End of Summer

I didn't take my video camera to the boys' soccer game so I made a couple animated GIF images of the rapid fire still shots I took of their goals.  Bex's shot gets clipped a little on the right side so click on the image to go to the full version.

School started and Bex started his first day of kindergarten.  He obviously doesn't have the same fear of public displays of affection as does his older brother.

I can't believe trey is old enough to be in fourth grade!

Here are some unpolished pix of Aspen.  No time to post process :-(

Caeden looks so grown up in this pic that I couldn't resist posting it.

We never posted a picture of our patio furniture outside so here it is.

Never a good sign when you come outside and find your child naked on the top of the fence.  I'm glad he's comfortable with his manhood, but please learn some discretion!

We finally started doing some updates to our home last week in preparation for my bday party.  I wanted to hang these horizontally, but they were presents for Marisa so she got to choose vertical.  

The big surprise for my bday was our friends the Hesses and Curtises got together and bought me a couple hens and made a chicken coop.  I mentioned a few months ago that it would be kind of cool to have a couple.  They made a mental note and totally shocked us with these!  Becareful what you say around your friends.  It was great timing because we were considering getting a pet for the boys and now we have these.  They love them too.

We are very sad that our close friends the Curtises are moving so we named the hens after them.  It is a little weird referring to Brackon as a female, but we are getting used to it ;-)
