Another fun year. The kids always love getting to do the pumpkins. This year Taylor got to dress up twice-for school he had to pick a career or character in a book, so he chose an eye doctor. So we got him dressed up as Dr. Seymore Clearly, hahhaha, and of course his later costume was a Bionicle, (imagine that), hannah a dog, Rendi was Princess Leah with Brendan and Spencer as a clone trooper & Annakin and my friends baby a very cute bumblebee.

Just some fun ones of the kids: Hannah feeding her baby doll Bjorn (the ones that wets and comes with food), Taylor reading his 3-D Dinosaur book, Hannah getting in a much needed nap and her painting some wooden leaf decorations.

It's been awhile since I've added pictures so here comes a whole bunch. Carol and Charlie came up in September and took us to the pumpkin patch, the kids loved it.

One of my favorite clients, The Idaho Botanical Garden, hosts yearly events and gave us free tickets to "Bug Day" that I made the program and map for. Since Taylor loves bugs so much, we had to go. Unfortunately, Hannah got the stomach flu and had to stay home.
Taylor got to hold big bugs from other countries, see how honey bees work, make a bug mask, learn about lots of different kinds of bugs and we got to tour the gardens, which were beautiful. We had a great time and at the end, Taylor got his "Certificate of Bugology".

Taylor started second grade on August 22, and he was so lucky to get his first grade teacher, Miss Thornton. We are very happy, she is a great teacher. Taylor was excited to get back to school. He is also walking himself home everyday. Hannah will be next.

We had our friends Brent, Lisa and Jarrett visit us from Washington for the weekend so we decided to hit the fair. Everyone had a great time!

Mike turns 32, since he was so old I only gave him one candle to blow out. We celebrated at his favorite eatery Texas Roadhouse and the kids picked out presents themselves-Taylor a book and Hannah a black shirt.

Here is a picture of Sean and Chinatsu, we got to have dinner at Mom's before they left for San Fran., and we got to visit a little with them.
