Homecoming and Horse Riding

Friday was blue and gold day for homecoming week.  Gabe and I were both excited to wear our matching shirts.  He got to go to the parade with his class at school.  Andrew also went with Rachel.

Soooo, here's Andrew with my old vest on riding his horse with beads and a hat.  Just how I used to ride!  Except we don't have a cowboy hat or red beads.  Blaze orange hunting hat and brown beads had to do.  Some cowboy boots might have helped but we don't have any of those either.

An action shot!  Look at that fringe flying on the vest.  So cool!

 I must stand like this often.  I've found both of them starting to do this when they look at me!

 We walked to the park tonight and the boys had a good time playing and throwing rocks in the river.

Looking north on the East Fork, Des Moines River in Dakota City, IA.  We need some rain!  There isn't much water in that river...

First Day of School!

On August 29 Gabe started his second year of preschool.  This year he is going 5 days a week, half days at a different school from last year.  So far he LOVES it!

Andrew wasn't interested in the family shot.  Too bad because I love this picture!  It would have been nice to have all 4 of us but it is hard to convince Andrew to do something he doesn't want to do.

Gabe with his teachers.  He doesn't look too sure of this yet??  Mrs. Mueller and Mrs. Ireland are his teachers.

I think it is so cool that they get lockers.  I didn't get a locker until 7th grade!

And one of the best things about school is that Hudsen is in the same class!  They get to play together every day.

His favorite...

If Andrew had his way he would ALWAYS sleep with his momma...

Ice cream craziness....

Our kids love ice cream (who doesn't?) and eat it almost daily. When Sydney was here we had sunday's every night and one night I offered Andrew a bib.... Then next thing all of the kids were in bibs!
