Almost two months, seriously?

Okay, so I TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY fell off of the blogging bandwagon when school started. I am not sure exactly why, but for some reason this fall has rocked my world. Seriously, I feel like my head is spinning. I will go into my theories on why this is later, but without further ado here is a photo summary of the past two months....

Owen started 2nd Grade! He has two fabulous teachers who job-share...Mrs. BrumbleMrs. Riemer

Kate started preschool...she was SO happy!
Owen turned 8!
He got his first BB gun. Are we crazy?
We had a Mommy/Daddy/Boys date watching Star Wars on the lawn....
And of course, he had a Star Wars birthday party.
Gracie remains spunky and funny as ever....
Davis started kindergarten!
Here he is with his teacher, Mr. Courtney. Yay for a male teacher. Davis thinks the world of him.

Red day at Tinkerbell preschool...Soccer was here again. Something really has clicked for Owen and he is suddenly super aggressive, which is fun to watch on the soccer field (not so fun when he and Davis are wrestling).
Davis was a machine this season. Sometimes I am pretty sure he was playing rugby and not soccer. Thank goodness he can move out of kinder-soccer in the Spring...he is so ready and excited to play at the next level.
Owen started cub scouts. I think he is adorable in his uniform. I am sure he would be mortified that I am saying this. He spent a few hours for 4 Saturdays selling popcorn in front of local stores to help earn money for his pack.

Owen was baptized. This really should be a post all of it's own. It was a great experience for him with so many friends who came to show their support and Grandma Nila, Nana, and Papa all here. It was the perfect day.


I am so proud of the boy that Owen is. He has such a strong desire to be good.

Jed was able to go out hunting and backpacking with friends. Oh how he loves the outdoors.
Rainbow day at the preschool...this girl sure gets into the themes!
And finally the school had it's Run-Walk fundraiser. Davis ran the most laps in his class (7--almost 2 miles), so of course Owen had to do the same (he ran 9). Way to go boys!



Whew! There you have our September and October in a nutshell.
