Indianola Balloon Festival (minus seeing the balloons!)
Trip to Carroll to see Melissa, Maxwell & Emmy - and touching a bunny for the first time!
Brady with his cousins (on my side). They only had a hour and half all together, but we got one picture!
Chris and I (& Brady) celebrated our 10 year anniversary this month. Two Caribbean martinis - yummy!!
I wanted a picture of Chris and I, but this will have to do!!
We made it to Brenton Arboretum a few times this summer with friends.
We finally made it to the New Hope Village employee family picnic this year in Carroll. It was fun!!
We had some dirty sweaty kids after the picnic, so why not have a bath together?? Bath times are a lot more fun with cousins!
Bedtime snack in Grandma and Grandpa's bed. Gabe is wondering when Lyvie will feed him??
Learning how to skip rocks at Badger Creek...
It's too hot to be outside, so let's paint!
Texas Roadhouse with the Wanningers and Grandma & Grandpa Espenhover. He crawled under the table so he could sit by some of his favorite boys.
Going to the driving range for the first time. It was fun (and mommy was thrilled to be out there again!)
Teeing up
His swing needs some work..
It was hot out - time for a drink of water! (or 20!!)
We said good-bye to a wonderful man this month. Earl Mart passed away at the end of August. I typically think of old men as grumpy old men, but he was NOT. EVER..... He was seriously the sweetest old man I have ever met. I will always hear his gruff voice in my head and miss the look on his face when we walk through the door. He was so happy to see us. We were lucky to have had him in our life!!
We tried the Renaissance Fair this year with Alecia, Rhonda, Brenten and Lyvie. Here's Brady's first time on a horse!
