October 09

I could just call this Ben's month! He started with his birthday party with some friends, Chipotle burritos and a trip to the movie theater to see the new Star Trek.ImageHis actual birthday was a couple days later. (That's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which he really enjoyed.)ImageHe ran in a lot of cross country meets.
ImageAnd he performed in the choir concert with the Sunrise Singers, so-called because they meet during 'zero hour,' aka the hour before school starts. He alternates attending Sunrise and Wind Symphony (his band class) because they are both zero-hour classes.



September 09

September started off with Tim's 9th birthday.
ImageHere's some of the produce from my rabbit-fortress square-foot gardens. (The cereal box is there for size comparison. Those zucchinis are about the size of my thigh!)ImageTim's birthday party came about a week after his birthday, and consisted of an outing with his friends.ImageSoccer season was in full force, with a game every Saturday. Both Tim and Nate played.ImageImageAt the pack meeting, Tim earned his Wolf badge.Image

Utah visit

We did get to visit with Maki's family.ImageAnd we visited the Prices, and toured Kennecott.Image

Yellowstone family reunion

The Wren clan all stayed in a log home that Dad rented. (Unfortunately, Maki and her fam did not make it.) We had a talent night, played games, read, did puzzles and chatted. And we visited so many many cool Yellowstone sights! So just a few random photos in this post...ImageImage

We decided to try square-foot gardening this year. Here are our boxes. Do you love the cage Charles built to keep the rabbits out? It's gonna be quite effective... :)
