We survived Dusty being gone at LDAC for one month!
Samantha turned 4!
Nathan turned 2!
We found out our new little baby (due Nov. 30th) is a girl!
We had several wonderful family reunions- Junction, UT (Tolman), Midway, UT (Fillmore), Lake George, CO (Allen) Am I forgetting any trips?
Would you believe that we didn't take a single picture while we were in Colorado?!?! We're terrible!!!
The awesome pinata I made for the Tolman reunion with Brian swinging his heart out!
Here's a Preview of what is to come:
Dusty starts his Last year of College! Whoot Whoot! He's doing his internship this fall so it will be pretty busy. He's been working on all kinds of projects in the garage including a sandrail and don't forget the many trips to the woods to cut firewood. I keep telling him it's really okay for us to use the furnace once in a while but he really enjoys having a fire and I think he enjoys going to get the wood too.
Melanie is getting more and more pregnant every day. I am so excited to welcome this little girl into our family! If all goes well, I will also have gall bladder surgery soon after she's born. Oh, how I have missed chocolate, butter, and 2% milk! I'm still absolutely loving being at home full-time and I have been able to do so much sewing and crafting. The other day, I made Brian a pair of pajama shorts which he though were the coolest thing ever! (Confession: I'm already thinking about starting on Halloween costumes for this year)
Brian is starting 1st grade! He is excited to be able to eat lunch at school and use his new school supplies. He is getting more and more independent and just loves to go go go! We just got a little motorbike that Dusty is teaching him to ride. He's not quite tall enough to straddle it yet which I'm grateful for- I'm not quite ready for him to be that grown up yet.
Samantha is also starting preschool. We're just doing at-home preschool on a rotation with a few other moms/kids. She's excited and keeps asking when she gets to go to preschool. She is still super imaginative and I find her playing all sorts of games with all sorts of things. Did you know that colored pencils make great characters?
Nathan is growing up SO fast. He is talking up a storm and running and jumping even more. I have never seen a 2-year old with his muscle control and balance. He teaches all his friends who come over how to go down the stairs on their bellies face first. He still loves tractors and cars. He also loves going for rides with Daddy. I've had to literally run after him a couple of times when dad had to leave him behind and he tries to run after him anyway.
