Catch up

We had Nicole & Jeremy in town for Labor Day, and went to the zoo with the kids. We ran into his brother and his family there too! It was fun for the kids to hang out with each other, and the zoo is always a hit with the kids! I can't believe how old the kids are looking. When I pull up pictures from the past few years, I can't believe how quickly they are growing up. Each stage brings a new and fun adventure, but I just wish time would slow down a little bit! 

We also had Elizabeth & Jurgen in town the following weekend! I didn't get any pictures of the girls with them, and I should have. They are the sweetest people, and are truly like our girls "Montana Grandma & Grandpa". We went to the State Fair on Saturday, and that is always an adventure! The creepy men at the games gave Lilly the creeps so bad, she was trying to not cry!! The hit of the day were the piglets. They were the cutest little things I have ever seen! The girls couldn't get enough! It was such a fun weekend!

One thing I was nervous about when I took my job was if I was going to have enough time to still volunteer in the girls classes. Thankfully, it is working out. The kids in Lilly's class had been learning about supermarkets, so one day her class walked to the store which is just down the street from the school. They got to see how a grocery store runs, and what goes on behind the scenes. It was really interesting actually! Afterward, the kids each got a balloon and a treat. It was a fun little outing, and I am so glad I got to go!

Claire has fallen in love with my bright red lipgloss. It is funny because she doesn't seem like the type that would love lipstick, but she does! And, with her coloring it looks so pretty on her. Cute little thing.

We had a couple of Friday's off in September, so we took advantage and went on some outings and did some cooking! The girls wanted to do caramel apples, which was the perfect fall treat.We did them "gourmet", and they turned out SO good! It was so much fun!!
