fall is in the air

so i didn't get to have my semi annual cinnamon roll party. that was a bummer. i missed the fun and not to mention the cinnamon rolls! we did have a good weekend though. kurtis has had football games every saturday for a while now. so besides the game, it was a relaxing time at home....much needed not to mention. it seems like we are going somewhere and doing something all the time.
the kids are doing well. they are all growing at the same time. all of the sudden, everyones clothes are too small. chuck is still enjoying school. he's busy, but we all manage. blake is loving pre-K. he thinks he's just such a big boy now. kurtis is doing well in 2nd grade. he's made lots of friends this year and is having a fun time. football is still fun too. jared is getting big. well, not that big. he's a little guy. kurtis and blake were always so big. jared is our little one. chuck says he takes after my genes. that would actually be sad. his brothers are huge and then he's tiny. hopefully he'll catch up. either way, he'll be tough as nails. i've been hanging out with lauren and our friends alot. we do lunch or just go run errands or something. larry, lauren's husband is in Iraq. he left last month. so we've been keeping lauren busy. we've been having a good time. for one of our friends birthdays, we went to see a Boyz II Men concert. they were playing at the fair! since they were there, we only had to pay the admission price to the fair. it was a great concert! loved it. and on top of that, our other friend melani, who loves Boyz II Men, got a back stage pass to meet them!!!! i think she cried 3-4 times afterwards from sheer happiness...not kidding.
well, october is here...and it's still too hot here. that is one thing about oklahoma. i'm always so ready for it to cool down. but in washington, in the spring, it doesn't warm up fast enough. oh well. i did see a few trees' leaves changing colors this morning. we've made our halloween wreath and hung up the skeletons and the lights. the kids really like it. it's so fun for them. i better get dinner going. yea....fall is in the air.

Ape... OMG... Kurtis is HUGE! I can't believe how mature he looks. He looks just like Chuck did when I first met him in '98. Your family is adorable! So good to catch up on things, keep 'em coming!
AMBER

Boyz II Men? Cool! I think the most famous person that came to our fair this year was Raven, from "That's So Raven". Sounds like you are busy and your family is happy..what else could one want? :)

I am glad you are all doing well. Boyz II Men, huh? The gals around here are getting ready for November when New Kids on the Block come to the Tacoma dome. Its a crazy world when all the boy bands from yesterday make comebacks.
The boys are looking happy. I am sorry that Jared is smaller. I am sure he will catch up soon enough but you should enjoy it while it lasts.
Have a great day girl!!

Okay, so you had to mention the cinnamon rolls...well, um I kind of did it here in Spokane! Yeah, I started it and three of us (yes, my walking buddies and I) made our cinnamon rolls. They turned out just right and all my boys were in heaven!
I thought of you and the other Pullman girls and was a little sad though. Ah, the memories!

The boys II men thing is hysterical. It sounds like fun. So I had a cinnamon roll party and no one made dough and minimal snacks. I don't understand. Isn't food important to these people!?
