1st day of school

Back to school already....  This is Addie's last year at CES.  Can't believe it.  Seems like yesterday I was walking her to Big K at the brand new school.  Now a 5th grader, walking her little sis to 1st grade!  Macie is ready to get busy in 1st.  Ready to bring home some math work she told me this morning. 

 Since it was such a pretty morning, Leah and I went on a walk with Katie and Laney to the park.

Almost 10 months old.  She is really moving now.  Crawling, talking, waving, and getting 2 more teeth in.  She was glad to see her sisters come home from school.... Mom gets kind of boring after awhile.

Happy B-day Clint

Clint's b-day was Aug. 8th.  He didn't want to do anything special so we had lunch together and ate this big cookie!!  He is such a great hubby and daddy!! We love him so much. 

 

 The girls were trying to help blow out his one and only candle and he was not cooperating.

One Important Decision

On Aug. 4th -  Addie made a HUGE decision to get baptized by her daddy!! We had talked about it some after church camp and she decided that she was ready!  Since the baptistery was blocked because of VBS we decided that we would do it at camp where the decision was first stirred up.  So despite the rain and rushing waters of the bridge we headed to Hidden Haven.  Some of our family and some of our church family came out to witness the special day!  Addie is a new believer in Christ and has made that important decision to follow and obey the Lord!! Hallelujah

Celebration Slide

4-H 2013 Addie's 3rd year

Addie has once again gotten a grand champion in photography.  Thanks to me, just saying. I have told her all her shots to take on her grands!!  Ha Ha  This year it was this pic.  Macie with her cowgirl hat in a wheat field. It turned out pretty sweet. 

 And we still did dog showmanship and obedience with our new pup, Case. He did really good for only being 9 months.  She got a reserved champion in showmanship and  a white in obedience.

Good job Addie!!!
