TC at state fair

kaitlyn and tc qualified for state fair.  tony got to help with the checking in and setting up and hanging out with her the first day, then matt and I hung out with her through the weekend while he had drill. note Matt's position in chair behind kaitlyn with his ds - how he spent most of the weekend! my dad did come by and bought him a bracelet so he got to go on rides for a while. I could barely talk kaitlyn out of the cat barn even to see the other 4-h exhibits! though once I did, I kind of wanted to escape back to the cat barn - fair was hot and crowded! but we all had fun and tc did well, getting all blues and a reserve grand in the costume contest as TC from magnum pi !

first day of school

3rd and 5th grade

end of the summer Oregon trip

we stopped on the way down to pick blackberries. matt was a amazing picker and didn't want to stop. kaitlyn was afraid if snakes, spiders, bees, the dark, the sun..  and overall was not thrilled with the experience.
