Stanley, Football Season, 5 Months

So over Labor Day weekend we took a drive up to Stanley to see Jared's parents' new home. Finally after many years of waiting for this home, it is finally almost done. It is beautiful! It will be nice to have a place to stay when we go up there to visit. We left both kids with Jared's parents on Saturday and we headed off to Boise to watch ISU vs. BSU....well, let's just say ISU didn't win. I can't believe that football season is already here! This is Jared's and my favorite time of the year, both for very different reasons...his is football, and mine are the holidays. Anyhow, we had a great time in Boise and it was nice to visit with friends we don't see too often. We made our way back to Stanley on Sunday and stayed over until Monday. We had fun taking the kids to the fish hatchery and to Redfish Lake. McKinlee absolutely LOVED feeding the fish at the hatchery. We had SNOW on Monday morning...I wasn't too thrilled about this, in fact, I was quite upset. I had only packed flip flops!!! My toes were frozen and we ended up leaving a little earlier than we had planned, but we still had a great time.

SNOW!

Logan turned 5 months yesterday. He is eating us out of house and home!!! Since he has started cereal he has also started in on vegetables. He loves them!! A normal dinner consists of a thing of peas, thing of squash, and a bowl of cereal. At this rate he will be bigger than McKinlee next week! He is rolling over all by himself! I guess this means I can't just leave him laying on the couch or on the bed all by himself. I was also hoping that I would only have 1 thumbsucker to have to deal with, well I was wrong. Logan has started preferring his thumb to the binky....oh well! I suppose that won't be the only thing he learns from his big sister! Here are some cute pictures of my kids...and as you can tell, he is already almost as big as McKinlee.

Sounds like a fun weekend. I'm excited about Football AND the holidays, but I really don't know if I'm ready for summer to be over! Next time you come to Boise, you need to let me know. I'd love to see you!

What a great weekend. I am so glad that you were able to have a great time. I have to laugh at the picture of Logan sitting on McKinnley...I have many pictures looking far to similar. I think it is so funny when the older siblings want to hold the babies still when they are about as big as they are. TOO CUTE!!!

Looks like lots of fun! And I can't believe how big Logan is getting. I love the picture where he's sitting on McKinlee's lap and he's almost her size! So cute!
