September happenings

Just some pics of our kids hanging around the house.

 The only canning I may get to this year. Sad. Sigh.

 Five Mile Prairie Days.

 

 

Because you know, sitting on a chair, on a chair is the cool way to eat your lunch.

Cupcake love

Kinley has replaced Cooper as our resident garbage disposal. She will eat anyone's food, if you get up from the table. She'll slide over to your spot and eat your food. Today, it was one of the other kids' cupcake.

Future member of the Piano Guys

Jeff usually watches some fun videos with the boys before tucking them into bed each night. Mason and Cooper often want to watch one of the videos from the Piano Guys. Mason has decided to follow in the footsteps of the Piano Guys by playing the Cello. It is so wonderful that our school district allows the elementary kids to begin playing an instrument in fourth grade. 

If you are unfamiliar withe the Piano Guys, watch this video bellow:

Father-Daughter Campout

Shiloh has been talking about this since at least May when the boys went on the father-son campout. We really should learn our lesson by now. Don't tell the preschooler what is going on until right before you leave. They have no concept of time and as a result will ask you every. single. day. if it is the day of the blessed event. The long-awaited time finally came this last Friday night.

 This guy above is one awesome dad and this girl below is one lucky girl for having such a cool dad. Even though it was only one night, Shiloh was on cloud nine when she got back. You would have thought she was gone for a week and got to do the most amazing things. Okay, well she did get to do some cool stuff. Hang out with her dad, shoot a paintball gun, explore in the woods, go potty in an outhouse, eat dirt. You get the idea.

Kinley well child check-up

Kinley had a well child check up today. She is doing really well, meeting all her physical, emotional, social, and mental development. Here are her stats for this visit: 

Weight: 29 lbs (80%)

Height 35.2 in (83%)

First Day of School

 Oh where or where has the time gone!

 This big guy is in fourth grade. His teacher is Mrs. Pryor and his best friend Brennen is in his class this year. Mason is really excited about that.

 This sweet kid is in second grade. His teacher is Mrs. VanderMeer. He also has a few friends in his class, Tyler and Alex.

 Are the girls sad to see them go? or happy to have seven hours alone with mom?

 These swings are the girls favorite thing on the playground at the school.
