School picture fail

School pictures didn't go very well this year.  Henry, who is usually very happy wasn't happy this day.

Blake refused to take a picture so I don't have one of him

AND

James came home with this picture.  I laughed so hard when I saw this.  How can they even send kids home with pictures so terrible???

Thank goodness for retakes!!!

Outstanding Citizenship Award

James won the Optimist Club award for September for the kindergarten grade.  We are very proud of James and how he is off to a great school year!

Deanna Rose Farmstead

My parents treated the kids and I to a fun afternoon at Deanna Rose last weekend.  We missed Todd because he was entertaining some out of town friends for the day.  The boys loved walking around and seeing all of the animals, but I think the highlight was taking the wagon ride!  I can't get enough of these beautiful fall days we've been having!
