She looks kinda grumpy here...but isn't she still cute?! She was so excited to go and carry his present in with her ;) And as you can see from the picture below, Ole didn't lack in party goers or presents! Nor was he that interested in opening his presents! And one of the presents I gave him he hated...absolutely hated! He even cried! I gave him some jammies (which he likes) and then I gave him this really cute hat...a dressy hat to wear like to church or something...we tried putting it on and he cried and cried and cried...I still haven't seen him wear it to church so he still must not like it! Oops...I'll have to make a note to myself Ole not to buy you anything like that again! haha!
It was a Noah's Ark themed party and Britt did an excellent job planning his party...it was really fun! And her mom, Lynne, did a super job with his cake...check out that creation!
One family picture before Ole got to dig in!
Mmmm...this cake is really good Oma! I think I could get used to eating this stuff!
And as you can see...Natee took full advantage of Ole being busy with his cake to test out one of his new toys! :)
The last event of the summer was Jesse James Days...it's always the weekend after Labor Day and when it finally comes you know that the summer is over :( But we always have a good time going down and partaking in some of the festivities :) This year Natee was in the Kiddie Parade with her cousins...I think she had a good time and I know that she was the cutest little cowgirl around!
Here's the whole crew...waiting for the parade to start...it's kinda nice having the older kids because then you can go and actually watch the parade and not have to walk it yourself! And if any of you don't know what Mutton Bustin is...just ask my nephew Logan...he was a mutton buster this year at the rodeo and he walked away with a shiny belt buckle to prove it...way to go Logan! (Mutton Bustin is where they ride sheep...they hold on as long as they can...it's one of the best things and cutest things to watch at a rodeo) :)
I love it...Carter looks like he is so bored and Natee looks like she is having the time of her life! :)
And the best part?!? At the end you get a messy push up ice cream treat...yummy!!
Grandma and Grandpa even came down to watch!
And of course...it wouldn't be the Defeat of Jesse James Days without the big parade on Sunday...this is probably my favorite event of the weekend...I know some people can't stand parades but I've always liked them :)
Okay...now you are caught up on our summer...it's time for fall! haha! Actually this fall has been so busy but I don't have many pictures from it. Natee did not go trick-or-treating this year...when it came right down to it we both were like...nah...maybe next year. She was just going to wear her cowgirl stuff again anyway...and she had just as much fun staying home...picking out one treat from our candy bucket (a sucker!) and answering the door with mom...she loved seeing the kids out in all their costumes...and I was very surprised and happy to see that there were really no scary looking costumes this year! I hate those things! Anyway...hope you all have a great weekend!
