Oh Happy Girl

Cassie has a million different expressions. When the girls at day-care describe Cassie Ann, they say it too. She has so many looks. I thought these pictures capture this point. Tyler looks about the same in every picture...yet Cassie has a different look for each one.

Cheese!
Really Cheese! (She is not crying)
I am a happy girl!

And he's off...already?

Tyler started preschool last week. I didn't realize how hard it would be on MOM! Truthfully, it's really hard to watch 'em grow up. Tyler did great. The best part for him, hands down, was riding the school bus. And...like his mama when she was little, he gets to be the first one picked up in the morning and the last stop in the afternoon. "I get to ride it a long time," he happily reports.

Tyler & corn chopping

Tyler's highlight at the farm is chopping corn. I shouldn't be surprised. Like father, like son. He would wake up when the sun wasn't even up and say "I go with dad to chop corn" and the boys would put their chore clothes on, pack some snacks & drinks and head off to the farm. All the Bohnert men sported smiles during corn chopping season. Maybe it's because the yields are awesome...but I have to think the youngest Bohnert man tagging along was another reason everyone was smiling!

AND...no hurt feelings, Ty rode with everyone. He took turns. AND...if he had a choice...run the chopper with dad or haul wagons with uncle Eric, well...sorry, dad...but Eric and the wagons are MUCH COOLER.

Miss. Helper

No worries that Cassie didn't get to join in on the corn chopping. I remind 'em all that next year she will probably want to ride with the guys. For now, Miss. Cassie Ann is content being with the cows...and this outfit cracks me up. Reminds me of my beautiful, hippie sister Mary in her younger days.

Cassie n' pigs

Surprisingly she kept them in all day.
