September in Review

Today I was cleaning up my memory card, and thought I should share some of the happenings in our family this last month. In early September Jason took the three kids to Portland to see the Dinosaurs at OMSI- leaving me home for an ENTIRE day by myself. It was fabulous! Hannah took this picture below of the boys and the life size dino outside OMSI.



This month Zeke joined the ranks of Karate Kids here at our house! He and his new friend Nick started the same day. Nick's mom and I are friends, but the boys had never met before day #1. Nick greeted Zeke with a huge hug as he opened the door on his first day, and they have been Karate friends ever since!
Zeke in his Gi. He is not so sure about wearing the Gi- but he LOVES karate classes!


This picture was taken by Jason while I was gone one evening for classes. The kids got this cheapy toy Basketball Set and they LOVE it. They got out some face paint to look mean- Jason didn't have the heart to tell them that lines under the eyes are not for basketball. :)


Judah had collected money from his August birthday and a new lawn he is mowing and watched ads week in and week out watching for a deal! He is soooo into his new love of hunting and guns. He purchased his first 30-30 and feels really proud. It is very heavy for him, BUT his mama kinda took a liking to this gun. I told Judah that I might have to buy it from him- it fits me perfectly and I must say that there is some serious empowerment when you hold it and look through the scope!


I love this time of year- mostly because of pumpkins and all that comes with pumpkins. We usually make many trips to pick pumpkins and we finished up September with our first trip- it is a fun family tradition and the kids feel so proud to have 'their' pumpkin on the step.


More fun times in October!
