Back to school!

Grant has really been going all summer, but I got him to take a few photos.  Once he saw Bailey and Andrew do it too, then he wanted to do it again!?

 Bailey -

 Andrew -

I'm so thankful they are excited for school.  Bailey would go year-round and it just sets the mood for all of us to be happy too!

Me - 

Year 15....here we go!

The Goliath

Our church hosts a 1-mile spartan-style race for dad's and kids called The Goliath.  BJ, Bailey and Andrew suited up and took to the course.  Grant decided he wasn't going to be left behind and escaped from the stroller and participated a little.  It was great!

Hey, where did that guy come from??

For some reason, Grant didn't even try to get out of the stroller for this part!

Pre Race and Post Race

Shower time!

And the post race meal....yep. corn dogs.  Does it get better?

We will see you next year mud pit.

Lake Days

Before we headed back to school, the kids and I went out for a few days at the Lake.  BJ was able to join us at the end.  We had a great time!

Tubin' - Grant loves it.  Andrew loves it more.  There is no fear in either of those boys!

Sunset swimming cruise!  Pawpaw was Captain and Andrew acted as his First Mate.  We had excellent service.

Bucket of Frogs...not much more to say about that.  Kids loved it.  I think they had 8 in the bucket at one time.  I have never seen frogs so small.  This type of entertainment is priceless.

Fishing.  Bailey caught this big sun fish ALL by herself.  All frogs instantly dumped and now the bucket is a fish aquarium.  

 The swing!  Pawpaw took us out to explore a few islands - since named swing island and rock island.  The first one we came to had this cool swing!  The kids loved it!  We explored the islands and had a great time.  We even brought BJ back to check it out once he got there.  So cool.

Thanks Bernie and Terry for letting us come!  Hopefully you have recovered! =)
