Chalk The Block

The Riverwoods hosts an event called "Chalk The Block".  Artists from all over come and draw pictures out of chalk.  They are quite amazing!  I took the boys during the day while some of the artists were still drawing.  They were able to see how it's done and then try to draw their own pictures with chalk.

 Since we went to this event, Mason is outside a lot drawing his own pictures out of chalk.  He's becoming quite good at it!

Cute Austin at 8 months old!

Parade Time

I just so happened to go to my mom's to can food on the day of Trent's Homecoming parade.  So, of course, we had to go check it out.  There weren't many kids or people at the parade so Tanner made out like a bandit when it came to candy.  He loved all the attention he received....and the candy!

1st Day of Preschool

This year, a few of my friends and I decided to start a preschool group with our kids.  There are 7 little boys that are in our group.  Tanner was so excited to have his first day of preschool at his house!  He loves that I teach him every few weeks.

The Group....minus a couple of kids! (Tanner, Jake Hermann, Braxton Dillon, Luke Hansen, Finn Wills - missing Oakley Johnson and Hank Hermann)

New Yard

This is what happens when you want a new yard...  Trees and grass planted!

Cabin Fun

We spent the Friday and Saturday before Labor Day at the Maddock Cabin with Mike and Devrie Gren and their boys.  It was such a relaxing stay.  Montana and Mike took Mason, Peyton, and Menphis down the river while Devrie and I sat outside the cabin watching the kids play and visiting.  It's always fun to get away and spend time with good friends!
