We were able to run the Klondike Rush 5K with friends this year!

We had so much fun putting together our 4-H Club's Parade float!  We won Overall Best Float!

Grammy Joyce got a new kitten. :)

Gabi passed the written test so she's able to practice for her Hardship license.  Watch out!

We spent four days at the cabin with a few other families and had so much fun! The kids played and explored and we were all able to reconnect and decompress from the busy summer.

Gabi is running high school cross country this year!  I'm so excited that I will get to hang out with her this season.  We always start the year with the Zombie Run, a fundraiser for the local food pantry.  Gabi was a zombie this year with the rest of the high school team.  Maya and Jacob both ran the race.

The kids' projects also did well at the Wyoming State Fair this year!

Gabi's bed was Overall 2nd Place

Maya's quilt was Overall First Place

Maya's project was the Overall Grand Champion!

The start of the school year came too soon, but the kids were excited to head back!  Three different schools again this year!

With school starting, cross country also begins!

Gabi's first cross country race.  She did great!

Maya

Maya won the 8th grade race and her teammates were 2nd & 3rd!

Maya also won the meet in Douglas and ran a PR for a 3K!
