Madalyn's First Field Trip

Madalyn and her classmates just finished lunch.

Mrs. Wade got the class popsicles to cool down.

Here are some of the animals we saw.

Weston's Second Haircut

First of all, thank goodness for Ashlie Schenkel. She is so patient when cutting Weston's hair. He is a busy body and doesn't understand the concept of sitting still. He looked like such a big boy after this haircut. He is no longer a baby but a toddler. It makes me sad.

Kids Update

Well, no pics but a quick update on the kiddos. They have both had their check-ups pretty recently.

Weston is still a big boy. He is in the 90th percentile for weight and 95th percentile for height. He is starting to talk a lot more which makes me happy. I was a worried Mommy.

Madalyn is slowing down in her growth pattern. She goes from being a chunky baby to a very slim girl. She is in the 45th percentile for height and 40th percentile for weight. She is doing well in school which makes us very happy.

Riding White Lightning

I love fall. The days are beautiful and the kids get to spend more time outside playing. Here they are riding White Lightning (aka Glue Stick). He is a very old horse that Madalyn just loves. Weston decided he needed to be riding with them that day. He loved it. What a life, my kids are so lucky to get to grow up at a ranch and especially at their great-great grandfather's ranch.

Madalyn's 6th Birthday

It is a little late but I have downloaded all her birthday pics or at least the one we got until my camera died on us. She had such a great time. She got a trampoline from her Grandma and Papa and Gran and Grandfather got her clothes and an art eisle. We have quite a little artist at the house. We did a Halloween Theme since it was on November 1st. We had all kinds of goodies from Halfmann's Cake Cottage.

Who doesn't love a Cowboy?

Weston loves his boots and wears them as often as he can.

Too bad his feet grow so fast that we can't keep them for long.
