Rodeo 2019!

We had our usual awesome time at the annual TriState Rodeo in Fort Madison Iowa last weekend.  The kids are master candy catchers at the parade!
And I got plenty of baby time with our newest member, Maryn!  She's just a love and got spoiled by everyone around her for the weekend!
 It's official, both Noah and Ayla are taller than Aunt Michelle now!
 The boys are a lot of fun to travel with these days: not teeny babies that need naps and not teenagers that are too cool.  It's a great time!
 It was a beautiful night for the rodeo, until the rain moved in.  But fortunately we had a pretty good time before that!


Noah, master of the photo bomb.
 Everyone got their treats.  Isaac enjoyed kettle corn and cotton candy.
 Sam LOVES his cotton candy, and Noah even sneaked in his funnel cake before the showers started.
 The annual line up of all the kids, can't believe how many we have now from newborn - 11 years old!
 The kids found a pretty interesting bug while playing in Dale & Becky's yard, always something fun to do with these great friends.
 Back at home, the big news is that we have a black belt candidate!  He signed all his paperwork and the intense training has begun.  If he passes all his screenings, he should have that belt at the end of January!
 We have squeezed in a couple visits to Papa's house too, recently.  This last time, Auntie Kim and Daddy showed the boys how to play some handball. 
 Sam just being Sam, constant joker!

 And Miss Molly is doing well and preparing for her big Halloween birthday!  She's just thrilled about her costume.
So now we head in to fall and look forward to fun times with Halloween!
