1st Day of School

Sam's 1st Day of Kindergarten! He loves it!

Ethan's 1st Day of Pre-school - back at the same school again this year.

3rd Annual Tire Tater Contest

I know you have all been waiting for more pics! The day is finally here!

Today we won the coveted "Golden Masher" (and Bumble Spud, for Transformer lovers). I know I know, you wish you had. How did we do it, you ask? Well a lot of hard work, dedication, and tires. Right, tires.

Each year, we plant potatoes in a tire. As it grows, we add more tires. And more tires. Then, at the end of the season, we dig through the dirt from the tires and pull out all the potatoes that grew. Phew, hard work. The boys LOVE this part. Boys and dirt go together well! We weigh them all and the family with the most weight wins! That was us!!

Mom and Ron had a great pile too!

Here they are!

Mason was cute, as usual!

Now, to add to the excitement, we also took the prize for biggest potato! What a year!
