The boys...

It doesn't happen often, but every once in a while we can get the two of them to sit still TOGETHER for a picture...

Firemen's Rodeo

We headed out to the Wadena Firement's Rodeo last weekend. The Sebeka fire department was represented by the "Kiser" clan... Reg, Quentin, Chris and Dean Haman were the team with Chief Carl standing by... They had to do a series of events - bucket brigade, full dress relay, obstacle course... The winner of each event got money for their fire department and the winner of the whole thing got a lot of cash! It was fun to go and "watch them in action!"

Progressive Supper!

So, after a long time of planning and trying to get everyone together on the same night, we actually had an adult night with all of the siblings and cousins and their spouses! We had a progressive supper, which is rotating to a different house for each course of a meal. It was a lot of fun and we had fun eating, drinking and socializing!

1st Day of Preschool...

Brody had his official first day of preschool today. I made it through without any tears (I know, a miracle for me...) He wanted to ride the bus with his cousins Tyce and Tori, so I followed him to school to be able to take him to his first day of class. He had a lot of fun and wasn't naughty at all, from what he tells me....

Beau "taking off"

Beau has finally started walking! We didn't think that the day would ever come, he is a little stubborn.... He goes like mad now and is doing really well! It's so amazing to watch him finally getting around on 2 feet. At the end of the one video, you get to see a little of his fiestiness when he can't get quite where he wants to go or do what he wants to do...<<

Brody's New Trick

Who knows how he came to learn how to do a cartwheel... God knows that his mother has never been able to do one... He is getting better all the time, here is just one sample of him doing it!

Water Park...

We decided to go for one last big hurrah for the summer, before everyone went back to work and school. We went with Reg and Laura and their boys to the water park in Brainerd. (Did a little school clothes shopping for Brody on the way, man he is growing out of everything!) We all had a blast at the water park and were very tired when we got home!
