My little girl goes to Kindergarten

I can't believe I have a kid in school now. Time has truly flown by. I am so excited for Katelynn to start school, but as most of you know, it is bittersweet. I will miss her fun personality and all the great times we have had side by side as we have experienced aventure after adventure since the day she was born. Now she will be off in someone else's care most every day. Good luck, big girl, I miss you already!!
Standing in her new classroom. Her teacher is Ms. Scott and seems to be sweet. Hopefully she will love it and meet lots of new friends. Matt had to pull me away yesterday and tell me "Let's go, she's fine, she doesn't even care we're leaving". That's my independent girl!

I'm alive again! (kind of)

Our trip to VA to escape and let the kids have fun while I rested...

I bet you can't guess what Katelynn did every day for about 4 hours??? Yep, you guessed it! Ride Grandpa's horses. She got really good at riding by herself and getting it to go and even back up. She was in heaven! A few times Grandpa even took her off on a long ride in the fields.


Another favorite part of the trip was going to a wildlife park and feeding the animals. Brennon had no fear!



The kids also got to help feed the animals and even take a ride on a cow.

More horse riding with her cousin Hailey...

Brennon loved it too and by the end wanted to ride and lead the horse around by himself. Too bad he has to wait until he gets a little older
Their cousins came to play for the week and they had so much fun. I wish we lived closer, they got along so well.

This is one of my favorite places in my hometown, the duck pond. We fed the ducks and took fun pictures...


More cousin pics...

Thanks Mom and Dad for a great trip! It was so needed and well worth the drive.









Our family is always up for a great adventure and we are all kids at heart, so we wanted to share our adventures and moments with you! Enjoy!
