Fall News

Happy Fall to all of you!  We're expecting our first snow flakes on Friday--the boys are so excited!  The mountains are already covered in white.  I've got bulbs to plant and grass seed to spread around our ghetto lawn before the snow flies.  I think most of us down here are bracing ourselves for winter after the crazy flooding and rain we've had...hopefully Mother Nature will be kind.  Anyways, on to the week's news:

The boys spent most of the weekend with a stomach bug...the kind that strikes in the middle of the night and is really icky and messy.  Here they're having a pedialyte party with books and buckets. They are much better today.

 Morgan's class spent the afternoon playing on this pile of dirt at preschool.  He loved this!

 Jacoby on pioneer day at school.  First grade is going so well. Parent-Teacher conferences are next week.  

 Aunt Kenzie went home today...sniff.  The boys declared that she should stay forever...I agree.  She watched the boys for us last night so Justin and I could attend a parent workshop on gender differences in learning.  It was very informative and we came home with several good tips for homework time, etc.

 Boys playing tether ball

 It's no secret--Jacoby can pretty much take his mom down during any wrestling match these days.  (:

 This boy...creative, fiercely independent, and silly

I ran my own half marathon on Saturday.  The race got postponed until next fall, but I decided to go out and run it since I'd put in the time to train all summer.  It was a great run and I'm so glad I did it.  But I'm even more excited that Jacoby ran three miles today as part of the 100-mile club at his school!  So proud of him!

Justin and I get a weekend away later this month!  We're really excited to spend a weekend in Pasadena, visiting some old friends and some of our favorite places.  Grandmanette and Grandpa Michael are graciously taking care of the boys for us.  That's about it from our neck of the woods.  Hope you all are having a great week!
