Chewy or otherwise known as Bluebeard.! We all thought he looked so funny with his bearded face. Carter does a good job bathing his dog.
Carter out hunting with Byron. They brought down two birds and retrieved one. Jessie couldn't find the other one. They had a good time enjoying each others company. This weekend they went for a bike ride up to the satellite towers, hard work but they enjoyed that as well.
So what do you say when a sweet little girl asks if you want your toenails painted? You have to say yes of course. She did these herself and we are hoping she gets a steadier hand soon.
Tyler is LOVING being forced to take gymnastics. Not his first choice but his back handspring is nearly there. Hopefully he won't hate us when he is older because we made him learn a new skill. The girl to boy ratio in this class is awesome if you are willing to admit you like girls. Neither of our boys will admit to such a thing, thank goodness.
Watch this Mom!!! Owwwweeeeeeee...... He can do it but it doesn't look like he is very comfy now does it? Still the flexibility is impressive.
Ali is planting a big purple kiss on her Dad's cheek. He LOVED it!
I died at the cuteness of this moment. Ali picked out a crayon to be her application brush. It was the sweetest thing to watch her paint her lips and eyelids with her crayon dipped into her lip gloss and eye shadow. Fun times being a little girl! She was getting all dolled up for our ward Primary program. She looked fabulous!
I am loving this wild grape vine that is trailing itself up our house. I didn't plant it but am happy to have it. It looks especially cool with the red leaves in the fall.
Much to the boys chagrin the girls like to dress up our little boy dog Chewy. This night he got the cutest pig-tails. Ali was more than pleased to snap this photo of him. She LOVES taking pictures. I have to say she did a splendid job. He even looks like he is smiling.
Ali is often amusing herself with drawing pictures. Sometimes she even sells them to us, I don't know where she got that idea from? This is one of my favorites she has done lately. So cute!
Carter and his friend Payton in their first band concert. They did an amazing job on their trio and we enjoyed the concert immensely. Way to go Concert Band, you rock!
We are loving the scooter! This is Byron on his way to breakfast and then off to the shop for it's 500 mile tune-up. I can't believe we have driven it 500 miles already since the Spring when we got it. Byron has hinted at getting another one. Really I think he wants to work his way up to a motorcycle but is easing me into it. We will see how it all plays out.
Weekend fun! Caramel apples, yummy! The kids had lots of fun rolling their apples in the caramely goodness and picking their toppings.
Byron likes to take the camera out when he hunts. We have lots of photos like this one of Jessie running through the grass. Unfortunately this time no birds. We like to joke about the per pound cost of meat. It does not look good for the economics of hunting. Good thing it is lots of fun! Everyone has had a turn going this fall except Ali. She is dying for a chance to get to go hunting with her Dad. He has an easy day picked out for their trip, just waiting for the right weekend.
