First Day of School 2013

 Another year of school has started.  As much as I love that they get to go to school and see friends and learn new things, school also stresses me out.  I constantly want to make sure they do well and are kind to others.  It also means my babies are another year older.  Plus side I get to pay less for childcare than in the summer :)

New Windsor Rodeo

This was our first year at the New Windsor Rodeo.  The kids and I had a great time with family.  Lexi of course wants a horse now.  The kids enjoyed the rodeo, carnival food & games.  We can't wait to go next year :)

Knox County Fair Cattle Show

 This past weekend we went to the Knox County Fair to support Hunter & Lexi's cousin Addysen who was showing cattle.  She did such a good job showing and we are so proud of the little farm girl!!

Snowball

Lexi's 6th Birthday is coming up and she has been talking about a bunny.  I of course have said NO this whole time.  I finally caved and looked around for bunnies.  There was only 1 store in Pekin that carried them.  So instead of waiting for her actual birthday we drove to Pekin to get her bunny.  Knowing my luck had I waited we wouldn't have been able to get one then.

Tina kept her and Emma busy while Hunter and I went to pick one out.  Once we got it the store guy held her while we went to get Lexi.  I told her I wanted to show her something.  We walked around the corner and I whispered "Happy Birthday" to he and pointed to the guy.  She smiled and yelled.  The guy handed her the bunny and it was love at first sight.

These two love to hold her because she is such a snuggly bunny!!

 Izzy & Tabby didn't know what to think of her at first.
