Book Fair

I worked at the book fair at Sadie's school a few days a few weeks ago. The kids were super good They loved to look at the books, run around in circles when nobody was around, and visit with the kids. Tyler is holding a rock from the display. Whenever we walked in the school he always had to pick up a rock. The theme was a jungle safari.

Spirit Week

Sadie had crazy hair day last week at school. We made it look like her hair was the liquid coming out of the cup.

Snow

This was Saturday Afternoon. The snow started to fall and my kids were so excited to play in it. We didn't have enough snow to play in until Sunday morning.














After church on Sunday my kids ran in the house, changed, and headed right outside. Call us the Sabbath Breakers. We made a little snowman and had a snow ball fight.

I wanted to put pictures of Tyler in a slide show, when he had his birthday, but I was having technical difficulties. I decided that I'd just put some pictures up showing how much he's grown.

Happy 2nd Tyler!

Tyler turned 2 a few weeks ago. After he opened his presents if anyone touched them he said MINE. I guess someone is 2 now. Today Olivia and him were holding hands. These are the moments I enjoy that they are close in age. Tyler loves to sit on my lap when I play the piano. The girls do too but that means I don't get to play they are. But he loves to just sit and listen and watch. He is sitting on my lap right now just watching. He is easy to put to bed, calm for a boy, happiest when he has fruit snacks and his sisters to play with. He always says rock-a-bye when he wants me to rock him and read a book. When Tyler is scared he says oooaaaa (his monkey sound). He got scared once at the zoo by a monkey and since that day he tells me he's scared by making the monkey sound. He loves his grandparents and is a bit nervous around strangers. For his birthday he got some blocks that stack just a little taller then he is. He LOVES to kick them over. We sure do love Tyler and his fun personality.

Sand Dunes

We went to the sand dunes earlier in September. We planned to camp at our normal spot and it was blocked off. We headed to the campsite and they informed us that the owner of the land was trying to sale it so they blocked it off. We always thought it was BLM land. We never camp with hook-ups so it was kinda fun to not worry about using up all the batteries . We used the lights more this one night then we have all summer in the camper. The picture above was taken while we were riding around. Shane's brother Ron is on the left, Derk his son is on the motorcyle and his girlfriend Emily is sitting in the back of the rhino with our kids. Kimberly is standing in the back with the purple shirt. This was Kimberly's first time driving at the Sand Dunes. Emily was brave to ride in the back with a first time driver. The campsite had a play area the kids loved. Tyler had fun putting leaves in Olivia's hair. We can't wait to do this again next year.

September

This was a super fun weekend we had up near Spencer Idaho. We camped with Troy, Mariann, and Tysen Walker. All of us piled into the rhino and went for a ride. We saw some deer and managed to stay warm. September has been an amazingly beautiful month. The wind hasn't blown much and the weather is perfect. This camping trip was a little cool though. It didn't stop us from having fun.
We no longer have a bus in our neighborhood so I have been riding my bike with Sadie to school. Tyler and Olivia love riding behind me in the trailer.
