New ROWVA school

The new ROWVA school is finally finished and the kids were so excited for their first day.  I tried to snap a couple pictures with my phone.

The Baker's Visit

The Baker's came for a visit!!!  The kids were so excited to see their cousins.  We all got together at Katie and Aaron's house for dinner and family time.  Let me tell you we have some cute and crazy kids!  The only picture I didn't get was the big group shot of all the kids.

Girl Scouts visit the Vet

For Girl Scouts the girls took a trip to the local Vets office.  It was also a special treat because Lexi got to see her cousin Aubrie visiting from Washington!!

The girls got to see all kinds of machines, animal teeth, and learn interesting things about what a vet does.

Aubrie, Addysen, & Lexi (these girls are all within months of each other but you can't tell by their height)

Homemade dog treats for the local shelter

Lexi and I made homemade dog treats to donate to a local shelter.  We made chicken and beef flavored.  She had so much fun and it was a good way for her to do something for someone else.

she attempted this then I had to take over.  The dough was pretty tough to roll.

such a hard worker making those

so proud of our dog treats

More horse riding lessons

More horse riding lesson photos.  Lexi is loving this.  We are taking some time off over the Holidays but she is excited to start back up in January. 

Lexi had to stop and visit Bailey.  She is the Johnson's horse and Lexi just loves her.

I just thought this was a pretty picture in the barn

Hunting Season

The kids love hunting season..especially Hunter.  He enjoys spending quality time with Dad in the woods plus usually Grandpa Carl is out there too.  It makes him feel like one of the guys.
