Dylan like to dress up, even in Uncle Jeremy's old suit. He owns two suits himself. For a while he would wear them around the house, now it's usually just to church.

A pick and a grin! Marissa smiles for the camera!

They really do love each other! Kim took these last fall at her house. You never know what they are going to do.

Dylan's first day of preschool! He has grown up so fast. We went to Kindergarten round up last week. I know he is ready to go but I'm not quite sure I'm ready to send him!

Down he goes!

Dylan gets ready to ride at the Bethel Sheep Fest. This was his second year of riding so he is a little bit more experienced now.

The Flood of 2008. This is Schwanke's bottom during one of the three times it flooded last summer. The kids couldn't get over how much water was there. Any time we were at the farm they would want to go see the water. We hope for a better year this year!

You can't go to the fair and not eat a corn dog! This seems to be a treat for everyone!

Eating corn on the cob at the State Fair. She is such a lady!

Missouri State Fair 2008!

Dylan got to meet Ronald McDonald.

What's this?!!

Dad shows them how it's done!

Did we get one? Our 1st camping trip at Mark Twain Lake with the Wiley's and Twellman's.

Shelby County Fair 2008

Marissa's 1st birthday

Indians!

Cowboys and......

Daddy's Girl

Our sweet ball of fire! Marissa can be such a drama queen. We had no clue what we were getting into when we brought home our little girl!

Proud big brother! Dylan was born February 12, 2004. Marissa was born January 26, 2006. So they are just a few weeks of being exactly 2 years apart. They do get along well, but we all have our moments!

Born to ride! Dylan has always wanted to be a cowboy, fire-fighting pirate! These days he is a clone trooper with a guitar. He does have an imagination!!

Just like dad!

Another birthday picture

I'm trying to get caught up with the the blog. So I thought I would throw in some pics. from the beginning. This was Dylan's 1st birthday! He is quite the comic!
