Vacay

You know it's almost vacay time when this package arrives...

Traveling

We made couple trips up to see my parent's in August.  The first was for a long weekend which included lots of fun with cousins, a birthday party for Payten and a family reunion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 My dad with his mom and 14 of his 15 siblings.

 I just love the picture below.  My Grandma Benzschawel is a special lady (she has to be with that many kids).

The kids had lots of fun playing at the park.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Our second trip up was for my cousin Amy's wedding.  And I have to say, we all had a blast.  The kids loved dancing the night away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The month of August was jam packed with fun and lots of memories.

Life Lately

Fall is here and we are soaking up the last bits of warm weather when we can.

Helping Brecken learn his numbers and ABCs.

Apple donuts at the Apple Hut.  The kids loved them, especially Mackston.

 Mackston got a little ride from Ryan.

 One last trip for ice cream and Chesney and Brecken decided to try the sprinkle cones.

Catch up

It's time for a catch up post because we have been busy with back to school routines and after school activities.

 We have squeezed in some park time while Chesney's away at school.

 

 

 The boys are getting lots of bonding time in.

 Chesney has only had cold lunch once this school year.  She is really eating a variety of foods now which makes meals so much easier.

 Chesney started a new tumbling and jazz class and is loving both of them.

 Chuck was at home with the boys one night when I took Chesney to tumbling and this is the photo he sends.  Mackston has learned all of his tricks from his big brother.

 The boys always want to play outside when we get home from dropping Chesney off which sometimes means that breakfast happens in the garage.

 

 I have the best taste testers for cookies.

 

 A sign of a good day at the park is sandy toes.

 Chesney isn't the only one who will eat a variety of food.  Mackston is pretty open to foods.  He's snacking on a little guacamole which Chesney above.

We finally got some big boy bedding for Brecken. Does he look happy?!?
