September and October 2015

 Jacob turned 5 years old on October 13, 2015.  He loves Paw Patrol and John Deere tractors, of course.  We had a very small get together with a few of his friends, and spent a day at Sea World to celebrate.  It is hard to believe that he will be in Kindergarten next August.  Aiden is growing like a weed, and all three of the kids had a blast dressing up for Halloween.

 

Halloween was quite toasty compared to last year!  Within an hour, the kids were stripped down and soaking wet with sweat in the Florida heat.  They had a great time, and they looked adorable!  They dressed up as pirates for a Halloween party earlier in the week.  On Halloween, they dressed as Glynda, a mummy, and a mailman.

August 2015

 In August, Aiden traveled on his first airplane.  He slept almost the entire flight, which I was thankful for because I was traveling to North Dakota on my own with the three kids.  Nathan began his training in Las Vegas for Allegiant airlines.  The kids love North Dakota in the summer time for many reasons, but they especially love making hay with Papa on the big green tractor.  Addison also started 3rd grade and Jacob had his first day of VPK!

Jake is amazed by Papa's big machines

He would try to drive the tractor all by himself if Papa would let him.

He even helped clean up the baler before it was put into storage.

Snuggling with Papa

Jake might be a little jealous.  He is not used to sharing his buddy (Papa) when we visit.

The cousins had a fun pirate photo shoot with Nana and Papa.
