Flavor of the month - Diego!

Wyatt goes through phases of tv show characters he likes. We started out with Bob the Builder, Sesame Street was very popular this summer, and now we are onto Diego! I think it helps that Derek gets excited too when Diego come on, they both try to sing the intro song. Here is Wyatt watching the beginning, he is so excited!

Weekend fun!

Last weekend was VERY BUSY for us! We had the Holt County Autumn Festival activities (I was working all day there.) My Mom and Dad came up to watch Wyatt on Saturday so Derek could work (someting about getting ready for harvest and moving cattle). These pictures are backwards in chronological order, I don't know why Blogger does this now.

On Sunday, there was a Family Festival at the North Andrew school put on by a local church. We went and ate and rode a pony and jumped in a bouncey house. Derek and Wyatt liked the playground equipment at the school.

Wyatt rode on the FFA float for a bit during the parade. He thought he was big stuff hanging out with all of those High School kids!

Ma and Wyatt got out a bubble machine he got for his birthday (Thanks Schweiser's!)

On Friday, school let out early in Oregon for the Fair, but we headed across to Bolckow for the North Andrew Homecoming parade. Wyatt thought the fire truck was "youd" (loud).

The purpose of our presence at the North Andrew Homecoming parade was to support our cousin Clayton Townsend. He was up for Homecoming King (and won!) and a integral part of the Cardinals football team (who won too!) You can also see Aunt LouAnn in the background in the red shirt - Hi Lou!

Summer's over

Last weekend was Labor Day and the unofficial end of summer (mine is officially when school starts). I don't have many pictures from the last couple weeks, we have been busy with starting back to school and me dealing with turning 30. We did celebrate with a good old-fashioned driveway party but there is no photographic evidence, sorry. Derek also took me out to eat at Fogo de Chao on the KC Plaza, it was delicious and filling (snaps for Derek!) Now that all that is behind us, we can get back to a semi-normal life. I did dig these pictures up for your viewing pleasure!

Helping make the bed, well more like unmake it!

Wyatt and Don Callow playing in the sand. We attended Callow bash at Big Lake again this year. This is the only picture I took; but we did get to see Jessica and Wes Uhlmeyer and Sweet Baby Ethan!!! He is so cute and hairy and a great addition to their family.

The big summer project that started a month late, new corrals and fences on the farm! We have traced the age of the previous fences to at least the late 1940's. Those have all been torn out and pipe fences put in with a new waterer for cattle and dogs and 2-year olds!

Woodie the dog enjoying some fresh water!

Parenting experts tell you to give your child "chores" to do to make them feel like a worthy part of the family. This is not hard for me to do with Wyatt, he ALWAYS wants to help! Here he is helping load his laundry. He also like to unload the dryer, carry empty buckets back to the barn, and feed the cats. And for 2, he does a great job!

Do you like our laundry audience? That is Tapioca and Cocoa, our backdoor cats. They are almost always sitting in the window watching us and waiting for some food (from the hand of Wyatt)
