We're Skipping September

The summer ended with both my boys finally able to jump off the diving board and swim unassisted to the side of the pool. Kaden took a lot of convincing, bribing, a small little prayer, and then he FINALLY did it. A few minutes later, Brandt jumped in himself (although he hadn't proved to us that he really could swim even in the deep end). Well he did it and it took no convincing, etc. So we ended summer with the hopes of becoming the next Michael Phelps.

We attended a few cattle shows where Macey got to show off her new duds from Grandma Beus. You can't really tell but she has some super cute pink boots on that she insists on wearing whenever she can.

School also started in September. What is that spot on Kaden's new clothes you might ask - well, it is breakfast. Or any meal he encounters. We always know what he ate for lunch, just by looking at his shirt. Soon my dear, the girls will not be so impressed. He is in Spectrum this year and doing well so far. I saw him at an assemble the first day and found that most of his classmates are double his size. He carries Beus genes solely - the Walker genes would put him in the back row for class pictures.

Loading up to catch the bus. Sure wish every morning would go that smoothly.

Brandt also started preschool 3 times a week for 2 1/2 hours that Macey and I get to kill time. At first I thought I was going to kill myself for signing him up and putting myself through that, but so far it has worked out well. Rachel and I get in some exercise, occasionally, while our kids are in preschool, and are now converted to biking shorts with those extra bottom cushions for our long bike rides. Brandt is just loving

preschool though and is SOO excited to tell me all about it each day.
Macey is almost 1 and 1/2. And you know what that means....NURSERY! And a chance to feel active again in Church. We can't wait. She has mastered all her animal sounds and loves to read books, suck on her bink, whine, drink strawberry milk and play with our new kitties outside. She LOVES her daddy and has trouble sharing him with me. All in all, it was a pretty good September.
