Arboretum Fun with Clark Family

It is pumpkin patch time again.  We went with Michael's sister's family.  We had a good time.  It was packed, but Saturday is the only day the whole family can go.  I will warn you, we will be going back for more, so get used to pumpkin pics with my kids. Well, at tleast the two youngest ones will be going back.  ha ha

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Smart Boys!

The boys just got their first report cards of the year, and I got to go to parent teacher conferences.  The boys are doing great.  I know this is a brag post, but I gotta do it.  ;) 


Joshua got Es in all of the subjects which is the highest you can get.  :)  Joshua's teacher said he was very studious.  ha ha.  It is not a word I would use to describe him, but glad that he is studious at school.  He loves getting AR points, so he is reading lots.  He has already earned his second personal pan pizza. 

Joshua got the perfect attendance award at his awards assembly. 

 

Dallin was super achiever for his class.  He enjoys school.   Mrs. B says he is doing great, and she enjoys having him in class.  She has him in her top reading group.  :)

 

Dallin's teacher is what I remember my teacher's looking like.  She is so festive with her clothes.  I love it!  She is fun!  Dallin didn't get perfect attendace due to being sick, but next time he will probaby get it. 

More of the Same

We have been busy doing much of the same things as before. Here is a peak at our last week or two.  I hope to do pumpkin patches and all of the fun Fall activities soon.  I love Fall!!!


The boys had two days off of school for Fair and teacher in service.  They painted all day one day.  They are really starting to enjoy it.  Michael joined them on Sunday.

Leah is obsessed with puzzles.  She loves the Kindle puzzle app.  We also do real puzzles.  She likes the computer one better because Evan doesn't mess it up, and when you put pieces together they don't come back a part.  :)  She does really well until about level 6 or 7.  She starts needing help.

The boys are loving soccer.  Every day they are playing in the back yard after school playing soccer or football.  The boys were so close to scoring a goal this week.

Michael makes fun of me, becuase I get into the games.  I enjoy cheering for my boys and their friends.  It is fun!  :)

Leah has just been getting into dress ups.  We decided to dress up Evan too.  He didn't like it as much as Leah, but I thought the bee and flower were too cute not to photograph.

Leah and Evan enjoy swinging was well.  They could have me push them for almost an hour. 

Team Thunder and Team Wolverine!

The boys played their first soccer game yesterday! The rain held off until they were done, so it was perfect.

Joshua is the one of the smallest on his team.  He has first through third graders on his team.  They are working on passing and staying spread out. 

Dallin's division is so cute!  It is not uncommon for them to step back and let a kid kick the ball.  They are all so sweet.  Joshua's division is a little more intense.  :)

Dallin was a little shy, but with time I am sure he will be in the action more.

Joshua had a good time, he loves running around. 

Joshua won the sportmanship award at the end of the game and Dallin won the Christ like award.  We are in a Christian soccer league.  You gotta love Texas for that!  ha ha

Leah's a big girl!

This week Leah decided she was done with diapers.  The first day was terrible!  I thought I was going to have to squash her desire, but she proved me wrong the second day.  She has been pretty good ever since.  We have gone to library, church, and the park accident free!  She still has trouble at night, but during the day she is great!  She is so happy to wear her pretty undies.  :) 

Evan is cutting another tooth so he has been cranky.  Leah potty training and a cranky kid made for a long week.  Now Dallin was up all night sick.  Poor kiddo!  He has been sleeping all morning, so I am hoping he is better by tomorrow.  The boys are starting soccer on Tuesday so they will get a post just about them soon! 

Quiet at home

I thought it would be so easy when my big boys went to school.  ha ha It is not as easy as I thought it would be.  My big boys are great at entertaining the little ones without even trying.  My boys have great imaginations.  The little one are doing great at home.  We have been to the park and Arboretum.  We play dolls, balls, and lots of blocks.  It is also nice to have an hour to myself in the middle of the afternoon during nap time. 


I love the joy of their faces in this picture. 

Leah was "reading" to Evan.  Cute!

Evan is so happy!  He just cut his first tooth and is now crawling!  I am usually not so nostalgic about these things, but for some reason this one caught me off guard and it kind of makes me sad.  He is getting big so fast!

 

 

Labor Day and other happenings..

These are the faces of Evan when I try to give him something other than milk.  Crazy kid.  I have never had a kid who did not like food.  Oh well, cheaper for me, and easier diapers.  :)

I raced on Saturday.  It was 5 miler.  It felt great!  I love running in the Fall.  The boys ran as well.  They are so fast!

We got a new AC system on Friday.  I took Leah and Evan to Aunt Jenny's house to beat the heat while they were installing.  Aunt Jenny left her make up out and Leah decided to take advantage.  Crazy girl!  I felt bad.  She decided to use the mascara on the toilet as well. 

On Labor Day we went to the Lake.  We had a grea time!  The weather was perfect!

We had lots of family and a few friends eat and play in the lake with us.

 

It was a nice relaxing day!  The boys loved the lake and swam for hours!
