Finally an Update!

Well, we are back to our normal schedule and to our own house. I guess we have been home for two weeks now, and we don't really have a normal schedule because it's always changing, but we are back at our own house. We had a great vacation in Utah and we are already looking forward to our Christmas trip!

Joseph started school on the 11th of August. He loves it of course and is always excited to learn new things....especially if they have to do with teeth! We miss having him around all of the time. I got used to it since he was off for an entire month. He is at school from 8 to 5 most days now so it's always fun when he comes home.

The first week that we were back was SO hot that we could hardly even stand to go outside. It has cooled down a little bit now so we can go out in the morning until lunch time and then it's nice again in the evenings. Joseph had a couple of hours off in the middle of the day on Tuesday so we went to the zoo for an hour. Kael was sad because we only got to go to two different parts of the zoo. So the next day when Joseph finished at lunch time we went back to the zoo! Kael was so excited. He loves to go and see the armadillo. He just sits and stares at it and laughs hysterically. Aidan just sits in the stroller and screams and laughs at it too. We also went on an outing to the Children's Museum on Friday while Joseph was at school. It was an adventure to take all three of them, but my friend Amanda came and helped me out. We have also stayed up until well past midnight for the last two weeks watching the Olympics. It has been really fun and we are sad that it is over tonight! But on the bright side...Joseph will be a dentist the next time there are summer olympics!

Here are a few pictures we have taken since we have been home....

FROGS!

The other day our neighbor Tyler caught four little frogs up in the garden and brought them down for the kids to see. All of the neighbor kids thought it was the greatest thing!
Here is one of the biggest and cutest kids in the neighborhood with his frog!
Kael's friend Sadie with two frogs on her leg. She is a funny little girl. She is always excited to see the creatures that her dad finds and brings home.
Aidan didn't really know how he felt about the frog!
Kael picking up one of the frogs
Look at the pure joy on his face! He was SO excited!

Kael and some of his girlfriends.....Cassidy, Shaylee, and SadieShowing off his frog!
This is what I saw when I looked towards our house! He is crazy and into EVERYTHING!!

This beauty is Tyler's other find in the garden! GROSS! He came to our house with it yesterday and tried to tell me that he found in on my door! It was SO huge! I really hate the bugs and spiders around here. Apparantly it is a Common Garden Spider!! Joseph is pretty sure that we saw one in a cage at the zoo the other day!

AHHHHHH!!!!!

Other exciting events for us:

KAEL.....starting school tomorrow! He goes everyday for three hours. He doesn't know if he wants to go our not. He also gave his first talk in primary and did awesome! He wasn't even scared!

AIDAN.....He can jump!! I know that doesn't sound like a big deal but it is! He is so funny! He is saying more things everyday and is eating us out of house and home! He wants to do EVERYTHING that Kael does!

OWEN....is out of control. He is crawling on his hands and knees everywhere. He can pull himself up to the furniture and walk along it. He climbs the stairs faster than I can. He can also clap, play pattycake, and do "So Big". He gives good open mouth kisses and jabbers constantly. He also wants to do everything that Kael does and also everything that Aidan does!
