First Lightening Bug

Carissa caught her first lightening bug all on her own (actually two!). She was very proud.

The Young Photographer

Carissa got ahold of my phone and took some photos at dinner.

Happy Faces

Carissa was showing off some of her happy faces tonight on the deck. 

Walking to the Park

We've been taking some massive walks from our house. Tonight we walked over to campus an them down to Schumann park so Carissa could play.

2011 Licking Rodeo

Last weekend we attended the Licking Rodeo. One of my favorite parts is the Wild Horse Race. Teams of three attempt to saddle and ride a wild horse the length of the arena. You would have to be pretty crazy to participate in this. The winning team got $250 and they pledged to give it towards the Joplin tornado efforts.

Our Little Helper

I was moving the stuff back onto the deck this evening after re-staining it this weekend and Carissa wanted to help. She acted like the pot weighed 50lbs with huffing and grunts.
