September

September was a busy month. We all settled into a new school year and new routines. 

Ripley has to spend a lot more time home alone these days.  This is one of her favorite spots to hang out.   

This month Alex was inducted into the National Honor Society.  He is thrilled but we are very proud of him! 

This month cooking adventure for Mia was making cake pops.  They may not look super pretty but they were yummy.  

Mia had dance pictures this month.  We snapped a few on our way out.  

Trying out Ripley's new bed. 

Alex got to play lots of football this month.  Some of the games were very hot! He has been playing great and it has been so fun to watch. 

We put out our Halloween decorations toward the end of the month and Ripley got to try on one of Boo's old costumes.  She loved it.  

We also took a family trip to the zoo this month.  

We also made some time to hit up the fair again this month.  It was a lot of fun.  Our kids are getting older and each took a turn with motion sickness.  The fair rides are definitely not Disneyland quality.  

Another year on the little farm!

At the end of the month Alex and Brandon spent a weekend hunting.  Sadly they didn't get anything but at least the weather was great. 

Mia and I enjoyed our girls weekend.  This was the face she chose to make when I sent an update to Brandon.  

It was a good month!
