September 2014

Coleman smashing berries for jam. We got tons of raspberries out of our patch this year. It was delightful. My kids and their friends love to go outside and pick them right off the vine. Ironically, Coleman had just bathed right before this.

Coleman swinging at the park.

Sept. 4th, Evy started back at preschool. She did not know how to pose for a picture.

 

Sept 5th, We went to the Ogden Temple open house. Coleman stuck his feet in the fountain right before we went in. Then he refused to put the booties on in the temple so I had to carry him the whole time, stairs and all.

Evy turned 5! We had a pajama birthday party for her on Sept. 6th.

Duck, duck, goose on the trampoline.

Evy, Rylee, Kami, Coleman, Avery, Maddi, Livia and Kate.

Evy chose a flamingo pinata.

Evy got whacked unfortunately when someone went a little too soon. Kids just don't seem to stay away when someone is swinging.

In this day and age of marvelous cakes that moms make for their kids, I made boring old fashioned cupcakes. I thought I'd get picketed.

Cake time. Emmie, Avery, Preslee, Kate, Kami, Evy, Rylee and Maddi.

Sept. 8th, Coleman playing with the neighbors' chickens.

Sept. 9th, Elsa came to visit the neighborhood.

Sept. 13th, Nelson and I went to an Aggies game.

For his birthday, Sept. 16th, Nelson wanted a reclining camp chair.

We went to Texas Roadhouse with our neighbors, the Henries. Nelson told them he was 26.

I made a chocolate bundt cake. I loved the frosting on top. Mmmm...

 

Coleman helped himself to a chunk of it earlier that day.

Sept 20, Nelson went to Wyoming to hunt antelope with Gary Bradshaw.

Here's his prize the next day. Doesn't Taggert look like the body of the antelope?

Joyschool is back in session. Coleman, Livia, Evy and Sam. We have 2 more kids but they were out of town.
