we are alive

We are alive. 

We have all been sick with nasty colds.

We have been super busy....more on that another time.

Anyway, we went and watched our cousin play volleyball one night.  

Super fun!

I'm working at the elementary school as a reading tutor.  I work 9-10:30 Monday-Thursday and have 3 classes (1st, 5th and 3rd).  I spend 30 minutes with each class and do whatever activity the teacher wants me to do.

Grandpa came to visit. It was fun having him here.

go vikings

We went to the high school homecoming parade last week. Last year, I remember jackets. 

This year was stinking hot. 

Waiting for it to start.

For a Homecoming parade, we sure got a lot of loot!

this and that

We helped clean the church a couple of weeks ago for FHE.

Bosten had a dental appointment. He did great (and watched a movie on those sweet glasses).

Bosten and I had a date one day when the Waffle Luv truck was in town.  We shared a waffle, but he informed me that next time I needed to get my own.

College football season is in full swing.  Both of our teams are off to a great start.

Go Cougars!

Go Beavers!

Busted. I found this stash of candy wrappers in Bosten's room (no wonder he needed a dental appointment!)

Little stinker.

I didn't realize I had a monkey. We played for a few minutes after school on Friday.

We are loving this fall weather!

We've been waiting to go see Dolphin Tale 2.  Kaden loved it, Bosten thought it "was just in the middle".

first day of kindergarten

Bosten has been more than ready to start Kindergarten, and we've been counting down the days for weeks!

He wanted a new red tshirt and a red backpack.  Bet you can guess what his favorite color is!

We saw one of his friends at orientation.  We are bummed he's in the afternoon class.

They went for orientation Monday, had Tuesday and Wednesday off for assessments, and then really had his first day on Thursday.  He loved it, and didn't look back as he walked in the door.

He hasn't had to adjust at all.

A different story for Mom. :)

first day of 3rd grade

Kaden started 3rd grade last week.  Its always a hard adjustment starting a new year, with a new teacher, etc.  We went in the week before school started, so that we could officially meet his teacher (she's in our ward, but he didn't really know her).

He's sporting a new tshirt and new shoes.

  This is actually pretty accurate....Kaden is cool and Bosten is being a goof.

He's off to a great start!

rise and shout

BYU invited the public to their final scrimmage, so we thought we should go check it out.

We decided to act like it was the real thing and put flags on the car and wear our shirts.

We took our cousin with us too...so fun!

Go Cougars!!

more summer fun

We went miniature golfing one night as a family.

The boys had dental appointments and got to practice brushing some friends' teeth.

We checked out a new park two days in a row.

Some of our favorite people came over and they decided to play in the mud.

A few days later, we decided to have fun at Cherry Hill together.

Silly Bos and his red drink lips.
