It sure is fun to cheer on the local teams.  It is especially fun when it's your friends!  Jacob made it to state cross country and we were happy to attend and cheer him on!

Wild crew! 

That's a bug bus load! 

I decided that we should yell "don't look at the camera" when you want to take a photo of busy children.  Maybe reverse psychology will work and they will turn their heads to the photographer.  Ha!

Harvest 2016

Harvest time is here!  One of my favorite things every year! :-)

If you squint closely in this photo you can see that Lucas is in the driver's seat and Brent is riding shotgun.  That's a pretty big milestone! 

The peaceful lull of tractor riding! 

Newest addition to the farm.

Dreaming!

Tractor time with Grandpa Steve

Dad time!

Brad and Michelle were home for a weekend during harvest and it was fun to share the experience with Cameron and Nolan.  

Gator rides and exploring with Lucas.

My tractor windows were sparkling clean thanks to this handsome cleaning crew. 

Great Pa, Brent and Steve. :-)

Last pass of 2016!

Cross Country fun run

Our cross country team always hosts a 1 mile fun run for the elementary students after their home meet during homecoming week.  I don't know whose genes he has but Lucas thinks this is really fun to participate in.  The last few years is has always been after a morning of playing on his flag football team, too!  That's a lot of exercise! 

Jacob, Lucas and Christian.
