Ready to ride

Hunter is doing so well on his run bike that we've been able to get some longer walk/rides in. It's been great for me, the pups, and Grady too. 

All four

We had decent weather for our walk today and all four boys were in a good mood so I snapped a few pictures. I love how they turned out.

Rib Fest

Today we checked out Rib fest with Papa Dave. The boys picked out some blow up hammers from the kids zone and then we hit the ribs! We all really enjoyed them and even brought some home for dinner. 

Hunter and Everly

Hunter and Everly playing at daycare. I adore this picture. Their smiles are so cute!

Crazy kids

Grady and his buddies going for one last dip. The water was freezing!

Biking and hiking

We have been treated to some wonderful Fall weather this week. It's cool in the early morning, but by 10am, it's shorts weather. We've enjoyed some really nice walks in the woods. 

Strong Start

Today Hunter and I visited Strong Start at a nearby school. It's similar to a preschool program but the parents stay and interact with their children (and it's free!). Hunter loved it and tried almost every activity offered. We will definitely return soon. 

One last cabin trip

We are home from our last cabin trip of the summer. It was a quick two nights out there and I only took one picture the whole time! We were sad to leave, and are already looking forward to next year. 

Grade three!

Grady started grade three this week. He was feeling a little nervous about who would be his teacher and classmates. But, it turns out that he really likes his teacher and has already made a new friend!

Driving to school on the first day ... very nervous. 

The second day of school ... feeling quite a bit better. 

Three of a kind

35

Today was my 35th birthday. It was a wonderful day full of special activities. 

 

We started the day with a family bike ride. Hunter pushed his run bike for 2.6km!

We took some photos in the yard under the new pergola. 

Then it was off for lunch and the spa!

Finally, dinner and cake at Grandma and Papa's. It was a perfect day. 

Mini golf date

Grandma Liz and Papa Dave watched Grady while I attended a Pro-D seminar on Thursday. They had a great day of walking at the air park, mini golfing, and ice cream for the grand finale. Grady had so much fun that he was quite disappointed when I came to pick him up!
