Gracie had her first day of preschool. She was so excited to go by herself. I can't believe she is all grown up. It kind of makes me sad.
This is Gracie by their class pet, the turtle.
This cute little girl sat down and played with Gracie as soon as she came into the class room.
This is Ms. Jennifer, Gracie's preschool teacher.

We went to Nana & Papa's house over the weekend. This is Gracie and her Papa watching TV.
Gracie didn't want to wait her turn to ride the horse so she just jumped on the back.
Gracie had her first day of dance Monday. She was so excited. Her leotard was at least one size too big. She was pretty much the best kid in the class. I have some more pictures coming. You'll see what I mean.
This is Nana and Gracie before her big day!

I round brushed Gracie's hair last week because she told me that she wanted to have hair like her cousin Kinzie. All day she insisted on being called Kinzie. She wouldn't call me mom, her Aunt Kristi was her mom. She looks up to Kinzie so much.
Cooper loves balls and anything that resembles one. We tied this balloon to his pants and it entertained him for the whole afternoon.
This is his cool new trick!
Gracie and Cooper with their friends Tate and Will.

For Labor Day weekend we went camping and spent time with the Clark family. Cooper had his first corn on the cob and loved it!

Gracie loved spending time with her cousins. She was so tuckered out from the long weekend that she fell asleep in Grandpa's lap:)
She loved having a sleep over with the girls. We missed everyone that couldn't be there. We had a blast with Natalie and her kids. It's so much fun to have them back in town!!!

Ryan started shooting his bow again. He is really anxious for hunting season! I think I'm going to go with him this year. I'm pretty good at shooting this thing:) Okay, I'll be honest. I couldn't even pull the bow back. In my defense, it is a left handed bow but I don't think that made much of a difference.
Jake enjoyed the bow too. He's thinking of getting one for himself.
Here's Jake and Kinzie breaking in the new Rhino.
Kinzie got a little cold but she was a really good sport. I think she ended up having a really good time.

Here's Ryan shooting Jake's gun. I think it's an AK 47. I'm sure if that's wrong everyone will make fun of me. But I will be the first to admit that I know nothing about guns. I'm pretty sure this is Jake's 22 hand gun
Here I am shooting Ryan's 40? I'm pretty good at it:) I think I closed my eyes when I shot.

This was the cool Rhino to ride in:)

Both Rhino's. I like the one on the left the best:)

Jake's canopy came in handy later that day. The boys!
Our engagement picture:)
Me and Kinzie

Ryan on top of the world! There was a storm that caught us on our way down the mountain. It was raining and hailing. We were not prepared for weather like that. Here is Grandpa Clark doing his best to stay dry.
Ryan was freezing and I was trying to help keep his forehead from getting hit so hard by hail stones. I ended up covering his eyes. Oops!
This is my husband who refused to wear pants because he didn't believe me when I told him it was going to be cold and rainy. The HIGH for labor day was 65. Unfortunately it was only 42 degrees when we got back to the truck. He's in basketball shorts and a long sleeve t-shirt. Needless to say, he was freeeeezing.
Kinzie had a blast! If you look close you can see how hard it's raining.
