Montana Marathon

This past weekend our family went to visit Grandma and Grandpa in Montana. While there Dan participated in his third marathon. He ran with his niece, Briony. They did an awesome job and had a good time. Madi and Ethan also got to join in on the fun. They ran in the Kids Race. Ethan had to run half a football field and Madi had to run the whole football field. They did great and had a blast. Hopefully we have two track stars on our hands.

Madi's first day of second grade

Here is Madi on her first day of second grade. She looks so grown. She loves her teacher and was glad to see all her friends.

Ethan's first day of preschool

Here is my baby as he ventures to his first day of preschool. He goes to the local Montessori preschool three days a week. He had no trouble telling me bye and heading in to the room. He just did not understand why he had to wear his slippers. They do that so the floors will not get so dirty. He thought it was cool after I explained the reason to him. I took a few pictures and left him there. He did great and so did I. I will probably lose it when he goes off to K5.

South Dakota State Fair

We had a great time at the South Dakota State Fair. We saw lots of animals and ate lots of carnival food. They kids really enjoyed all the 4h animals. Madi even wanted to buy one of the rabbits for sale. He was pretty cute and cuddly. We watched the pig races and went to the petting zoo. It was a fun day with some beautiful weather.
