Ready for School

This is how Dylan dresses for school.  He has a GREAT teacher who fully supports his inner super hero. 

Updates

Life has been very busy lately.  Three of us are in school, Holli is playing soccer,  Drew is coaching soccer and we have a horse to care for.  These are all good changes but I do miss the easy going summer we had.  

Holli rides her horse most everyday and is getting better all the time.  She has lessons once a week and helps with all the horse chores.  Unfortunately, she had a rough day yesterday.  Tigger bucked which caused Holli to fall off.  She was not hurt but it was scary.  We knew this would happen sometime.

Over the weekend we had a fun horse adventure... we took Tigger on a trail ride.  There were 4 people and only 1 horse so we all took turns riding.  Tigger was great and this allowed us to go farther than we normally would have.  We're excited to try it again. 

 Taking a break.

Hummingbird

Dylan and I came home after a nice morning swim to find this Hummingbird INSIDE our house.  I have NO idea when or how he came inside.  Poor little guy was trying to get out our front windows.  I opened the front door and it didn't take too long to persuade him to go outside.

Father Son Backpacking

Drew and Dylan went on a Father / Son backpacking trip over the weekend.  They went with 3 other pairs and had a GREAT time.  I obviously wasn't there but here are some photos.

The hike in was only about 10 minutes.  Dylan carried the tent and some water in his pack.

Weekend Visit

We just finished up a very nice visit with Grandma and Grandpa.  We went to the Bar D Chuck Wagon for the first time and had a BLAST!  Unfortunately, no one rememebered to bring a camera!

Celebrating Grandpa's birthday with all his favorites... chili dogs, corn on the cob and peach cobbler.  Yummy! My Dad's friend from High School, Corky, was able to come up from Phoenix for a few days, too! 

Making  "some mores" by the fire.

Enjoying lunch with Holli.  We can't wait for Grandma to come back next month!!!  We'll be getting lots of Grandma time!

Day Off

Dylan and I had a nice day off from school today.  

We spent most of the day riding the river trail.  We made a few stops along the way.   We had a nice picnic at Gazebo Park, fed the fish at the hatchery and played in the river.  Now we're both refreshed and ready for school tomorrow.  We're ALL excited about Grandma and Grandpa coming tomorrow!

Preschool Success!

Dylan had a great first day of Preschool!  There were a few tears this morning but overall he was VERY brave!  I had been dreading this day for awhile and it went way better than I ever expected.  He even said he wants to go back!
