Brother & Sister duo summer '09


Tyler & Cassie have had a blast hanging out together this summer. From swimming at the local Y together, showing their summer calves and walking them together, to

riding bikes, playing farmers with ol' John Deere tractors to coloring. The siblings just have got along...well for the most part...this summer. Which really has warmed my heart and made for an enjoyable summer.

Illinois State Fair '09

After a busy summer full of WORK, it was nice to have a day of pure enjoyment at the Illinois State Fair. Maybe it does get easier with age, the Jersey kids were very well behaved and had bunches of fun reuniting with ol' friends--as we did--and playin' like it was there backyard. LOVE it!
Tyler & Cassie wait in line for another game at the state fair.
Ty & his ol' buddy Lane, who has lost a few teeth since we saw him last!
The Jersey trio head for a wagon ride in the dairy barns!
Tyler breaks to help Brian milk the cows, which by the way, were told to be his highlight! Well, other than seeing Lane and enjoying ice-cream, but "it stacked right up to the top of my favorite things about the fair," he happily reported!
Cassie...fashionably cute, as always!

...with her buddy, a family friend, Miss. Megan at the state fair!

Doctor, Doctor

Cassie n' art

Cassie is enjoying pre-school and loves art! Today, she came home with a "triangle hat" and wore it the rest of the day. LOVE her excitement for school and art. Warms my heart!
LOVE the brown eyes, round cheeks, but could do away with her pouty lip that she thinks will make me 'cave in'. Okay, I have been known to cave in occasionally with that look!

Farm Girl '09

Cassie Ann is a girly girl, yes, she loves to dress up and is always fashionably cute, but she can get dirty too! She loves to help out at the farm and as long as she has her milk boots on, this Jersey mama doesn't care if her clothes get dirty. She and the clothes wash-up just fine! Of course, the hired help love her and her daddy, well she has got him wrapped around his lil' finger! He adores and adores her wanting to help out!

Cassie & Scott look at the Jersey heifers while they eat their grain!

Oh the life of a Jersey woman!

Cassie LOVE to help out with the baby calves!
