Back to School

Riley and Connor are back in school. Riley started 4th grade and Connor started 2nd grade. So far they are enjoying it, but they do not like the new bedtime. They were enjoying their late nights during the summer. They both have really fun and energetic teachers. They are growing up way too fast.

Trying New Things

We are lucky this year to be able to try some new things. We planted corn for the very first time and so far it is doing really well. The rains flooded it a couple times this spring and summer, but it still grew up nice and tall as the pictures show. The kids want to run through it, but they just might get lost. The picture with Wyatt in it gives you a good idea how tall it is. We are excited to see how the yields turn out. The other thing we are trying is forage beans to make silage bales out of. That is the stuff the three kids are all standing together in. It grows like crazy. We are going to try cutting some within the next week if we can find a few dry days in a row. We are having lots of fun here and wish everyone could experience it with us.

Fishing With Daddy

Megan and Riley had a great time fishing with Wyatt. Megan loved to reel the fishing pole in especially if it had a fish on the line. She was pretty proud of herself. It is fun to see the boys getting older. Riley was able to catch and release his fish all on his own. At one point he jumped in the pond and tried to catch his cousin's catfish that got off the line before he could get it all the way in. As you can see he just got really muddy instead. They had a great morning fishing.
