This week went by pretty slow. The kids still have runny noses, but not too bad. Zach and I both caught something. I have a really sore throat and a cough. Zach has more of the

nose/allergy stuff. We've both felt under the weather, so we've tried to go to bed early and rest as much as possible. We went to the cabin Saturday for the day. The kids played and then took naps. Cameron and Zach hiked down to the lake. Cameron got to pee in the water and thought that was really neat!! Boys!!

This morning we went to church and we are about to leave to go get Trevor's 9 month pictures taken. A teacher at my work takes pictures outdoors, so we are going to try her this time. Much cheaper and maybe some nice outdoor pics too. We're doing it at Willodene and Jim's house because they have such a nice yard. I hope Trevor looks at the camera some, rather than just eating grass. We shall see!! Then, if the kids are in good spirits (and we feel okay) we will go to a puppet show the church is putting on for the kids. Weekends just fly by too fast!

My first week of school has come and gone. It was a very tiring week!! I felt so exhausted each night. I always forget how tiring it is to teach kindergarten at the beginning of the year. So far, I think I have a pretty good class, so I'm looking forward to a good year.

We went to Kart Kountry on Saturday with the kids. Cameron loved playing mini-golf and then got to ride in go-karts and bumper boats. Trevor was too young for the go-karts, but they let him go on the bumper cars, both kids had to wear life vests. Trevor didn't like his at first, but once we got going on the boat, he was falling asleep from the noise and vibration. When the kids woke up from their naps, we took them to a nearby park to play. It was a really nice park, however, our stay was short-lived since we got a call saying Lennon had escaped again. So, we had to go get him. That night we got out the walker thing we have for Trevor. He walked with it with no problem. We videoed the first few tries. Now he can go back and forth across the entire downstairs!! He will be walking soon. I'm guessing in another month or so.

Today we went to our babysitters church. We really enjoyed it. Cameron screamed the whole way home because he wanted to go back! It was a very small church, lots of singing, and lots was said we could apply to our lives. Much different than the large church we have tried to go to. Trevor started getting a runny nose yesterday. Today it's still running like a faucet and his left eye is leaking a lot too. Hopefully he won't get too sick and this will run it's course and be gone soon! I would be really grateful if Cameron didn't catch it!

Erin's Visit

The kids are obviously both healthy now. They were sick for an entire week!! My sister came to visit last weekend. The night she arrived, Cameron had 106 temp. Luckily, it broke that night and never returned!

It was really great to see Erin! I wish she lived closer. Hopefully she will move here one day soon. Cameron absolutely adores her and wants her to do everything with him. The picture of him holding onto the rails is him watching Erin mow the grass. He was yelling for her to come back and wouldn't go in the cabin without her. So cute! We didn't do much while she was here, but we did spend a lot of time together with the kids and my mom and Erin. So, that was really nice. Erin, my mom and I went out on the Belle of Louisville. They do a lunch buffet and go up the Ohio River. I'll post a picture when I get one. My mom left a couple days ago to head back to California. She will be back in KY in October through the kids birthdays. The kids and I will really miss her.

I start school Monday, kids start Tuesday. My school is a mess with construction, it is going to be an interesting year. The boys and I went to Henry's Ark today to feed the animals, but it was closed, so we went to play with Wynton for a little bit and have lunch. Cameron loves seeing Wynton. Then, at nap time, the boys went with Zach to visit his parents. I'm home cleaning the entire house and my car. Fun, I know! I'm hoping to take some time to rest and maybe get some school work done as well. I'll post some other pictures of the weekend once I get some. I didn't have a camera, so I'm waiting on them from Erin and mom.

Trevor got his first sucker. It was Cameron's, but he left it on the floor and Trevor got it. I watched him to make sure he wouldn't choke, but he just loved it! He won't have another until Halloween. :)
