The rest of October

 Playing in the town house! Kolby loves his 'footed jammies!'

 Big smiles from Kyle! :)

 Great for indoor entertainment when the weather is bad!! Raises up to 6' tall!!

 Stairs are used for drawing and playing on!

 Birthday party for Jacobi and Micah! They have a great train table that Kolby could/would play on all day every day if he could!

 Jacobi and Micah's birthday cake!

Megan putting the finishing touches on the train cake!! Doesn't Tomas look awesome?!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Kyle had to pick out dessert for Del's birthday! :)

And, at school they had student of the week - Kyle wanted me to take his picture like this so his classmates could see his bike, his pumpkin jammies and his new slippers! This is on the patio of the town house.

Sold the house!!

So, we put our house on the market right before Memorial Day weekend and closed on it before Labor Day weekend!! We found an inexpensive townhouse to rent (2 bed/1.5 bath) near the school and even walked a few times! Sometimes we walked by choice and sometimes because the van was acting up...

We moved into the new place the last weekend of August, closed Sept 2nd and left for Clever I Convention after that! :) Busy week!!!

While we were packing up, we had to have a tree taken down because it was dead.

 This is how they took the big stuff out of the backyard...

 Kolby was my watcher but the chainsaw was too noisy so he had to sit inside!!

 Silliness!

 Now that the noisy part is done... he sat out with the guys while they took a drink break too. :)

52 card pickup times 10?!

 In the midst of packing the house, I got the games down to pack and went to make a couple phone calls. This is what I found when I came back...

Nothing like sorting through games/cards/toys... I didn't have anything else to do right.

King for a Day

Kindergarten Open House/1st Day of School!

 The 'kitchen' in Kyle's classroom - Kolby heads there every time we are in the room!!

 Kyle and Ms Colvin! He loves his teacher :).

 Kyle, Daddy & Kolby in the hallway - first morning of school!

 Kyle at his desk - started out with puzzles on their desk!

And here it is!!

4th of July Part II - Camping out!!

 Entertaining themselves while Del and I set the tent up...

 Our campsite!! Didn't take any pictures in the between, I guess! We had a blast eating, playing, visiting, fishing (the boys did :))...

 This is while we were packing up our things! Camping is hard work!

 And consists of lots of stuff.

 "Mom, my hair is sweaty"

BIG Drink! We had a great time!!

July 4th Weekend Part I - Followed!!

 We got out to the farm after Union Meeting for the 4th of July campout - stopped to drop food in the refrigerator and this is what the boys found in the yard!

 Love them holding hands - the turtle made them a little nervous so they were supporting each other! :)

 Kyle had to go for a bathroom break so Kolby continued on by himself...

 Still following...

 Following...

Look Mom! :) And the turtle crawled off into the brush and we went on down to the campground!! To follow in the next post!

The boys show off their shirts!!

Kari's Uncle said Kolby's smile needs to be put on a red, white, & blue shirt, so after we get one and a picture we'll do that! :)

February (toward the end) is the month folks!! We are all very excited!
