Last of September...

Waiting to go into Parent/teacher conference...class of 2029 right here! Mom and Dad walked out very proud of both kids this night ;-)

Kayla earned enough "Grizzly bucks" for good behavior to bring Sadie into her class

Sadie went to "Dippin' Dogs" at our neighborhood pool before they drained it for the winter

TJ was out of town for 2 weeks (minus the 24 hours he came home) in Indianapolis for work

Bodie helped Todd edge the lawn for the first time

I was SUPER sick one day so TJ took the kids hiking

We went to the kid's school's skate night

I came to the kid's school bagels and book fair

Kayla is on the school birthday bulletin board with her principal and the Chick-fil-A cow (he brings them food for their    b-day)

Family fall drive

Every year, we take a family fall drive in September to see the leaves changing. We get bundled up in the car and TJ and I get our fall coffee drinks and then out we go. The kids used to fall asleep every time while Todd and I talked about life...memories, goals, ect. Now the kiddos stay awake the whole time so we talk as a family, get out for pictures and grab lunch somewhere fun. This year was extra fun because there was already snow on the ground so we got to see the fall colors with a dusting of snow in some places. I absolutely LOVE this tradition and look forward to it every year!!!

Driving through the clouds

Hot chocolate to warm up

Todd surprised the kids with this at the end of lunch

Making funny faces at daycare

BBQing and singing with some of our besties

Even the parents got in on the singing action

Fall hike

Todd and the dogs actually got in the water...brrr

This is what happens when your big sis plays dress up on you :-0

Sending Daddy pictures while he was away

Bus stop games

Ready for the fun run at school

Not only did he do well in the run, but he won a scooter too :-)

These girls ran, walked, cartwheeled, and did round-offs

Kayla had gymnastics and 2 parties in one day...she loved this rock climbing for one of them

Then we went to the state fair w/ friends and my siblings

This picture doesn't do it justice...this cow was HUGE (my brother is over 6 feet if that tells you something)

Love these boys

Todd and my brother went on this ride...holy scary much!

You can't tell, but this is Kayla and her friend

Looking over the fair on the tall slide with my buddy

Dinner time

Family is everything

The next day I took the kids to the Carmelite fair and they loved watching the dancers

Bodie chose the huge sausage for lunch and ate every bite

We met some friends and had to have snow cones

The result of the snow cone

Then onto games...Bodie made most of his shots
