Looking forward to falling leaves:)

Hello friends. Fall is quickly approaching and the mornings are "crisp" here. To wrap up the summer I went over to Bellevue last month and had Lasik surgery on my eyes, so I am now seeing great without my glasses! I just love it! Emma started here first day of Kindergarten at Kittitas Elementary School a couple weeks ago.

Here she is for her first day of school photo.

It was raining outside that morning so she accessorized with her rain coat and boots:)

And Ken, not to be outdone by his big sister, promptly went back to his room and picked out some rain boots and a hat and was ready for his photo to be taken. What a little character!

And here is my little Emma lion. She got to be in the Farmer Consumer Awareness Day parade in Quincy this year. My mom is in the Lion's club and since Emma has been to a few of her Lion meetings and functions, they made her their mascot for the parade. She even made the Quincy paper!! So cool.

Ken is starting to show "a little" interest in the potty lately, so here he is wearing his big boy underpants. He was so proud wearing them around the house! Unfortunately they didn't really help him to use the potty when he needed to.

We went pinecone collecting up on Blewett pass the other day for a homemade bird feeder project we were working on. Yes, we could have just went to my mom's house and got tons of pinecones out of her yard, but it's so much more fun to go walking around in the woods in our rain boots:)

Big smiles while collecting pinecones.

My sweet girl and I.

Well that's about all for now. I'm off to bed early these days, as I have to have Emma to the bus stop by 7:15am.
