Owen is 2

Yesterday we celebrated Owen's 2nd Birthday. It was a perfect day for a b-day party. They had a bounce house set up and a trampoline to jump on. Wore the girls out!!  For some reason I didn't get any pictures with Eliott in them. Owen really enjoyed his cake or maybe I should say frosting!!

1st day of Kindergarten and 2nd Grade

Today was the 1st day of school. The girls were up early and ready to go.  It was hard for Haydn to wait the extra hour after Hannah left for school. Kindergarten has 2 transition days. Where they go shortened 1st two days. Haydn had a blast on her first day as well as Hannah. Haydn said her favorite part of today was lunch and recess!!

Fogle Lake

This is our 3rd year of going to Fogle Lake. This year the weather was PERFECT!!  We rode paddle boats, canoed, rode horses, wiener roast, smores and had a birthday celebration for Hannah and Uncle Mark. Whew, we packed in alot in 24 hrs!

John and Karleen got two new horse just a couple days before we were there. Abby and John were great leading the kids around on the horses.

Here the girls are waiting their turn!
