Our first suzuki play-in

Oops sorry about the blurry picture. Caden did really well. He played up to perpetual motion. The boy next to him is also in is school class. Ya I know, Matthew is having problems with his violin hold. He had a good time though. They were especially excited to notice an ice cream/bakery parlor right out side the auditorium. I do have a video, but it is really dark so I will just film them later and send it.

Our redneck camping trip

We decided to put to use Travis's Dads pop-up trailor. We drove about 5 miles from our house and set up camp. We roasted hotdogs and smores, the boys played baseball, and Sadie just chilled. Oh and Travis took us spotlighting when it got dark. Spotlighting is the ultimate redneck activity. We have a monster spotlight, we pile in the redneck truck and shine it out the windows hoping to see deer and elk. The boys had a blast and Sadie was amused. We woke up Sat. morning and had blueberry pancakes, eggs, sausage and hot chocolate. We wanted to go on a bike ride, but forgot to bring the hitch for the bike trailor. So we just drove 5 miles home to get it. It was a pretty fun adventure.

Sadie walking on the sidewalk

Sadie just learning to walk and talk. She just decided on her 18 month mark to the day that she would walk. It was like she knew she probably should start to walk. She is also learning to say a few words. I thought this video was funny. If it works I will send more!!

Camping in Kanab

The boys had a great time with their scooby do and spiderman fishing poles. They acually caught a fair amount of fish. We went up for Labor day weekend with Travis' Dad and Janice, Mark and Celeste. Brad and Carena drove down from Colorado. It took them 11 hours. We had a good time playing cards, fishing, biking, going on 4 wheeler rides, and reading good books. Caden and I read the first volume of Harry Potter. Its a really cute book!!

Our Flagstaff home

We are falling in love with mountain living. We love the pine trees, the squirrels and deer that live with us. I told Travis that I feel like we are on vacation everyday. I love walking outside and smelling the fresh air. It brings back memories of pulling up to priest lake, stepping out of the van and smelling the pine trees. I guess thats why I think I'm just on vacation. I can't wait to be able to use our fireplace on those chilly mornings. We love the forest right across the street (the boys think its ours.)

Matthews first day of preschool. His favorite thing about preschool is cupcakes and recess (of course!)
