Back in September, we went to the annual TriState Rodeo in Fort Madison, Iowa. We all look forward to it so much and have a great time with the Krogmeiers, the Richmonds, the Schwantzs and all our friends there!
Sam was able to have his beloved cotton candy!
Noah was excited to try out a new treat, funnel cake!
Obligatory opening day Bears garb, even if we aren't super confident in our team this season!
Our rodeo group just gets bigger and bigger each year!
The older boys enjoyed hat day the following week at school!
I celebrated my *gasp* 20th high school reunion with the usual group of fools!
The group got together with some of the kiddos the next day!
Me and my best friend!
Can't believe I've known these lovelies for over 20 years! I don't know how I would have turned into a moderately successful adult without them!
Meanwhile, Mike celebrated his sister, Kim's 50th birthday with a boat ride downtown!
Matching uncle/nephew shirts on happenstance, score!
We had yet another fun weekend when the Benhart kids came to town. CJ, Meredith, and Kate are just heroes to our kids. We all had a great time!
Isaac has been insisting on reading textbooks lately, wonder where he gets that from...
We took advantage of the beautiful weather last weekend to go apple picking!
The ultra golds were everyone's favorite this time around.
Sam gnawed on his despite having some loose teeth.
And wouldn't you know it, Sam lost his first tooth on the car ride home!
We hosted our friend, Boots for the weekend. The boys were all smitten as usual!
And Mike's gift to his sister was a trip to a Monday Night football Bears game complete with limo. She appropriately repurposed an old jersey!
So, fall goes flying by as fast as ever! Looking forward to Halloween and other fun adventures!
