Fall Fun!

This past weekend we went to the cabin one last time to close it up! The kids had a blast after we gathered up all of the leaves for them to jump in and toss. Even Jason was able to get in the fun with them.

My new hair cut! (2 postings)

Ava's new hair style! Ava asked me about cutting her hair short. She wanted it short like mine but I would not allow it...so she decided to take matters in her own hands. About a month ago she cut her own hair. If you look closely you can see the short hair just under her chin on both sides where she cut off her hair. Yes! I did keep that hair. But she was not satisfied with that little hair cut she wanted more. She kept ask almost every day until I decided we better make an appoint with my hair styles before Ava was going to take matters in her own hands! She was very excited when we showed up at the saloon...she knew this was going to be a big day for her. We gave her lots of options and the two of us were able to make a deal we both agree upon. It is short enough for her and long enough to pull back in a ponytail for mom.

Just look at her now! She is no longer my baby.

Just look at how long it was!

No more curly hair for Ava!

Camper

Last week Jason and I purchased a camper. It is a 23ft Award camper trailer. We purchased it from a man from this area. We had Aaron help us bring it home and then we spent the weekend in it in our driveway. The kids had a blast.

Braden and Jason playing Farkle a dice game one evening.

The kids enjoying the nice day.

Ava and Braden making funny faces.

Our kitchen.

The cute kids just before bed. This couch folds out into a twin bed. It was big enough for them to seep on.

1st Grade

This is a photo of Braden and Ava at the beginning of kindergarten last year 2008.

(scroll down to see this year 2009)LOOK AT ME NOW!

My big 1st Grader!

He was very excited about starting 1st grade. Braden loves school and is very excited about learning again. Summer kids was fun and so was spending time at Annette's (daycare) But there is something about learning at school that makes it better. I am very excited to have one less kid in child care...now I feel that I have gotten a raise.

I can't believe how much he has changed! I know it goes by fast. Soon I will be posting about Ava starting school. Only another 2 years until she will be starting Kindergarten.

Even Ava needed to get in the photo on the fist day of school.

Swimming and Rollag 2009

Here are some fun photos of the kids at the cabin in the water.

Here we are having fun at Rollag. It is nice to go each year because it is only 10 minutes away from the cabin. We are riding on the train that goes around the park.

Haley and Halle

New this year a little trolley.
