Hayride

Yesterday one of the families from Alex's Cub Scout den invited all the scouts and their families to their family farm. We were taken on a wagon ride through the fields, had a fire with hotdogs and smores and played games. While on the wagon ride, we stopped by the stream and the kids walked through the water. Jordyn wanted to know why the cows weren't talking back to her when she said "hi" to them. It was nice to just get away and not worry about the basement for a few hours and spend family time together.

Chicago

Here are some pics from when Alex went to Chicago. He got to ride the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier with Brian.

They also went to the Lincoln Zoo.

Jordyn's First Day of School

Here is a picture of Jordyn and her first day of school. Other picture is of Jordyn and her cousin, Zach. I had a pretty little outfit picked out for her, but she was very adamant that she was going to wear her Twins shirt. So much for being a little girl:)

Time for school

Alex started school on Tuesday. It was a milestone for him as he changed schools this year. He is now at the Intermediate School in Mantorville. It is hard to believe that he is already in 5th grade!! He seems to like it and is adjusting to taking different buses to and from school and such. Now he has to really make sure he doesn't miss the bus as he isn't close enough to walk to school anymore.

Now that Alex isn't at the Elementary School anymore, Jordyn is. She is starting Preschool on Monday. She thinks it is pretty cool that she is going to "Brother's School". Last night we took her to meet her teacher, Mrs. Sara. She has a teachers helper, Mrs. Lisa. Jordyn wasn't too sure about school when we first got there, but she quickly found all the fun toys to play with. Now, we will just see how the first day goes.
