Jeremy decided to sneak over on Joel's first day of school to make sure things were going good.  Here his is in the library, having fun with a ruler.

Jake and Oma started building a "pyramid."  This was the end result after Oma left.  Jake wanted to make sure she saw it, so he managed to take almost 30 pictures of this impressive fortress!

Jeremy is getting ready for Homecoming.  Go ahead and just start calling him Professor Dumbledore!

Avery is not so sure about the lawn decorations.  On a side note, I thought that outfit matched when I got her dressed...what was I thinking?!

Thankful for our little Indian Summer - and dirt piles for Joel to play in.

Nearing the end of my 30 day challenge and excited to say that I'm Doing It!  With a little Shakeology, T-25 workouts, and 30 days, I lost 10 lbs and Jeremy lost 20 lbs!  Wahoo us!

I'm so excited about all that Jake is learning already this year!  Things progress so much more quickly when they are in school every day!

I took the kids to Jeremy's home cross country meet.  It was a perfect afternoon and nice for the kids to get to watch their daddy hard at work!

Naughty girl!  We can't keep her off the table...once again, glad Grandma and Grandpa aren't watching this!

We didn't get to spend much time at Artprize this year, but we did get to see a few things!

Lego mania!  Good thing Grandma and Grandpa didn't see this!!!

Progress on my parents' porch!  Too bad the really nice part (floor) is covered up.

More laundry...guess I should start checking pockets first.  At least this was one tough Memory game and it seemed to hold up!

9-19-13


After our trailer got trashed and all of our clothes were taken out of our drawers and dumped around, I decided to wash EVERYTHING!  Here's the first half.  The poor wash machine never seems to have a break!

This is what happens after a face plant on the driveway.  It ended up turning black and blue too!  Poor girl!

Joel loves the dirt piles on our property!

A few of my co-workers and I went to play bingo at the Vet's Home.  It was a really fun evening!

And here it is!  I'm loving it! (Plus I'm loving the highlights that cover up the grey...shhhh)

I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow, so here's the before picture.  I haven't had it cut since before Avery was born.  Although I love being able to always pull it back, it is out of control!

9-12-13


Joel LOVED watching the cement get poured in my parents new porch!  He sat here forever!

Waiting at the bus stop for Jakey!

I sometimes wonder if there really are 2 years between these two.  Thing 1 and Thing 2.  So fun together!

9-7-13


This is the view outside of my office on a Saturday afternoon.  I'm trying to get extra work done, but there is a Mariachi band playing loudly outside of my window.  Frustrated!
