September 2009

So I did it. I'm caught up to the month just before this one. Let's see if I can manage to post October in a timely manner.

September happened to be busier than August. Kaden started Kindergarten, Ashlyn started preschool, soccer games started, ballet started & Scarlet started crawling everywhere and getting into everything.

On top of it all Vaughn & I went out of town for one of his work conferences. He had meetings during the day while I slept & played. It was fun & much needed. My poor sister watched all 3 kids while we were gone. It's funny being on the other end of the phone listening to the stories that usually take place in my life.Kaden's first day of school was a success. I love his teacher & he just really enjoys going. He is so proud of everything he gets to do and appreciates all the little responsiblilities he has. He even enjoys doing his homework. It's a breeze this year. I just wish he didn't have afternoon kinder because it screws up the napping schedule. My girls now nap at 12:30 which is way too early for me.

Ashlyn is doing an amazing job in preschool. I can't believe how eager she is to learn. She is actually starting to master her alphabet which I thought would never happen. She loves her teacher, chapel, the playground, and her friend Kylie. She was so proud on her first day that she had her own school and that it was no longer Kaden's. She beamed with excitement when she got home.
Napa was fun. Vaughn had a lot of down time & most of the events we could attend together.
We actually went in a hot air balloon too. I'm not one for adventures but it was worth it.
We visited several wineries & this night we went to a fancy dinner.
Kaden is doing really well in soccer. He's very cooperative & really getting in there. He is on the All American Jedi...could you imagine anything other than something Star Wars?
My kids can not stay out of the crib. They love to go get Scarlet when she wakes up.
Ashlyn showing off her Yellow Day project. Each month they have a different color theme, shape, letters, bible curriculum, bible verse, and character quality. I love the school so much & all of their fun filled activities. It makes it really hard to go to a public school after having such an incredible experience at this preschool. Thank God I really like Kaden's teacher this year. Do you know that Kaden's school says the Pledge of Allegiance every day & sang America the Beautiful at one of their assemblies?...I thought that stuff was long out of the public schools. Hopefully nobody complains about it or it will be gone before Ashlyn gets there.
Ashlyn at her tap/ballet dance class. She likes it okay. She doesn't complain about going but she says it's too long. I bribe her with a sucker to dance the entire time.
And now last but not least, our little Scarlet. She had a very busy month...actually, a very busy week. She decided in the couple of days we were gone to completely crawl all over the house, go from her belly to a sitting position & pull herself to a standing position. I couldn't believe it all happened so fast. We got back a few days before she turned 7 months. Then the rest of the month she perfected her stair climbing (with me behind her of course). I just hope she perfects climbing down soon too because it makes me nervous.

Oh my goodness, you have been busy! The kids are getting bigger and are so adorable! I love how cute Scarlett looks on the last picture, what a big girl she is!
