{Ty's Birthday/ Labor Day Weekend}

Labor Day weekend we found ourselves loading

up the van and heading to Pinto to meet up

with other members of Tylers family.

 We started the weekend off by celebrating

Tylers 29th Birthday!

Doesn't he look so happy to be turning 29!!

His cake took a beating during

the drive up to Pinto so it didn't look real great

BUT...it sure tasted fabulous!! It was my first attempt

at making a cake from scratch and I'm glad it

turned out or else i would have never heard

the end of it!

 Biking "stuff" was at the top of his birthday wish list,

and biking stuff he got!



 The great thing about Pinto is that it's a place

you can relax, enjoy the outdoors, go

on adventures, play with family, gather up

wild turkey feathers and stick them in your pants,

wear Great Grandpa Ence's hats, play in the sand/dirt,

sit and do word searches, go on four wheeler rides,

collect acorns, feed the cows and horses, go

on tractor rides, and the list could go on and on!



 Boys will be boys with their parents toys!!!

(Hopefully someday we'll have some of our own!)

This is Tyler's happy place!

There is a little reservoir about 5 minutes away

from the cabin. We had a great day

out on the water thanks to Aunt Amy and Uncle Rob

for bringing their boat. Trey experience tubing for

the first time and Addie experience tubing solo

for the first time. They loved it! And  Tyler and

I even got some wake boarding in! Its been a while since

either of us had done it but it

was just like riding a bike...you don't forget!

 And last but not least the long awaited

tractor ride with Daddy. Addie and Trey

just can't get enough of the tractor. They

love to sit up there next to Daddy and go

for rides around the cabin and out in the pastures!

We had such a great weekend!

I'd consider it a Labor Day weekend

well spent!!
