Last week, Mark and Angie were nice enough to help us put Jay's trampoline together. AS you can see, it is a HIT! Not only for the kids, but to myself too. Jay and I can often be found, jumping around.
A week ago, we celebrated, Jack's 1st birthday. The theme was cowboy. Jack was happy as could be and had a great celebration. Jill and Phil put on a great party.
A week ago, Uncle Mark brought a track hoe home and helped us, clean out some ditches. Of course this was MAJOR to Jay and Tyler. They seem to have so much fun together, as long as there is dirt involved!
Mom, dad and Dragon posing before the big walk through. This weekend was a trick or treat night at the Mark Twain Lake campground. This is a yearly event that grandma and papa happened to run upon last year. Scott and I decided to see what all the excitement was about. It was so neat, campers from all over, deck out their sites in full Halloween decor. There are prizes awarded, and so many fun things to see. We also got some great costume ideas...
Grandma Chris and Papa Ron, ready for the excitement. Our little dragon was pumped, but not near as much as Grandma. She ran through the parking lot, and the first few sites, to get as much in as possible.
An entrance to one site. Jay needed daddy right by his side.
The 1st place site. They had a good 20 feet lined with dead animal bones. All to take you to a table full of candy! Jay was a little leery at first, but later in the evening warmed up, and enjoyed all the "PRETEND" things. Jay needed to be reminded often that all of the scary parts were pretend. One site even had a big screen out playing Ghostbusters, and a BBQ pit, grilling hand sandwiches. It was amazing the amount of time and work put into a campsite to make it such a festive experience.
Saturday night while trick or treating, Jay informed us that he wanted his training wheels off. This has been attempted before only to last a mere 5 minutes. Sunday was different. Jay was very determined, and after numerous tries, he did it!!!!!
A break from bike riding. The hogs here, love pears! More on this later...
Jay riding on his own, and without training wheels! What a big boy! He seems to be getting bigger every day. Where did my baby go? I have a feeling I will be having that thought cross my mind more and more often.
Time to blog. This evening while Scott and Jay, are checking fence for the newly moved cattle, I came in to make Tater Tot Casserole. and BLOG! While playing catch up, I couldn't pass up my latest pic. As we pulled in today, I saw a crazy sight. Dickmeyer's hogs got out, and were dining on pears underneath our pear tree. They not only had pears, they enjoyed themselves some dog food, wild bird seed, and tomatoes from the garden. Jay was a huge help and went inside to keep the dogs, while I attempted to coral some hogs. My failed attempts, only got one back to her pen. Thank goodness for the neighbors. The women of the household came down and helped me get the other 8 in. What an afternoon.
