Fall Hikes

Kate and I put on our shades and hit San Houston Jones State Park for a hike in the cooler temps 

We loved the blue skies, beautiful sights and pleasant weather. 

We even saw two alligators! Only in Louisiana 

We are looking forward to more lovely days hiking 

Well Rounded

Kate has a variety of interests. 

She attends music class from time to time. 

She never missed story time at the library. 

She enjoys mornings at the park. 

And her royal highness loves to take walks. 

Story Time

The kids have been bickering a lot lately. But occasionally I find them getting along. Before school one day I found Jack reading Kate her favorite book, Pinkalicious. She was sitting in his lap and they were both as happy as can be. Hopefully we will have more of these moments soon!

Adjustment Period

School has been a hard adjustment for Luke. For the first three weeks, the teachers had to pull him crying out of the car in the morning. His teacher called me concerned about him. It was a rough time. 

But he seems to have finally settled in. He enjoys going to centers, lunch, and recess. He made a new friend named Brice. And he talks nonstop about what they do all day. 

Hopefully it will be a great year after this rocky start 

Speed Racers

There has been lots of biking lately. The kids love riding up and down the road. 

There have been some spills and lots of bandaids but few tears. 

Kate tries her best to keep up. 

Dallin has also turned into quite the biker. He rides a few times a week with some friends. They go 20-30 miles each ride! 

Now we are ready for cooler temps for our rides!

Happy Helper

Kate loves to play and have fun

She loves to go to story time at the library. 

She helps feed the animals and works in the yard in her boots. 

And she has an office where she has her computer set up with notecards, pens and papers everywhere. 

It's always fun when Kate is around! 

Park Morning

It was one of the first relatively cooler mornings in a long time and the humidity was lower, so we went to the park! 

The boys were sporting their game day shirts in honor of our favorite teams. 

And Kate was just pretty in pink. 

The boys gave her lessons on how to play at the park. Can you resist a cutie with a ponytail? 

It was a fun morning full of lots of smiles!
