Gus had his first day of school last Thursday. He was very excited, his favorite thing about school was the school bus...we are documenting this now so that we can show him how cool the school bus is when he is 16! Sammy is in the background, Trista said that before Gus left to get on the bus he was giving long hugs all around, when he left Sammy siged and said; "Gus is my best friend." Talk about bringing a tear to your eye.

Sammy is 37" tall and officially tall enough to ride the go-carts...what a blast we had. The boys steered through the corners like they were born behind the wheel and neither Mom nor Dad let off the gas until it was time to stop.

Gus started soccer this month, so far its been alot of fun. I can't describe how cute it is to see 10 five year olds running around kicking the ball.

Ice fishing sleds make great pools...and they warm up quick too!

Enjoying a great day at the pool. Sam and Brian enjoying the lazy river while Gus rides solo.

The Brown's visited over Joy's first birthday. We had pretty good weather and enjoyed each others company for a few days. We played in the backyard alot and at the recreation area near our home. The kids had fun practicing flips on the trampoline. Joy's birthday was small but nice...I think she has a soft spot in her heart for Uncle Scott.
