Corn on the Cob

Kendall is so cute when she eats corn. On our trip this summer she decided she didn't like it cut off and that she could eat it like a big girl. So 2 nights ago we had chicken and corn for dinner and she was eating the corn on the cob being so cute! So I had Zach take a couple of picutres!

On the way back from our hike we took this video of us crossing a little stream. We had to pass a number of these on the way up and on the way back.

Pot Guts

Zach, Carter, Dylan and I went on a hike to Secret Lake. Once there we rested and these ground squirls, (pot guts as my mom calls them) started to come right up to us. so we fed them a little bit of granola bar.

Kendall's latest trick

I'm thirsty mom.





















































yummm.....















More please?


So she has now learned not only where I keep the plastic kids cups, but also where to fill them up with water to drink. Needless to say we often find her with a full cup of water in all parts of the house. But it is hard to get mad when she smiles and is so excited that she has gotten her own cup of water when she was thirsty!

Homework

Carter had his first homework assignment on Wednesday night. He brought home a paper bag and had to put 3-4 items in the bag that tell something about you. All of the items had to fit in to the bag. I was very impressed with his thought that he put into it and the items he picked. The first thing he picked was a picture of the family. Then he asked for a picture of Lady. I remembered this cute little stuffed dog that mom sent me quite a few years ago because it looked like Lady as a puppy. I asked Carter if that would work and he was so excited about that. Then he started having to think a little harder. Next he picked a red corvette car. And after a few minutes he found his flashlight that he got over the summer and that said he liked camping... Here is a picture of all the things together that describe him.

Ben's Car.

Tuesday the boys came home from school. I was standing in the window and they came running up. "Its a Corvette!" They both scream as they run up to Ben's car sitting in the drive way. But as they got a bit closer Carter stops and says "It's just a Honda." They still thought it was a really cool car though.













Dylan and Tatum are really enjoying school. Dylan does think the day is a little bit long. I would have to agree with him. Hopefully he will soon adjust. Luckily today is Friday and he will have the weekend to recover.

And Kendall just wants to be with her brothers. We ate lunch with them both today and she was so excited to be there with them.

Carter's first Day of school!

Carter's first day was Monday. I took the boys to school and again we all walked Dylan to his class. Then off to find Carter's class, (I had met his teacher when I took Dylan on Friday but Carter hadn't gone with me that day) We got in and found his desk and met his teacher. He got all of his things put away and we left him sharpening his pencils getting ready for day 1. I was hard to leave both boys there that morning and walk out Kendall and I. We got home and walked the dogs went to the gym and then sat down to eat lunch. Kendall looked at me and said "Boys comming?" I said no honey it's just you and me.... She really missed them today. at about 4:05pm we both sat on the front steps of the house and watched for the bus, It was hot in the sun but neither of us wanted to miss seeing them get off. When the bus pulled up Kendall ran to the boys. She had missed them so much. They both had had great days!
