School Pics

Jacob - 3/4s Preschool


Gabi - 4th Grade

Maya - 3rd Grade

Homecoming Fun!

We had a fun Homecoming Week!  We kicked it off with a color run.  The result of the color run is indicative of the girls personalities...Gabi loves to get messy and Maya doesn't like messes.


Flowers from Joyce's garden in my classroom.

Maya throwing the football at the field day and dunking a football captain!


Jacob Starts School!

I can't believe Jacob started preschool this fall.  He LOVES school and gets so excited when he gets to go.



Jacob's first "show and share"...he took his big crane truck and told the kids all about it!

Wyoming Football!!

We all attended a Wyoming football game in September.  Joe and Gabi were able to attend a couple more as well.  It was a fun season!

Catching up with Nicole

Fun on the slide in the Tailgate Zone



At the Pep Rally with some friends!


Getting to meet Cowboy Joe!


TEN

Gabi turned TEN at the end of September!  We are so proud of the confident, strong, smart girl she is! Here are some pictures of the family get together we had for her.


Instead of traditional birthday pancakes, she chose to have cinnamon coffee cake --  her favorite!


Gabi got to go to a Colorado Rockies game with Joe for her birthday!  They took my mom and dad along with them and had a great time!  Gabi hung out with Grammy Mary and Papa Gary for a couple days as well while Joe did some work in Colorado.










August/September

A few more pictures from the end of the summer and beginning of the school year!
Jacob helping Papa Dave do a second cutting of hay.

Best snuggle buddy ever!

The girls made these dirt buddies in June at Bible School...we had so much fun giving them funny haircuts all summer.  :)

We saw a 98% solar eclipse in Buffalo.  The shadows were really cool!


A Little Construction

Jacob was in heaven in August/September when we started building the barn.  All kinds of big earth movers sat outside out house for quite awhile.  He loved watching them operate and especially loved when the dump truck delivered what seemed like load after load of sand and gravel to get the pad level.





Done!  We just ordered up 49 photovoltaic solar panels to be installed on the south side of the barn!  They will be installed in March.  We are so excited to take advantage of the bright Wyoming sunshine to power and heat our home!!
