First day of kindergarten! This day could not come soon enough for this very eager five year old.
She did not want Zac and I to walk her in at all, but we did anyways. They were doing major construction to the school and her classroom wasn't quite finished yet so they had class in the library for a few months. She loved it.
One of the kids' catches from the nearby pond.

Gail Halvorsen (the Candy Bomber)
The Taylors gave us a horse! Esther, cute old lady, was our for six days until she met the end of her days (she was very old). But we loved every minute of it. My favorite memory was telling the girls in the van that we were getting her. The squeals should've made our car windows shatter.
The Taylors also employ us to help with their petting zoo. I take a kid each time and they absolutely love it. This was a bunny zoo with Rachel.
Greenhouse cucumbers
A super good deal on shoes and socks from Payless.
I honestly don't know what this is a picture of but maybe it'll make sense when this is printed and I can see it up close.
