Miles Baptism

This weekend Ashley, Jacob and I, along with Great Grandma Shirley made the journey to Minnesota for baby Miles baptism. Here are some pictures we got.

The Godparents - Lon and Rachael with baby Miles
Ashley with baby Miles. She is such a great helper and so good with the little ones!
We tried to get a group picture, this is as good as we could get. They don't sit still for very long!
Sophia and Jacob - he would rather be on the floor playing with the farm animals and tractor.

Adventureland

On Saturday we met the Boothby family at Adventureland. We all had SO much fun! The weather was perfect (until about 3:30 when it started to rain) and the lines in the morning were short. The kids had a blast - and so did the parents :-)

Here's Mason in front, Ryan, Jacob and Tyler in the middle.

Mason and Jacob's favorite ride was the Semi's.
Here's Tyler and Ryan after getting wet on the log ride.
For some reason everyone but daddy gets drenched in the water rides - is it a weight thing??
We had to take a few minutes after the log ride and the tube ride to wring out the kid's socks. They were soaked.
Here's the group on the log ride - who will get drenched this time??
Ashley and Tyler just got soaked!

Ashley got pretty wet from the log ride but Tyler got it the worst!! Guess who came out dry again - Daddy!

All day Ryan and Tyler held hands and hugged from ride to ride. It was the cutest thing. They were so happy to be together.

And here is Jacob riding the planes.

Pioneer

Today we celebrated our 10 year anniversary at Pioneer. We actually hit 10 years last year but didn't get the chance to celebrate with the community until now. We hosted the chamber coffee and had about 70 or so people from the community come. Then we got the afternoon off!!

Here is the group. They are a great group to work with.

Bird Dog

Our Honey caught herself a pheasant! Here are a few pics.

She was very proud of her catch.
Don't even think about trying to get this away from me...

MiniVan Mom

I am now officially a mini-van mom :-) Last Thursday night we bought a new vehicle. It is really nice - the kids just love it. It has 2 dvd players and one up front if the vehicle is in park. Wireless headsets, plug ins for their xbox if they want, leather, 2 rows heated seats, back up rear view camera and all sorts of things. I know some of my friends are anti-minivan but it really is nice!

Ryan's favorite part is the dvd player. He usually sits in the way back.

1st Day of School

Today was the 1st day of school for Ashley & Ryan. 5th grade and 1st graders now! Here are a few pics from this morning.

There they go!!
They both had a great day today and are excited to go back tomorrow. Ryan said he played girls chase boys at recess (he said he never gets caught because he is too fast) and Ashley got to sit right next to and have a locker next to Kendra, her best friend.

August Weekend

On Thursday night Daddy left for a show in Indiana. So mommy tried to keep 3 kids entertained for the weekend, I got a lot of help from Aunt Rachael and Gramma & Grampa.

On Friday night Mommy, Ash & Ryan went to Star Wars! It was great. On Saturday we played miniature golf and went to the park. Then on Sunday we had a picnic at the park. Here is the group at the picnic. Look we even got Star Wars happy meals :-)

Here's Aunt Rachael!

Grampa, Ryan, Ashley & Rach took out a paddle boat.
There they go!
What a great weekend. Daddy did great and had 2 pigs place 1st. We can't wait to see him, I'm sure he will be very tired!
