Aiden's Sunflowers

Aiden grew Sunflowers in our garden this year.  They got huge!  He was so proud of them. 

 We would find Kayla hiding under one of them eating peas. 

Kids

I have a picture of all three of my kids at this age in this similar pose and just love it.  I had to get one of him too!  It is one of my favorite pictures of all of my kids.

 

Parker has started 'chewing' on everything.  His lip, tounge hands, pretty much anything he can get to his little mouth.  Looks like he is gearing up for some real food.  Not to much longer and we can start some of that for him.  As you can tell he isn't getting enough! 

We were all dressed and ready for church on Sunday and got a few quick pics of them all.

These 2 boys look so much alike!

Kayla can't get enough of him.  Her main concern starting pre-school was that she would miss him.

1st Day of School

Both kids have now started school and I'm finally getting settled into a routine with them all.  It's been a really busy summer for us so having them in school now has really helped me start to feel caught up.

 

Aiden started a few weeks ago already and is loving 1st grade! 

 He was so embarased that I made him take pictures with me at school in front of people!

 Grandma got to come along with us!  She met us for donuts before school and then came with us to bring him to class.  That made his first day so much more special.

 Makayla started preschool yesterday!  She is loving it.  When you ask her how her day was she says, "It was lovely.''  In the sweetest voice!  It is so cute.

After her first day of school I picked her up and she got to go on her first trail ride!  Grandma Sterk, Kayla and I all went and had a great time.  All her horse lessons paid off big time in that trail ride. 

Parker is 3 Months!

Time is going so fast with this little guy!  He is already three months and a barrel of fun. He is getting very interactive and giggles so much.  He is still sleeping through the night and growing like a weed.  His evening fussing is dwindeling down, thank goodness and I usually have him in bed by 8:00!   

 

What Parker thinks is funny. 

(sorry  they are crooked, I couldn't get them flipped.)

That is Kayla in the background making funny noises for him.

He just started using his bumbo and I put the tray with a toy on it for the first time and he thought it was so funny! 

 

 I finally have been able to get some cute pictures of him smiling! 

 Parker and his new buddy Jaxon.  What a difference 10 weeks makes! ! !
