been put together better, and I KNOW the morals wouldn't have been there!
If you are looking for a good, Christian, family friendly video, THIS IS IT! I would even recommend it above the popular "Facing the Giants", or "Fireproof", or even "Come What May."
There is a reason it took the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival's Audience Choice award, AND the Best of Festival award, (With the $101,000 prize!)
Overall, I would reccomend this video to ANYBODY!
I guess you can probably tell that I enjoyed watching it last night, right? :-)
Today, we are planning on moving our stock cows home from the summer pasture, so we will probably have pictures of that on our blogs soon...
Have a good day!
