Exciting golf results for Carter!

Carter played in the Briarwood Amateur Golf Tournament this weekend.  He had a two day score of 151 and placed 2nd in his flight.  The conditions Day 1 were horrible so he had a great score.

WAY TO GO, CARTER!!! 

His Dad got to be his caddy for both days!  It was rough going for the caddy...Saturday it rained for 14 of the 18 holes and Sunday he injured himself a bit trying to get a ball out of the creek. 
Carter came home to homemade chocolate chip cookies and he was nice enough share one with his little brother. 

Back at school for Carter!

Carter went back to Grand View University this week.  We all went to see his dorm room and take him out to dinner.  The dorm rooms they have now are MUCH NICER than either of us EVER had!  He spent this week with the golf team qualifying for the team.  On Tuesday Carter had his best competitive round of his life a 69 at Otter Creek! Way to go Tiger Joe!

Farmer Chip at the State Fair

We enjoyed a day at the State Fair watching Cousin Craig Alan show his calf.  One of the highlights was going to the "Little Hands on the Farm" with Papa Craig. 

 

Sidney Rodeo

Meet Cowgirl Catie!

Another yearly tradition is to go to the Sidney Rodeo.   The kids had an absolute blast this weekend at the rodeo.  We sure missed Mamaw but it was really fun to have our cousins from Kentucky there.  Cate and Audrey were definite BFFs!  Cate had multiple cowboy hats with hand-me-down shoes from Cousin Emily. 

LOVE these two pictures of Cate with her Daddy and Papa!!!

 At the parade with Uncle Mike and Jesse...of course we had to eat lunch in town at Whips first!

BFF Audrey from Kentucky.  The last time she was in Iowa, Cate was about 18 months and Auds just loved on her like crazy.  This time was no exception, just both a bit older.  Can't believe how those kids grow up...

Lovin' life and lovin' the rodeo...

County Fair

The motto for the State Fair this year is "NOTHING COMPARES!" I must say that is my motto for the Cass County Fair and I really enjoy taking my children back every year for the fair.

 Charlie could be the next John Deere model!  Here is a happy Papa and a happy little guy eating pancakes.

 The sheep were definitely our FAVORITE!

 Cate somehow convinced Papa to take her on the merry go round...I would have never gotten to do that!

OZARKS 2012

OYSTERS!

THE HIGHLIGHT: Papa in a mini-bumper car with Cate! :)

All you can eat pancakes at Mitch and Duffs. 

Trewet boys Jesse, TJ and Tim with "Char Char Binks" 

 Fun on the boat!

 Who is the best driver?

Happy guy...

Hard to believe our little guy is 17 months old already.  He doesn't walk anymore, he runs!  He is very fun and very happy, especially if his mom is holding him, which is usually his preference. We took this picture at the Rodeo Parade.

Summer: We love sweet corn!

 Who doesn't love sweet corn in Iowa?  We sure do!

Pretty good pals...
