Alpaca Farm




Today was a beautiful sunny day, so the kids and I ventured to an Alpaca farm after church. It was a farm day open house. Cameron really enjoyed it. Hewson did too but was not really fond of the poop on the ground. Our guide was an adorable seven year old named Maddie. I asked if she lived there and she said no that she just worked there. She taught the kids a lot.

Snuggle Day





Hewson was laying on the couch and Cameron snuggled up with him. Another rainy day. Lots of games, and puzzles and hanging out today. A friend gave the kids some gummy teeth, so here they are trying them on before they ate them.

soccer picture day



Hewson's soccer game was cancelled due to the rain all week, but he still had team photos.

Play date


Our friends Megan and Simon came over for a few hours yesterday to play. Here are the boys making goofy faces for me.

Cameron




Cameron has been calling herself super-girl lately. She puts on her rain boots (super boots) and gets a book mark (super card) and a hand slapper toy (super gun) and does funny things around the house and often comes to dinner like this. She also got herself dressed today after she went to the bathroom, but she came out in her underwear without her shorts on. I later realized she did have her shorts on but they were under her underwear and backwards. She cracks us up daily.

8 months pregnant


Here I am at 33 weeks. The doctor says everything looks fine and the the head is down. I am feeling pretty good, just getting bigger. My due date is November 13th.

Watermelon


Well, we have about five watermelons growing in are garden right now, and Cameron and I could not wait to try one. So we went out early in the morning and picked one. Jeremy and Hewson insisted it was not ready, but we cut it open anyway, and they were right. It had very little pink in it, but Cameron and i still tried it. Not so good. Oh well. Better luck next time.

A day at the fair.






This was our first homeschool field trip. We got rained out Thursday, so we went on Saturday. It turned out to be a great day. We have been learning about farm animals in school and reading Charlotte's web, so this was a good outing for us. We finished the book that night and then watched the movie.

Rainy day blues


Cameron was just not happy this day. So I took her for a walk in the rain. After a few walks (and a nap) she seemed a lot better.

Soccer




Hewson started soccer. He scored the first goal of the season. He really enjoys it and is making friends. He is so fun to watch

Ballet




Cameron started a ballet class. She has always been our little dancer. She is so fun to watch. Her first class happened to be on her third birthday.

First day of school






I have started homeschooling Hewson in Kindergarten and Cameron in Preschool. Hewson was so excited the first day. He got himself dressed all nice, grabbed his backpack and posed for pics.

Our Garden



Jeremy got me a garden for mother's day. It has been something I have wanted since we lived in Ca. I have no idea what I am doing though. We bought great soil, had the kids help us plant all kinds of seeds and here it is. The cucumbers and melons took over the garden, but it has been fun.

Brenda's Wedding






We all had a great time in Ca. for Brenda's wedding visiting old friends and family. I was able to go a couple days early and hang with Brenda before the big day. Brenda's was a beautiful and fun bride.
