Clowning Around

My theatre buff, Haley, found last year's Halloween make-up and transformed herself into Boots the clown. She entertained her brother and sister with silly clown antics. It scared her dad. He has a thing about clowns and spiders.

5TH GRADER!!

Haley started 5th grade on August 23rd. This means that she now takes the bus from Easter Lake to Carlisle, changes buses and rides on to the neighboring town of Hartford. I tried to make up a rhyme, School is fun, ride bus one....bus 17 goes inbetween, Take 5 home or be alone. Haley got mad at me, 5th graders don't need rhymes. She said the first day was fantastic.

PRESCHOOLER!!

We attended the Carlisle Preschool picnic mid August. Lots and lots of classmates. Audrey is excited to go!
Friends Derek and Brendan will be in her class.

Visting Family

Sara and John joined us for a long weekend while traveling from Washington State to Texas. John will be stationed out of Florida with the Air Force for the next year and Sara will stay in Texas, close to her family. We worked hard to talk them into moving to Des Moines, but with no success.

Reunion Time

We celebrated 2 family reunions this July. One on Jen's mom's side in Esterville Iowa and one on Jen's Dad side in Okoboji Iowa.

Soccer Camp

The girls spent a few days attending the Grandview Soccer Camp. They worked on dribbling, passing, shooting, footwork and more. It rained two out of the three days, but they worked right through.
