Where did August go???

Well again I'm a total slacker in the blog department and in looking at the date I'm wondering where did August go??? Being that it is September 1st I thought I would start the month off with a blog entry. Not much new going on around our house just busy with school, sporting events, and running. Life really seems to be the same everyday. Beckham and I still go to the Y so that I can run, we often hang out with friends for lunch or park group, and then at about 4:00 PM ( when kids get home from school) run wild trying to get the kids homework done and off to different sporting events. Fall is approaching and I can feel it in the morning air. I love this time of year-- fall brings college and high school football games, baseball playoffs, carmel apples and the beauty of changing leaves and fall colors. Before I get to ahead of myself and jump right into September and October, I need to recap some of August. Here are a few pictures from last month.

These pictures were taken by my mom at the Farm in Richfield. The kids in the back of Grandpa Mikes farm truck with Tucker the Wonder Dog (as grandpa Mike puts it).

First Days of school!!! I can't believe it is already the beginning of a new school year. Mckay and Mckinley were excited to start and be back with their friends. I was excited for them to start, because it keeps them busy and this means only one more school year and Jason will be done with school-- Yahoo!!

Jason has been busy working on his thesis and this means doing some lab work at home. Mckinley has become Jason's personal lab assistant. She just loves helping (I think mainly because she loves wearing the latex gloves) and learning about the teeth.

The other day I made chocolate chip cookies. The kids had to help. Mckinley insisted that we all wear our new aprons. Beckham had to wear one as well. He looks so dainty in his girly apron and basketball shorts.

Carefully pouring in the flour. Wow Becks it's a good thing we finally got your haircut!

Beckhams favorite part was eating all of the Chocolate Chips!
