Welcome Fall

Hi Friends, with the change in weather comes new discoveries and fun for the girls. Maddy turned 16 months old and is learning so many words and immitating more and more animal sounds, she is soooooooooo cool and Allie is so grown up and taking on new roles and responsibilities. Amazing days hardly gives them justice. Smiles and love to everyone. This is Cashie, one of our family cats, there is always a critter that wants to join in the fun and we love it.

Allie playing in the leaves with Maddy after working hard to rake them all up.

leaf piles are fun for all ages!

Maddy found her first caterpillar, not to be touched though. She watched it crawl for about 10 min.

Allie in action riding Max at the end of her Speed Dash event, she took 3rd place in about 20 riders.

Here is the gang at a horse show Al recently rode in. Allie is showing her Max, her friend Taylor is on her horse Easy. Travis rode Max too, all three kids took many placings and had a great time. JB and Mad Dog are pictured with them.

Maddy and her friend Gracie at the Apple Festival, only 5 weeks age difference! Don't worry Gracie, Mad Dog will take care of you, the N. B. school system can be tough.

The girls at the Apple Festival, this is the highlight, not the most exciting thing we have ever attended but with great people. All the grown up girls and kids met at Almelund, and later some Daddy's showed up too. Allie is the World's Best sister and is always looking after Maddy and finding fun things to do with her.

Hair down for those of you who have only seen the ponies, making for a much more mature look than her 15 month age at picture time.

Mad Dog is ready here for her first bicycle rid with Mom at some friends home in Hinckley. Mad Dog loved the ride and nearly fell asleep in the cart. Note the pony tails out the top of the helmet.

Mom and Dad after a motorcycle ride, it was about 400 miles and took us 131/2 hours. The ride was to benefit and support fallen souldiers and their families.
