Happy Fall!!

We have been slightly busy but boring people. I'm still adjusting to getting up before 7:00 to get Bailee ready for school, and then helping Braden get ready for preschool on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Luckily I have a carpool going so I only drive across town for preschool once a day instead of twice. Braden is really loving school and is learning shapes and letters. I'm glad Braden is having this chance to get out of the house and make new friends and learning. It's crazy to think he will be 5 on October 15. Time goes by so fast.
Bailee is still loving first grade and today they are taking a field trip to the dairy. Sounds like alot of fun. Bailee is our little reader, and reads US stories at bedtime. We are putting her in ballet and tap. She loves to dance around the house so I'm sure she'll love it.
Malia is our little ray of sunshine. She is always running around the house jabbering and making messes. Her new favorite thing to do is go through our drawers in the bathroom and take everything out and find new places to put them. Also, she loves sitting in the shower especially after we are done. Its funny what the tiny things will make them so happy. Who needs TOYS!
Every friday the family goes to the Jerome High School football games. I guess I knew what I was getting into when I married Cameron. He just loves FOOTBALL. It not that bad to sit and watch and its much better than watching football on TV.
Football means that fall is here and I love Fall. It is my favorite season. I love the cooler weather where I can wear my favorite thing: Sweaters! I also like to decorate for the holidays and my house is already decorated for fall and Halloween. I know its early but it makes our home look so festive. Our trees are starting to turn colors and I love seeing the bright red, orange and yellow leaves everywhere. Maybe thats why my house is decorated with the color red. I only wish we could have fall weather a little longer and not have such a long,cold, diery winter. Oh well we can look forward to Christmas and that makes it better!

Mary, it is so neat to see you and your family move on to the next chapter in your lives! Your family has grown up so much since you left Pocatello! Your blog gives me hope that someday we will live in a place called "home" in a real house that we can raise our family for a long long time! Happy Fall!!! My favorite season too!

I wish I had some decorative things for this season. I'm so boring, and my house looks the same as always! I do love to look at the big tree in front of our house, as the leaves change colors!

What's that like having so much time alone with Malia, now that BOTH kids go to school? I guess it's not THAT much time, but still. I bet it's nice to spend time just with her.

Cute blog background. It looks great. Sounds like you guys are doing well. I'm jealous you have fall and Halloween decorations. I don't have any. I can't even finish decorating my house. I did buy some stuff for my Christmas tree today! Yeah! I'm so excited.

I love fall, too. Not because of sweaters though, I just love the colors of fall ( and that my garden is DONE and I don't have to worry about it any more!!! ).

I have to agree with comments about fall...I love it, too. I haven't got my house decorated yet, maybe this week. Come and get corn stalks and pumpkins if you want them.

I love to bundle up in a sweater too. Fall is such a cozy time. I'm sure your house looks darling all decorated for the season. You have a knack for that sort of thing. Our poor house doesn't have anything for fall yet. I'm just trying to fill it up with regular decor first without going broke :). You should post pix of your house - maybe you'll inspire me.
