mission summer.....accomplished!! :)

This was a big day for Luke!! He got to ride the four wheeler all by himself, this was Luke's summer goal! This is the four wheeler uncle Austin learned to ride on when he was little. 

Greg stuck a Go Pro on his helmet and got a pretty awesome video. :) 

Ethan's Summer Goal, Riding his bike without training wheels. I have to admit besides a little help from Luke & Daddy he pretty much learned to ride on his own. One day he just came out of the garage riding his bike. He's a pro now and we are so proud of our little guy!! 

The kiddos got the chance to go horseback riding at a friends house. They loved it!!! 

The boys are enrolled in swimming lessons, they are doing great. 

Ethan is jumping into four feet of water without any help and Luke is so excited that he gets to jump off the diving board in the next level.

This was the last day of summer Vacation and Ethan's half birthday so we spent the afternoon at the pool. 

Airplane Rides. 

Lauridsen Fountain

We went to the downtown farmers market this past weekend. We parked right next to the Lauridsen Fountain so we let the kiddos run through the fountain. It was so much fun to soak our feet in the warm water and watch them play!

Iowa State Fair

always our favorite, helping hands on the farm.

We went to the fair opening night this year. We had a lot of fun and made lots of memories!! 

The fair always makes me think of "last year at this time." and "the year before" and "the year before that." :) 

back to school shopping

We had fun back to school shopping! With a week to go and two weeks for Ethan I think we're ready. Maybe not my heart yet but we've got the supplies. 

summer fun

fun summer days...went way too fast.
