This is the Wild Bunch!!
Zachary, Landon, Braxon, and Leeanna. Study each one and this picture truly tells a story!

Week of Aug. 14

This picture is one of my favorites of our kids. This was taken on July 7th. We were at Glacier National Park on the continental divide walking to Hidden Lake. We got sun burnt walking in the snow in our shorts and t-shirts.

Well we had open house last night at Sunset Lake.

We got to see Leeanna's and Zachary's classrooms.

Leeanna is still trying to eat all of her lunch. "They only give me like 10 minutes" she keeps telling us. She has never won any speed eating contest. But we are working on it. She signed up for the 1st grade briefcase program yesterday. Once a week she will get to bring home a different briefcase with lots of fun activities for learning to read more independently.

Zachary's desk was clean and tidy. We got to see his AR (Accelorated Reader) book he is reading and he has his first locker at school. It was clean, nothing in it. I'm sure that will not last long. A great place to forget stuff in every day when the weather get colder.

We have a wedding on Saturday and the kids are spending the night at Grandma Dee's house.

Trace Adkins Concert on 9/11

OK, so this posting is about me..... Yep, no kids to report on. Just me and my concert buddy Barb Smalla. We went to see Josh Gracin and Trace Adkins on 9/11 at the Allegan County Fair. The picture on the left is our self portrait. An of course you know who is on the right!!!!!

2nd Week of School

Well, we made it. 2nd week of school. . . Yippie!!

Leeanna found the milk line at lunch and can get her lunch now. She just does not have enough time to eat it. Only 20 minutes. She is not a speed eater for sure!

Zachary is doing wonderful. He only has 15 minutes for lunch.

Here is the gang on the first day of school. Leeanna, Jacob, Zachary, Braxon, Caleb and Landon. What a great lookin' bunch if kids if I do say so myself. They all go to Grandma Dee's house for daycare.

The first day of school. Zachary has Mrs. Wilson and is now in 3rd Grade. Leeanna is in 1st grade and has Mrs. Banner. Both love school but wish that the weather would cool down. Leeanna is lucky enough to have a teacher who has air conditioning in her room. Zachay "sits in a pool of sweat" every day.
