We've had really great weather this fall up until the end of October- the kids have enjoyed it. One windy evening Ethan decided to use grocery bags for kites ( a little on the ghetto side!- we can afford kites- I promise!) Of course they had to include the neighbor kids in the fun and they were entertained for quite a while. Although I need to apologize to the other neighbors for the few bags that got away and landed in their trees!

In September, Owen turned 2, Not a big deal- he started the terrible twos at 11 months and hasn't eased up. He has a love of trains and loves to say whoo, whoo with his arm in the air and also "all aboard". Pretty cute. He keeps us going from 6 in the morning till we can't take it anymore and we put him to bed!;)

Whoo! Whoo!

Ethan had his 6th grade rocket launch- went so well that he had to scale the fence to retrieve it! My brother Scott was able to come only because Ben and him were headed to the smashing pumpkins concert- again. I think that makes 4 times?!!!

Ethan also ran for student council and made it! He was soooo excited!

UEA weekend Ethan went camping with the scouts so we decide to do a little bit of outdoor fun ourselves- we headed up the canyon to roast hotdogs and marshmallows. Although Owen was a little too excited about the fire and kept stepping in the river while he was throwing rocks. We had a great time!
