The kids stated school a couple weeks ago and I think we are settling into our new routine nicely. They both love their teachers and are happy with who is in their class this year, so here's to a wonderful school year!
Stella started 4th grade!
Porter started 2nd grade!! He has the same teacher that Stella had for 2nd grade, so it's been really nice since we already know her.
A big turtle that was making his way through our backyard one day.
Headed to Okoboji over Labor Day weekend. Only our 2nd trip this summer.
Porter caught a huge fish, it even broke the fishing pole!
Stopped at Barefoot Bar one afternoon.
Met up with the Potthofs one afternoon and the kids had a blast on their LilyPad!
EJ caught her very 1st fish on their last morning there. Then a bit later she caught another fish!
Yesterday some of my girlfriends from college and I all gathered together in Ames for a football game. Although we needed up losing it was at least a close game! The weather was beautiful and we had great fun catching up tailgating and then having everyone over here last night for dinner and drinks.
Me, Elaine, Mindan, Anica and Jenna.
All of our off springs except for little Chase, Elaine's little boy who is 18 months old. She decided he would be too much work to really enjoy the game.
I look like a shaggy dog! Haha! Porter wouldn't wear an ISU shirt, but he did wear a shirt that was red and gold. I will take what I can get!
