Mason went on a two and a half trip to Israel and India for work in September. It was a long 2 1/2 weeks, but the boys and I enjoyed a visit from Mama Cindy and Papa Bryan as well as cousins Cliff and Theo and their mommy Melissa! A special thanks to the bestest aunt ever!!! Aunt Whitney came over several times to give Mommy some much needed away time, even if it was just to the grocery store!

The cousins all actually sitting calmly!

Look at those dimples!

Eating mac and cheese can tire a poor boy out!

You can really see his little misplaced dimple in this picture

First Day of School

Yes, I'm a little behind! These are back from the beginning of September. The boys are really enjoying the school year so far. Kaleb loves going to school just like his big brother. Aiden is loving being in the four year old room and is taking it very seriously. He comes home everyday with something new that he's learned. At lunch one day he looked at me and "I can't believe Pluto is a dwarf planet!"

Random pictures from September!

Theo!

Do you see the family resemblance?

We had so much fun at the Ozarks back in June that we decided to go back again and take the boys. Mason's work was having a family weekend there and had a whole bunch of fun activities for the kids, including bounce houses, live bands and djs. The resort had several pools as well as a bowling alley! We dropped Owen off in Rolla, so he got some special one on one time with Mama and Papa! We had such a good time that we didn't want to leave and can't wait to go back!

We brought lollipops back for Ava and Ben too!
