Air Show

Last weekend was the air show. We decided that we would all go! I think everyone had fun, but after 2 hours we were all exhausted.

Dad and Son Campout Fun

A week and a half ago, Will and Nathaniel went on a campout together. To say they had fun is an understatement. Nathaniel told Will that he wanted to repeat the day of the campout "over, and over and over." They did crafts like leather work, archery, bb guns, etc. He even made a new friend while he was there.

Playing Around

These are just a few shots from everyday play. You can kind of see Nathaniel in the background of this first shot. He came home from school and wanted to rest. He was really tired. Seth and Joel started saying "rest" and they got their blankets and laid next to him. Except they moved around a lot, and poor Nathaniel didn't get much rest. But it was really funny.

Joel without clothes - he made a big mess during dinner.

Seth on top of Joel - unusual, normally the other way around

Seth decided not to take a nap the other day, so he played with Play-doh while I worked in the kitchen. He had a really good time.

Button Fun

A few good pics of the boys playing with some birthday presents.

Little Boys' Zoo Trip

We got to take the little boys to the zoo . . . and had so much fun. The weather was perfect - a nice cool fall morning.

Seth is ready to go!

Poor Joel - he didn't get the memo that we were taking a picture.

Rocket Launch and Soccer

A couple of weeks ago we all went to watch Nathaniel launch his rocket. Everyone had a good time and enjoyed the outdoors.

I am yelling at Joel to come back - he ran off during the picture.

Nathaniel does really well at soccer - he tries hard and always does his best. There are only 6 players on their team, so they have to play the whole hour. They are a scrappy crew, and have won most of the games. They are tough! It's been fun to watch him play and enjoy the nice fall weather.
