Pumpkin Patch 2009

On Sunday Jared and I took Kellen, Ethan, Aiden, and Owen to a Pumpkin Patch. We had a great time! The boys were all tired out after running around all afternoon.

Chess

Jared found a Learn To Play Chess Set last week at Goodwill. He has wanted to teach the boys to play for awhile now. The boys seem to pick it up very quickly. Ethan thinking about his next move

Swimming Lessons

Every Sunday the boys have swimming lessons. They are held at the Middle School. The boys are in the same class this time but I think Kellen will move up when these are done. He is much more comfortable in the water than Ethan is. The back of the boy's heads in the pool

I did get some more pics but my lens got steamy. It was really hot in the pool area

On Saturday night we went to Jen and Alex's wedding. Jen is Jared's cousin. The wedding was held at Tyrol Basin and was outside. Even though it rained and was cold it was a beautiful wedding. April and Ethan dancing
