Summer...coming to an end

Kasey's Grandpa Kent rode this Honda 90 for years.
It was then passed down to Kasey and Corby.
Keiser took his first ride on it this summer. He enjoyed the ride.

Kambell started Kindergarten!!!
Each day I ask her what her favorite thing about school was.
And each day she replies..."the bus."
Mrs. Garrison is her bus driver.

There was an abundance of tiny butterflies surrounding our trees this year.
Kambell & Kinlee were catching them like crazy.
They were each named and put to sleep right next to their beds each night.


Our sunflowers are so pretty this year. We tried them last year in our garden, too...but they grew so big and just tipped over. Kasey is the loyal gardener (& Kinlee is never far behind him). He keeps it well weeded. I turn the water on every once in awhile, but that's about it. We've enjoyed cucumbers, tomatoes, jalapenos, carrots, some peas and 1 or 2 strawberries so far. Soon our watermelons will be done and hopefully the pumpkins will turn orange before October.

Keiser was very curious when he spotted that bright yellow flower!

When my dad was about 5 years old he received this toy truck from his grandpa. Over the years it was well played with. After being left in the weather and sandboxes it rusted out and was in pretty tough shape. So for his birthday this year I had it refinished...as close to it's original shape as we could tell. He loved it! Someday Keiser will love it, too.
