a few more pics

Halloween was fun at the Fisher's with the hayride trick-or-treating and festivities afterward. I believe a good time was had by all.

The boys looked forward to going to Beggs all week, they had seen the commercials and realized they added new activities and couldn't wait to check it out. This seems to be a yearly event now. I think we have gone every year since Preston was a baby. A great way to spend a family day together!

Only two months until Christmas! Yea!

Got Lysol?? The flu, strep, and just about any kind of virus you can think of seems to be going around school right now. We had up to ten kids in a class absent some days this week. Austin is finally on the mend from either a sinus infection or a virus, not sure what it was. His fever and cough lingered around for 4 or 5 days.

Chloe will be 11 months Sunday! I can't believe it! Where does the time go? I find myself asking that more and more! She is still cutting those top teeth, two have broke through and two to go! She learned how to climb a little slide we have in the playroom, it is actually one we got Austin for his first birthday. Well, she loves it as soon as we come downstairs she crawls right over to it. She actually is trying to climb everything lately. I was doing laundry and she was trying to get in the dryer!

Austin got his first report card with letter grades today, we are very proud of him, all A's. We've been planning on going to Beggs Family Farm this weekend and jokingly I told the boys we would for sure go if Austin made all A's. Well, this morning Preston obviously thought I was serious because while they were in the bathroom brushing their teeth he asked Austin, "So, do you think you will make all A's?" I think Austin said, I hope so. I told Preston I was just joking again; however, i guess he didn't believe me because as soon as we got in the van after school, he asked Austin if he made all A's. It was cute! Preston is learning so much at his preschool, he amazes me everyday. Lately, he enjoys learning and writing new words, like mom and dad! He is always anxious to share new songs and poems he learning! We have a wedding in Illinois tomorrow and then to Beggs sunday so lots of pictures to post soon!

Chloe loves to swing,I can hardly get her out of it! We always have fun at the Orchard festival. This we tried the covered wagon ride to pick our pumpkins! That was neat! The best part, the kettle corn!!

I think my pics are out of order- yhat's what happens when you wait two months to blog!
The Cuberee and an afternoon at the park. I love cool fall days- we are trying to enjoy these beautiful days before winter sets in.

wiped out from all that hiking at elephant rock

Elephant rock was a great way to spend a beautiful fall day. The views from the top were amazing. The boys loved climbing the rocks, we couldn't get them to leave. All three kids crashed on the way home.

Wow, it's been sometime! I don't want to miss out journaling about the things Chloe and the boys are doing; however, since Chloe started crawling, I barely get the chance to sit down. Not to mention, going back to work takes some getting used too! It was super hard to leave Chloe in the beginning and still some days are harder than others. She is cruising all around the furniture now and we recently got her a little stroller to walk behind. She's so cure! She got her bottom two teeth around 8 months and cut her third tooth on top last week. She is getting three more teeth on top, last night was a rough night to say the least. Her gums are so swollen. I stayed home with her today and actually took her to the doctor because she had 101.8 fever so I though maybe she had an ear infection but everything checked out O.K I hope it's just her teeth and not the start of something else!
She loves music and crawling after her brothers. She prefers to play in their bedrooms over hers. She'll probably be a tomboy which is fine with me as long as she likes to wear dresses. Oh, how I love to dress her up! It is so much fun! Austin loves the second grade, his class is right next door to mine. It's neat to be right there and see him throughout the day! Next year Preston will join us! I look forward to that! He seems to be enjoying preschool at south!

Six Flags

update

Preston caught a little blue gill! He was thrilled, he just couldn't wait to go fishing! Saturday night when Jeff put the boys to bed I was sitting at the camp fire with Chloe and I don't know for sure what was going on in the tent but Austin and Preston were cracking up. It was the sweetest sound. I love the memories they are making in the summer, they really grow closer each summer they get to spend together.

camping fun

We're setting record lows- for sure Michigan weather here in Missouri- 70's for the high and upper 50's for the lows IN JULY! I love it!
