This is my little monster who likes to hide in the pillows on the couch.  It took me a few minutes to find him.  He is clutching a loaf of banana bread of which he has taken 5 or 6 bites.

Runge Nature Center is a new favorite place of ours.  This is the only picture I took before my camera ran out of batteries.  Worth it though.  Look at that cute little man!

POW! Watch out!

Welcome to Craziness!

Weird eye in the corner there...

Vampire Sydney needs to stop losing teeth and get some in! Lost 8, gained 2...

hmmmm....

Life is good with a little craziness.

Batman and Rainbow Dash had fun at the ward trunk-or-treat.  They got lots of candy and some crazy glasses. (Will post those pictures later.)  I wasn't watching Soren very well though...I was busy helping with pictures while Soren started stripping off his batman costume on the stage- putting on a show I suppose.  :)  Fun times.

Sydney's First Day of Kindergarten

School started Aug 16th, so I'm a little slow posting this.  Sydney's been having a great time.  Her biggest complaint the first day was that there wasn't enough time to eat lunch.  :)  She compensates by finishing it in the car on the way home.  When talking to her Grandma Jensen about school she said that she liked the boy who sits at her table.  I'm not so sure how I feel about that statement.  Yesterday, she said that her new best friend(girl in glasses and pink bow headband near Sydney in the class picture) and she decided to not sit by the boys and only sit by each other forever(during rug time, at lunch etc).  So I guess she's changed her mind a bit.

School's a big change for us all.  Soren and I have spent lots of time at parks and at playdates or playing tackle in the living room.  We're finally potty training and he's done great!  He's waking up dry and telling me when he needs to go and is only having one accident a day since starting on Friday.  Well, Friday we had accidents all day long, but the first day is always tough.  He's growing up too.

When we go to pick Sydney up, Soren always runs up to her and gives her a big hug.  He's pretty happy to see her, until we get into the car and she won't share what's left of her lunch.  Then he's not as happy.  :)

Life is good.

Love this pic of Syd and Bay!  :)  Cute friends.

We have been bowling a few times this summer and I realized we didn't take any pictures.  So I took my camera today and snapped a few shots.  Fun!  Where has the summer gone?!
