New Friend Kyle

A big time forth grader who lives up the street. Yeah, that's right, I said fourth grader. What's up?

Just wrestling. Not fighting. Remember, I don't have a big brother to push me around. Only a dirty boxer dog.

Remember this?

First Day of School*-*-*-*Marrion Mustangs

Susie was so sad to see her summertime friend leave her.

Our neighbors Tyler, Ayumi, Maya, and Boomer were outside while I forced Braiden into a series of pics. Enjoy!

Braiden is now a First grader. He rides to school in style on bus #108, although his school is only 1/2 a mile away. His teacher is named Mrs. Schiet, but wisely goes by Mrs. "S". We got several before school shots. However, I was forbidden to take any pictures on school grounds-by Braiden-, so be happy with what you got. Nor was I allowed to kiss him goodbye. Hopefully he gets this all out of his system at an early age and will hold my hand in public at 15. A mother can dream.

Where the Wild Things Are

We found a dragonfly on our journey through the bramble as well as a bumble bee perched upon a milk thistle flower.

Picking Berries

So, I know this is very common place for the area, but I was very excited to find a blackberry bramble on the other side of the park by our house. Just a few scrapes on your shins can earn you a delightful bunch of very sweet berries. Bowen came over for the day so we decided to go. Susie barrels down the small path like thunder causing the boys to huddle together. Hoping not to be knocked off their rockers. We also found a grape vine with very small sour grapes.

Bicycle Bicycle

I like to ride my bicycle I like to ride around.
