The First Day of School!

This year Austyn gets to go to a new school!  We are trying a different program which is run by both teachers and parents!  The opportunities for her exceed that of a traditional classroom, and I feel she will flourish with all of her new found knowledge and experiences!

 

 

 ... and she gets to ride the bus, which is always exciting for a second grader!

 

So independent!  Walked right in and got down to business!

 



 

Nice work kiddo you are amazing!

Labor Day Funfest!

We always try to cram as much as possible into Labor Day weekend!  It started with Ellensburg rodeo, then an old country concert at the Snoqualmie Casino, and finally a great day of recouping at the cabin and on the lake in Kachess.  Of course I didn't have kids! SO of course I didn't take pics!(: Bummer!  Anywho here is one of me and my girls before a night of broncs, bulls and county swing! 

   

The Grant County Demo Derby and Fair!

There is just something about a fair that is irresistible for kids!  Maybe, just maybe it is the animals, carnival rides, cotton candy and hand made curly fries and corn dogs!  I'm just not sure!

 

 Don't ask me why they want to make funny faces all the time, but here we are watching Uncle Josh at the demo! They loved the crashes as you can imagine and their favorite car was one painted like Lightning McQueen! Super funny if you ask me!

 

First ride was the Ferris Wheel to break them in slowly! From there it went extreme!

 

Ry went all by herself on the ride like the stratosphere! Crazy girl! Loved it so much she went twice! She met the height requirement for all the rides this year so she was super excited!

 



 

Austyn on the sky trampoline!  They strap you into bungees and then you jump on a trampoline! Wonder who thought that one up!(:

Ride'em Cowgirls!

We finally got her some reins and then she was gone! I couldn't keep up! She has riding in her blood and she stuck like glue, even after Tucker got a good scare! Amazing I say!

Ry is in training too and loves to trot! It cracks me up because it has to rattle her little brain pretty good!
