Jack minus training wheels...

Carnival Ride

Jack rode this helicopter ride, which was a surprise to us. Typically he is hesitant and will not give it a try but now that he is 4, he seems open to a lot of new things. He is trying new rides (helicopter ride, a jet ski ride, a dinosaur ride and even the ferris wheel with mommy). He rode a donkey at the fair, has started sharing his room with Griffin and LOVES it, and has given up his training wheels all in a matter of minutes which he is pretty proud of. He has also taken more of an interest in his letters, recognizes most and writing a handful. We are very proud of course and are so enjoying his new age. Jack just finished up Gymnastics which he wants to start up again but we are going to wait until January after the family is settled into a routine, or at least mommy is. Preschool starts September 8th and he will go 3 days a week from 8-11, his class has a total of 8 kids which we are excited about, a bigger class than last year which had 5 kids total.

Jack and daddy camping

Daddy and Jack met up with some friends camping at Lake Ogallala, pitched a tent and spent a night by the Lake. Of course camping with friends was fun, campfires, sleeping in a tent and SMORES!

Moore Farm Harvest

The boys and I took our annual trip to the Moore's farm to experience Harvest time. It was fun as always, enjoying great weather, good food, thanks to Mary, and good people... All the Moore's (Ken, Mary, Jean, Rob, Christy, and Kirk) were there, we missed Rick of course but he was off in a golf tournament.

Griffin summer of 2009

Griffin is getting bigger everyday and is a true joy... He is easy going, loves his family, loves anything with a motor or that moves and loves to eat! We all laugh when he is around and are enjoying the little man he is turning into.
