School time

I can't believe it's my last year with all the kiddos at the same school! They seem so big now, especially my Carterman. Teague still likes to look nice on the first day of school.

That weekend was the Uno's golf tournament. It was their 11th year and most of the money goes to the cancer wing at St. James. However, they try to donate to different causes every year. This year they very kindly donated to the scholarships for Casey, Kyle, and Alex. There was one hole where they had to bank the golf ball off this board. I believe Chunk bought it later for the store.

Some Thatchers, Boyles, and me.We are lucky to have each other.

We had a very nice visit with Uncle Kevin and Grandma and Grandpa Barsness. These guys love Uncle "Magic" as Kaden dubbed him a long time ago.

This is a cute picture. I'm glad we got one with Dick and Diana. It's been too long!

Two tired puppies. Buster looks so huge next to Willie. Now they are almost the exact same size.

Baby Willie is the cuddliest dog ever. He just loves to be pet, and he loves to give kisses.

Auntie Terri let me take a picture of her! Can you believe it? She loves baby Cooper, and Cooper loves her.

Nice little harvest this year. We waited on the carrots for a long time, and they were so good. I love the potatoes too. We ate those for a week or so.

They love to be outside laying on me.

Kyle got a pretty cool Lord of the Rings set for his birthday! Lucky guy!

Happy 38th Birthday Kyle!

Teague wanted to play flag football this year. It was pretty hilarious! He didn't really know what he was doing, but he enjoyed himself. That's him handing off the ball.

Willie loved when it rained because it made a puddle on the crab sandbox for him to drink out of.

All the Little Guy Football teams got to go shake hands with the Bulldogs at one of their first games. They thought it was pretty awesome to be on the field. Kyle made the picture too!

These are some good kiddos here. We have Colten, Lucas, Karstyn, Colby, Devin, and Carterman. Colby, Lucas, and Karstyn rode up with Kyle and Carter in the cop car. They got some pretty funny looks!

They lay in the weirdest positions and places. It always makes me laugh.

Buster is double jointed I swear. He can basically bend in half.

We bought one bed to see if they would like it. Willie seemed to like it then, but Buster sleeps in it now. We should probably get another one.

They are terrible beggars. Terrible.

Ave was very excited to do our fall art project again. We made a cute little ghoul family with some gourds.

Willie and Buster got their first taste of snow. They loved it!

I love how happy Will looks in this one!

I really hope our trees and plants come back this spring. They are so buried in snow that I'm very worried.

Action photo of Ave and Buster running! This makes me laugh every time I look at it.
