I'm Kinda Getting Tired of Being So Far Behind!

Day 234 Okanogan Middle School
Today was locker/schedule pick up day for the middle school. Dylan didn't want to pose for a picture next to his locker....can't imagine why not!

Day 235 Okanogan Middle School
Dylan is playing middle school football this year. He gave up a season of soccer to try football! He thinks he's going to enjoy the sport but he was very nervous at his first practice.

Day 236 Home
Yep - our couch is on our back porch! If it weren't so tacky, I think I'd leave it! It's such a comfortable place to relax in the mornings and in the evenings. Unfortunately, as soon as the weather changes we'll be hauling the couch to the dump. There are so many rips and tears that no one wants it.

Day 237 Ag Tech
Aww....Fred! Today was bath day for the fair pigs. They didn't particularly enjoy the baths but I think they liked feeling clean! Fred immediately went into his bed and laid down between his brothers, who proceeded to sniff at him for several minutes. It was so cute!

Day 238 Home
Dylan's enjoying his new sport! Tonight he was out with Steve, practicing his catching skills.

Day 239 Free Bird Espresso
My favorite drive through espresso stop! And I couldn't resist the sign!

Day 240 Home
First day of school! I got the kids' pictures and Steve posed for me, too! Isn't he handsome??

Day 241 Home
Mike gave Lucy a new ball. She loves her toys! Usually she buries them but this one must have been special because she brought it in and let us toss it to her!

Day 243 Home
Lyndsi got reading glasses this summer. She's had trouble with headaches for a couple of years now. Her vision is pretty good but the doctor suggested some over the counter readers for the headaches. Lyndsi is faithful about putting them on to read so we'll see if they help during the school day.



Day 244 Red Robin, Wenatchee, WA
Jenna, Erin, and Karen Radke invited Lyndsi and I to go to see the new One Direction movie in Wenatchee. We had a fun day at lunch and then at the show.

Day 245 Home
Here is the beginning of Dylan's fair poster. As part of entering a pig in the fair, he also has to create an educational poster. He chose to research different market hogs and create his poster using the information he found.

I Have a Few Minutes.....

Day 229 Omak
Dylan ran the Warrior Stampede obstacle race in Omak this year. He's been building up the nerve for a couple of years but this is the first time he actually signed up. The race begins in Omak Eastside Park with several obstacles, continues across the river into Omak where more obstacles await, down the Suicide Hill, into the river, and across back into the Stampede Arena to finish off with mud and fire. What a race! This is Dylan at the end. It only took him 33 minutes to complete the 3+ miles! Lyndsi and Jenna ran the junior race and rinsed off before I could get a picture of them.

Day 230 Home
This is the cleanest Lyndsi's room has been in months! We still have a bit to go but we're so close! It only took about4 hours.....

Day 231 Home
Look! It's Si Robertson! Just kidding! Dylan bought this beard at WalMart, donned his camo, and grabbed a jug of "tea" to look like his favorite TV character from Duck Dynasty.

Day 232 Ag Tech, Okanogan
Fred's getting a special extra feeding these days. We want him to be heavy enough to take to fair and right now, he's not! He thinks he's a pretty special piggy to get this dish of food while his pen mates look on!

Day 233 Home
We found a dancing zebra while out shopping. Had to buy it for Steve for his classroom! The kids insisted!
