September 2010

I know I've skipped July & August, but eventually they'll come.  Turns out we've been busy around here.

We went to the Ripon Balloon Festival, where we enjoyed watching the balloons take off, the boys participated in the fun run, and were amazed by the parachuters coming in to land.  Daniel was awarded his Bobcat at our first Cub Scout Pack Meeting, well our first pack meeting where one of the boys was the scouter, not Dewain or myself.  Soccer is in full swing now and both boys are filling our evenings and enjoying the exercise.  Work on the house continues, we've added some baseboard and subtracted the hideous railing.  We ride our bikes to school, 3 times a day, 3 days a week.  I cave and drive the other two.  The two youngest boys often fall asleep on the way.  Nathan got a filling and stitches (fell on the marble hearth).  We canned applesauce and apple rings, and froze some apple pie filling- thanks Aunt Holly!  The stake had a county fair, which we enjoyed.  I got to take pictures at our ward's "photo booth," though my art definitely played second fiddle to the wonderful artwork of the backdrop.  And that is all the time for today, here's hoping I don't take any more pictures this month that really should have been in this collage.
