First Day of School 2017-2018

Summer is officially gone and the school year has begun. 
These two had their first day of school this past week and they were pretty excited about it. 




Marie is in 2nd grade and she is loving the fact that she has her very own desk that lifts up to reveal all her supplies. She also is excited for her science class this year.

Bennett is in TK and is in love with the fact that his classroom has a bearded dragon as a pet.
He also enjoys lunch in the lunch room, recess, and math. 

Brooks is taking some time getting used to being alone with mom during the day. He said over and over that he "needed to talk to Marie and Bennett" during their first day of school. When Marie came walking up the sidewalk from the bus he ran to her and said "I missed you" and gave her a big hug.

Courtney's Hero

We had an exciting last minute trip to see Uncle Don and Aunt Jean last weekend.
They have a horse named Courtney's Hero who is a young race horse.  Hero had a race on Saturday night and we were so anxious to watch him run!
He had a great race and so many people cheering him on.  That night he went from last place to 2nd!  He is a playful and spunky horse who loves carrots and attention. 

Thanks for sharing him Don and Jean!  We hope to see him again soon.

Day at the Farm

Our summer has been packed but we knew we had to make it to the farm for some time with the horses.

 The day started out rainy but we had a wonderful afternoon and evening full of fun. We rode horses, played with the kittens, dogs, and cows.

 A big surprise was that we were able to help load hundreds of baby pigs into the barn in the evening. 
Everyone had a job and surprisingly it went very well!
