Sawyer enjoying some DS time.

Timed to be weighed-no weight gain this week.

Britton doesn't look too happy.

Britton sure loves her baby dolls.

Hunter & Sawyer

On the 1st day of school our cookie making activity ended up being a great preschool
learning activity. First of all, Sawyer had to sound out and spell (with a little bit of help from mom) everyone's names in our family. Then he counted how many A's, B's, C's, etc. were used. He learned how to do tally marks to document this.

Great Preschool Lesson continued

Once Sawyer had the letter counts, he was ready to roll

out the dough and start cutting out letters.

Britton & Sawyer are

wearing Makenna and Bridger's old aprons from when

there were little. Sawyer was a little too big.

Ready to bake.

Setting out each message. Another good lesson--Sawyer had to spell
each name again.

Great Preschool Lesson & After School Snack

After the messages were on the table, we decided to graph the letters used.

It was fun to see which letters were used the most. I loved seeing Sawyer make

connections on his own--"Look, Mom. The A's and D's match -they both have three."

When the kids arrived home from school,

they were thrilled to see their cookie messages.

Enjoying the decorated cookies!

First Day of School -- August 24, 2010

4th grade -- Bridger

First grade -- Hunter

Ready for school!

Makenna's off to middle school!

September 10-11, 2010

After months of looking, finally found a double jogger that Sawyer fits comfortably in. Since I can't take him to the gym, I needed another exercise option.

Ten kids at our house this weekend! Our friends the Sillitos came to

visit this weekend. They have five girls-basically, the same ages as our

five kids! We all had a great time and were sad to see them leave.

Chemo # 5 -- September 8, 2010

Britton's so interested in what Sawyer's doing.

Time for vitals!

This was the only time Britton sat still--she was all over the place once

she was out of her stroller.

Britton loves her car and will scream and scream when it's time to go inside.

Labor Day -- Sept. 6, 2010

Heading out to Salamander Loop- a short hike only 4 miles from our house.

Sawyer enjoyed getting out.

Notice Bridger -- he's holding his ear because he was just stung by a bee.

Chemo # 4 -- September 1, 2010

Having fun while waiting for Dr. L.
