Sweet September!!! Where did the time go!??

Wow, September just flew by didn't it??

Our September started off to Island Park and Yellowstone, we got to spend a week camping with my mom and even Paul came up for a few days

We did drive into the park one day and walked around a few of the pools here is one of my favorite pics from the trip

While camping we just had fun relaxing and being outside, we love camping so it was fun to be able to go at all. Even though we missed the Viehweg week in August we still had a great time. However as we were driving there I thought it was kind of funny we were going to be leaving our VERY green forested home here in Olympia to go to a different less green forest, usually isn't it the other way around? Anyway....Josh was happy to get to fly fish which was really what the whole trip was about.

This little girl was such a trooper, she did her best to tolerate the drive home, we did all of it in one day....that makes for a VERY long day in the car.

Keegan actually missed the 1st (half) week of school so the night we got home from camping (really late, almost midnight) we threw the kids into bed and hurried and unpacked the car so that we could get up bright and early for Keegan's 1st day as a second grader!! I can't believe I have a second grader!! As you can see in the picture, his walking shoe for his cast is covered in duct tape....We found out that it only takes 8 days for a young active boy to blow out his walking shoe so we got resourceful.....

After spending 4 weeks in a cast that included playing and sweating outside everyday and a week long camping trip this kid needed a new cast, even if it was only for 10 days. The office at the childrens hospital was great and so helpful. They told us in the begining that they fully expected to do at least 1 cast change if not 2. So with only 10 days to go he got this new lime green beauty. He liked this since he could now have the kids at school sign it. Funny little boy came home the first day with nothing but girls signatures.

September also means salmon fishing, this year has been a bit tougher than the last. There are a lot of......interesting red neck hill billy's here in WA. Josh is having a hard time enjoying fishing with people who have no manners so we end up going way up stream from them where we found fishermen who don't wear camo everything and some even have shirts with collars on them.

Also in September, this girl officially decided to start walking EVERYWHERE. Instead of just a few wobbly steps then back to crawling, her preferred mode of travel is walking. you can often find her doing laps around our island or....sitting IN my dishwasher. If she hears me open it up she comes walking as fast as her drunken sailor legs can take her.

Because I was soooo excited for Fall some friends and I got together to start on some Halloween decorations, I had a ton of jars that my mom brought so we decided to put them and Pinterest to good use.

Finally, Josh got his electric piano. We sold our real piano in January and had just been holding out till Costco got theirs in stock again. Josh is happy and so is Carleigh, she quickly learned that #1 she can pull herself up onto a chair #2 she figured out how to turn it on and start playing and #3 falling off the chair is no fun..

*Keegan* Funnies

"Mom, do you know how I see things? There are little guys in my head taking pictures of what I'm looking at and then they send them to my brain"

Early this morning Keegan came running out of his room with a shoe in his had and yelled "MOM there's a bug in my pants!!" I asked "there's a bug in your pants?" He responded, "not these pants, the ones on my floor, I saw it, and thought it was a running arrow, but it's a bug"

Uncle Jon works at the Costco that George Bush was doing a book signing at. Keegan was talking to Jon on the phone and I told Keegan to ask Jon if he saw President Bush. Keegan quickly ask "Jon, did you see a president in a bush?"

He's been saying this for a while now but it still makes me laugh. If you say to him "You don't say" he ALWAYS responds with "OH, I'll say alright!"

Today Keegan told me "Watch out mommy, I'm coming in hot" he then jumped from the coffee table to the couch. When I asked him if he even knew what that meant and he told me "it means I'm going really fast and it will be hard to stop"

When I was unsure of the pool temp he didn't hesitate and jumped in. When he saw that I was still standing on the side he said "jump in mommy, it's refreshing"

Keegan and his best bud had a bit of a disagreement and Keegs ended up with a 1 inch gash in his head. (He's fine) But when I asked him if he was mad at Evan he replied "No, but he sure was mad at me!"

Not a "funny" but just a note, while we were in Mexico Keegan learned to say his "K" and "C's". So he no longer calls himself "Teenan" and Koda is no longer "Toda" It was such a shock to hear him ask us how was "MexiCO" not "MexiTo"

I have resorted to washing Keegans mouth out with a tiny bit of soap when he argues. Afterwards I was talking to him explaining that arguing isn't good and that the soap tastes yucky right?? He looked at me and said "Well, it doesn't taste GOOD"!!

The other day Keegan fell out of my mom's really tall truck. When he was asked if he got hurt on the truck he said, "No, it was the ground that hurt me"!

**Warning, not really funny, but still so funny at the time, maybe shocking is the right word**

Keegan dropped the "F" bomb today, totally random and so unlike him that I didn't believe he actually said what I thought he did. I actually made him say it again to see if heard him right. So despite me and Josh laughing we had to tell him it wasn't funny and that if he ever said it again he would go to time out for a long long time.

He got a watch for Christmas, if you ask him what time it is he often says "here, you look at it" It is a digital watch and will read the #'s individually if there is a 3 anywhere in the time he thinks they are E's So the other day it was 4 "E"7

Josh was helping him put on the ONLY pair of pants that actually fit and don't fall down. Keegan doesn't unsnap the snap and was struggling to get them over his keester so he said "my butt is too big" If you have actually seen Keegan you know that is NOT the case.

He often asks me how fast different animals can run, he usually wants me to tell him if it is faster or slower than Koda.

I told Keegan his drawers were falling down, he turned to me and said "What???? my drawers???" he then immediately ran upstairs and pushed in his dresser drawers.

Keegan asked if Grandpa Dan was up in heaven? I told him yes. He asked if he was up in the stars and clouds? I said yes. He then asked, when he is done in his rocket can he come back down?

Keegan got to meet Elmo at Sea World, he ran up and gave him a huge hug. Afterward he told me that "I gave Elmo a hug and didn't even poke him in the eye"

When his finger nails get to long he tells me he has "girl nails"

While on vacation, he asked if we were going to the beach that day, I told him "No we are going to Sea World today" he started to cry and then told me he didn't wan't to go to Sea World that he wanted to go to Wal-Mart.

While out one day a little girl called to her mommy and Keegan turned to me and said "Mommy she said your name"

I had asked Keegan for another kiss this morning and he replied "Nope, only one kiss today."

"Mom, there is something in my flip-flop!!" I ask, what is it? Get it out. He replies "my foot"

"Pa" is going pee, but he doesn't need my step stool betause he is very tall."
