September 2022

 

September 2 - Eastern Idaho State Fair! Blake, Aubrey and Declan went to see what they could find at the fair this year.

September 3 - Blake and I along with Brian's and Jared's families went to the fair. The animals are always a big hit!

It was a very hot day, so Maden and I decided we didn't want to stay at the fair for the rides, but the rest of them had a great time, just look at all those smiles.  Maden and I had real nice time with just the two of us, we played some games and went to eat at Tommy Vaughn's.

September 4 - Brian and Aubrey brought all the ingredients to make Hawaiian Haystacks.  Annie was a big help in cutting up the vegetables.

September 5 - Ryder got to be in the back of Randy's new pickup and help get the mower on the trailer when they went to mow Grandpa Early's lawn.

Blake, Brian, Aubrey, Jared, Nikelle, Molly and Hallie went to the archery range.  The  girls had fun shooting their little bows.

Blake, Brian, Aubrey, Jared, Molly and Hallie went to the green belt in Idaho Falls and rode the electric scooters. The girls loved it.

September 6 - A beautiful sunrise! Hallie's first day of Preschool at the Busy Bee's Preschool. She was a little nervous.

September 7 - Declan's first day of Preschool at Miss Kara's!

September 8 - A beautiful moonrise. My camera made funny little light squiggles when it took this picture. I'm just always so amazed and grateful to see these beautiful creations God sends my way.

September 13 - Another beautiful sunrise! And look at our beautiful roses! They have done so well, and I love them!

September 14 - There was a kind of creepy, but peaceful ground fog this morning. This plant that was given to me when Blake's mother passed away, decided to bloom, I don't remember it ever blooming before.

September 17 - Blake and Jared had a day of service.  First they went to Treasure Mountain Scout camp to help dismantle the camp.  Blake drove a little loader and took the debris to Jared and he picked it up in another loader and dumped it into a dump truck.  Then, they went to Johnson's and dug a pit to roast a pig in.  

September 18 - We celebrated Blake's upcoming birthday.  After dinner and peach pie, the kids played with some play dough and some games on the iPad. Then, as I was leaving my parents house, there was another beautiful sunset.

September 20 - I redecorated the front porch for fall! So fun!

 Another magnificent sunset!

September 22 - Molly and Hallie got to come spend some time, so we played some games. Then, another spectacular sunset.  I love the refection in the puddle.

September 23 - Nikelle, Molly, Hallie and I went up to the Red Barn U Pick Pumpkin Patch.  First, we had to take some pictures with the pumpkins.

Michael, James, Paul, Derek and Molly and Hallie had a great time in the little tractor roadway.

Michelle and boys and Molly and Hallie had a great time on the straw slide.

The kids had a great time in corn pit. Michael, James and Molly got to be models for an instagram post for the pumpkin patch.

We rode the little train, jumped on the jumpy thing, pet some kittens and Lynne, Rob and I rested in some chairs while the kids played.

After the pumpkin patch, we went to Leo's Place.  The kids were starving and ate all the pizzas. They had fun in the play area.

Brian and Aubrey went up to the mountain, and Brian was lucky enough to hit this deer with an arrow. Look away from the next picture, if you're squeamish.

September 24 - Blake, Randy and Brian are skinning and cutting up the deer.

We got to watch Ryder play soccer in Pocatello.  He's so quick and focused, so fun to watch!

September 25 - Brian with the deer horns mounted onto a plastic skull.  He's pretty proud.

September 28 - Molly has some beads in her hair for Native American day at school.  Blake thought his surgical hat looked like he was dressing up for it, too.

Just another gorgeous sunrise!

September 29 - Hallie brought some of the "babies" up from the basement, she played and talked with them for a good long time.
