Stewartville Fall Festival

Before we headed down to the fall festival, we went to watch Eston's football game. It was a little chilly but it was a lot of fun!

Eston getting ready for the next play

Grandma and Grayson

Asher Lauri and Grayson all had on their Vikings gear.

I hope this isn't a look into the future! :) All the boys got a chance to sit in the back of the squad car. Eston was the only one that posed for me.

This is a better look to the future. I like it much better with them in the front seat of the squad car. (Asher)

Grayson trying on the SWAT team gear -- the vest was super heavy.

Asher also got a turn.

Eston, Elise, Asher, Grayson and Brecken in the big red chair.

Brecken and Lauri posing with "Captain Jack Scarecrow." They made this for the scarecrow contest. I love it!

Raspberries and humming birds

Last weekend we spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa's. It was a beautiful day!

We spent about 2 hours picking raspberries.

Grandpa picking raspberries

We got almost 2 icecream pails full.

Mom's hummingbird feeders were just about emty -- and this is why. there was at least 6 on each feeder all afternoon. They were swarming around like bees. It was pretty cool to see.

1st Day of School 2011

The first day of school this year was pretty exciting. Eston was starting 2nd grade and Asher started Tiger Cubs (pre-k program).

Asher and Grayson wanted a picture of their new "big boy" (tie) shoes. I am sure you are all familiar with Agent P (Perry the Platapus).

All dressed up in their nice clothes for the first day.

Eston walking to the second grade door.

Alex and Eston (best buds)

Eston was so excited to find out that these 3 friends were in his class (Brody, Chase and Cole)

After we dropped Eston and Grayson off, we headed to Central to take Asher to his first day of Tiger Cubs. He was very excited until we walked in the door. He cried a little but had a super fun day.

August 2011

It is hard to believe that I took over 1500 pictures in July and only 130 the entire month of August - things have been so busy! It is also hard to believe that Summer is already over and Eston will be starting school on Tuesday. Anyway, here is a short recap of August.

We headed down to Cherri's for supper and to visit with Eileen (my great aunt from Utah). We took the opportunity to take a picture of all the babies that were born in 2010. Elise, Taylor, Cambell and Brayden.

We got to babysit Cambell on my last Monday off. The boys just love this little guy so much. They ask almost daily when we can babysit again. Eston and Cambell are BUDS!

Eston lost his first top tooth. It was wiggling but wouldn't come out so he went and got a pliers for his dad to pull it out. YUCK!

Asher and Eston are both missing the same tooth

Grayson felt a little left out and wanted to be in the picture. I am glad he did - this is my favorite picture of these guys together!

We babysat Brecken and Elise one Friday night. Elise was in a great mood so I had to take some pics.

Look at that hair - and she is only 1.

She sat with me on the curb and we watched the boys riding bike.

I love how her hair is blowing in the wind.

Asher had to show me his skateboarding skills

Brecken riding his bike - intense!

Grayson roller blading - doesn't look too good for his ankles does it.

The final weekend in July was the annual Ferrie Family Fun Weekend. The weather was GORGEOUS and we has a VERY FUN weekend!!

Always the biggest hit, is the 100 ft water slide. Brecken had a blast this year.

Grayson liked using the tube.

Eston would either go on his knees or backwards. It was hard getting pictures of him because he kept turning around so his back was to me.

Here is a good one - covered in muddy water and grass. FUN

Asher and Grayson went down together a couple of times - they had more fun playing in the mud!

Brecken and Brittan really had a lot of fun together.

Uncle Adam even went down with the boys a few times (Asher)

Jacie took a few turns too (Grayson)

Brecken liked using the blue tube. This method didn't work the best but he still had fun.

After the waterslide was done, it was time to launch some water balloons.

Eston, Boston and Jonathan.

While playing with the boys Tim's foot slipped through his sandle - you had to be there but it was Hilarious!

THANKS MOM AND DAD FOR A SUPER FUN FFFW! WE CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR!

End of T-Ball/Baseball Season 2011

I am a little behind in updating my blog, but here are the final t-ball and baseball pictures of 2011.

I love his form!

It's a hit!

Asher is a little more controlled - or at least he has both feet on the ground.

Eston throwing it back to the pitcher!

Asher and Grayson played against Brecken's team for the last game!

Becky and Cherri even came to the game - THANKS!!!

Eston was wondering around with Uncle Rob's hat on - such a little gangster! :)

Taylor was on Brecken's team so Asher and Grayson both spent some quality time talking with her while they were on the bases. This is Grayson flirting with her - she is such a cutie!
