September Happenings and More

Last month I went to Chicago for New Director Education. This is a one-time training MK puts of for directors for them to attend within the first 6 months of their debut. It was a full 2 1/2 days. My favorite part was meeting top leaders that I've learned from over CDs, videos, etc. These people are my version of a celebrity. So that was very cool for me.

Emmett is doing swim and toddler gym, which is where the entire gymnastics area is opened up to kiddos to play around in. They say not to take pictures but I sneak a few now and then. 

Justin had his annual work awards/recognition night. In two out of the three years Justin has been at Davita he has earned their top award! It used to come with a $1,000 bonus but now all they give you is a plaque and a round of applause...what's up with that?? Show me the money! He is too modest, but from what little I DO understand about his work, he has done a lot to improve many reporting systems and all that blah blah. Good job honey!

 we went to a local crepe shop on our anniversary weekend - yum!

 he's so cute! fresh hair cut

Justin took me to my first concert EVER - to Coldplay! But we were pretty disappointed when the show started two HOURS late - yep. 

I snuck this picture. Emmett LOVES his uncle Joe!

 Mostly Justin and I have been helping Joe with one of his math classes...I used to love math. Now I really hate it!

My friend Kari is in Europe for the next 6 weeks and asked me to watch her kefir while she is away. I have been sharing my kefir smoothies with Emmett and we both love them! Kefir is basically fermented milk with billions upon billions of probiotics. Happy tummy happy life! 

some home improvements: I added fall wreaths outside and Justin and I put in a rock border around our house.

I've left Emmett with a couple different babysitters, and the report that has come back is, "I thought my boys were busy when they were this little but...." ha! I don't know any different. Sure he's busy. But it's funny to hear how everyone comments on his endless energy. Play hard, sleep hard (hopefully)!

 We went to a local pumpkin patch this weekend. Emmett rode a pony for about 30 seconds, we ate baked potatoes and corndogs, and it was the perfect fall day!

I am 20 weeks this week! This pregnancy is flying by. I am getting so excited to welcome this new baby in the spring.

Justin put on a pinewood derby at his work. He build the ramp and everything! He is so creative and when he wants to pull something off, he really pulls it off!
