Celebrating a great week at school with a playground trip after picking these two handsome boys up!

New math

Common Core, baby!  4 + creature = 4

Training....

Training wheels are gone for Colton, and Maddox is just big enough for the tow behind trainer!  First family ride without training wheels was a success!

Hunting preparation

Maddox helping dad to site in his bow!

Family bike ride

No training wheels for Colton, bike trainer for Maddox!

Rope swing!

Lake house had a rope swing install in August. Colton loves the rope swing and he was really flying high. He'd swing all day if you'd let him!

Maddox Glenn is adorable

More first day of school

Colton 1st grade @ Desales.
Maddox pre-k @ Medina.

Mimi mobile selfie!

On the way to see miss Elizabeth!

First Bike ride!

It must have been the lovely lady Loralei he was showing off for or her sweet pink bike!

Colton picked her bike and without attempting bike riding without training wheels prior road it around like a master!   Came home and road there too!

Let's just hope he forgets my previous bribe - a dirt bike if he tries riding - and this doesn't lead to motorcycle gangs!

Nice riding Colton D!

Hi Elissa!

 

I wrote a note back to you but forgot to give it to Colton before he left today!  Thank you so much for sending that in- it made my day!  We have had a great week.   Colton is such a good boy; I can tell that he is really going to shine this year.  He was blowing me out of the water with his math skills today!  I hope you and your family have a great weekend.
