Two Wheelin'

BE SURE TO CLICK ON THE VIDEO CLIP BELOW!
The Mighty 2 Wheeler... Thayne has been on the verge of riding without his training wheels for over a year. But every time we would take them off he would stop riding his bike altogether. The training wheels would seldom even touch ground. Well, tonight he made the big move. Goodbye training wheels, Hello Speed.

Kayleb Loves his teacher, Mme. Stier. Kirby is still one of his best buds.

Thayne and Tripp LOVE their "Pre-School". Their "teacher" Krista is super fun. I am planning on taking them in 2 times a week but I think that Thayne might be sad about that. He is choping at the bit every morning for us to get out the door.

GYM TIME
There are some really awsome BIG BIKES to ride at gym time.
Snack Time. They provide a yummy snack, but Thayne insists on packing a big lunch too.
So many fun toys to play with...
Thayne loves to paint. Today he made a cute picture of a bear for grandpa Schumann.
Tripp loves Preschool because there are GREAT SNACKS!

Exercise
Lastnight for Family Night we all went on a bike ride down the road to see the cows at the feedlot. The boys had so much fun. Now that is all they can talk about.

Lastnight we had a SURPRISE Guest. Brother Mecham came and helped us get our dry wall Hung. Yippee! Now this weekend we can Tape and Mud.

I Caught My Rainbow!

Today was Kayleb`s 1st day or 2nd Grade. The most exciting part was the BUS. We get to catch at the end of our driveway. No more loading eveyone up in the van and wating by the highway. YAY!!!!!!!

After MANY weeks of getting ready we FINALLY got started on the Drywall in the kitchen. I will post a picture of it when we get it all up. EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!

I was walking home from Mom`s house the other day and a B-E-A-UTIFAL Rainbow was above our Barn. It looked Amazing, but by the time I ran home and got the camera the clouds had moved and the rainbow was gone. :(

The other day while Luke and I were working in the kitchen the 3 boys were watching a movie in our room with teh doors shut to contain Tripp. The next thing they knew Tripp had fallen asleep under the bed.

The boys LOVE to ride their Bikes and play "Bike Warriors" Notice the guns and swords down the backs of their shirts.

We made this cute sign post in RS. I changed mine to incorporate a cute flag. I like the way it turned out. Please don't look at the long grass growing around my currant bushes. :)
PS Luanna, the measurements of the flag are: 18"X24"

Holy Stink I am 30!

Apple Sauce

So the weather has been so CRAZY that we are concerned that our Apples might feeze to mush any night now so we put the 3 little boys to work. They LOVED being big stuff and climbing the ladders to fill their buckets.
