And so it begins!

His smile will never be the same! He's growing up! The one next to it is also loose, so he may be soon singing..."all i want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth"!

It's been a busy fall with the kids being back in school. Although 2 are gone until 3:30 everyday, it still feels like the day flies by and I still don't get much done. The kids are loving school though and just in a month, have already learned so much! Lilly can write her first AND last name without looking and loves drawing and coloring and cutting now, which is a huge step for her. Hayden is reading a lot quicker now, doesn't have to sound out every word, loves cub scouts, and has already earned a few badges. Caleb is a big 3 year old, which he can show you on his fingers. He loves getting more attention now that the older 2 are gone to school, is learning his letters and now points them out everywhere he goes. Grace loves following Caleb around, body slamming us while we are all settling down at night attempting to read books, can now figure out how to climb up onto the kitchen table and counter top and is saying more and more each day.

Here are some pictures from the past few weeks:

Happy 3rd b-day Caleb

I love Lilly's intense look willing Caleb to blow out the candles

A couple of weekends ago, we had our annual apple sauce making weekend and headed up to pick apples

Our big helper

YUM!

We got 8 FULL boxes of apples!!! We had our work cut out for us.

There were plenty of apples to pick! I was really bad about taking pictures this weekend. Colleen and Ryan were there to make apple sauce with us. It was a great time, and as usual, Auntie Colleen and Uncle Ryan were fun for hours of entertainment for the kids!!

Last weekend, Hayden had a cub scout day camp that he went to with Mark. He loved it and got to do a lot of different things. Here he is disc golfing.

Betting a WOLF!

Learning about bears and bear safety

Archery

He said he also went fishing and learned how to shoot a bb gun. It was a busy day for him though (and Mark). They left at 7:30, then went straight to his soccer game at 4:00 and then packed up for the football game and headed down to Pullman with Lilly and Hayden to watch the game and got home at 1 a.m!! He said it was a great day though (even if the cougs did coug it!)

Tiger Cub Scout Hayden

It's Hayden's 1st year in Cub Scouts and he is loving it!! He thinks wearing the uniform is great and the idea of earning badges is even better than earning a junior park ranger badge! He is working on their big fund raiser for the year by selling popcorn. We started last Thursday and I think he's been out knocking on doors each day since. If you would be interested in supporting him, let me know and we'll find a way of getting you the popcorn!

Our Coug Kids

Last week at the Coug game, we were having a picnic with our friends. One of them, who is about to have a baby wanted to practice with her new camera on kids and we walked away with some great shots!!! I think we have our Christmas card picture for this year :)
