Good Morning World!

Look at the gorgeous pictures Lyndsi took the other morning! The sky was blazing with color and Lyndsi took advantage of being up early to memorialize the morning for us. We live up on a hill and have a great view (it would be even better if our good neighbors across the street would shrink their house down a bit - just kidding, Baums!).

Isn't she a cutie!!!! Lyndsi, my little girl, has begun the process of moving her teeth around to make them all fit! Braces.........who would've thought that Lyndsi would have braces at 8 years old? Actually, we knew this was coming. Lyndsi has been seeing an orthodontist since she was 4 because of her bite. However, it still shocks me to see her cute little smile.

Sorry.....still no after haircut picture for Dylan!

I Know! I Was Surprised Too!

So Dylan tells me a while back that he's ready to cut his hair....You'd think I would be jumping up to dial the nearest barber and getting him in ASAP....But I didn't. So, fortuately, Dylan still wanted his hair cut last week when I was able to get him in to Giddyup, the local salon. He still has his shaggy boy cut but it looks great! And I think he's happy it's so easy to care for!



  



Last weekend was the Okanogan County Fair - one of our favorite annual events. The kids entered a couple of art projects and some garden squash. Fortunately, they both got blue ribbons on everything! This big mama gave birth to 16 little piggies on fair opening night. We were lucky to see them all the next morning. Talk about cuteness! Of course, then they grow up to be like their mama....

First Day of School 2011!

School started 3 weeks ago but I've been in that "back to school teacher fog" that I get every September. Don't worry....it goes away....but that's why I haven't shown any pictures or blogged since August. Lyndsi is in 3rd grade and Dylan is in 6th. Dylan goes to a whole new school this year and has a locker! I am having trouble not seeing him around my school and not really knowing what he's up to. However, I think Dylan is more excited about school this year than I've ever seen him! He even made me come see how he opened his locker :)
