September 2013 part 1

September was so chuck full of fun that it needs 3 posts!  And saddest

of all....it went by too fast.  It has been getting colder, and there is just

this looming feeling in the air of winter coming.  Blah!  My goal is to 

try to enjoy winter this year and not get depressed!

Malia's first day of preschool!  She was so excited to
finally try out this thing called school. 

Cuties!  Seriously it is so fun watching these
girls grow.  I love this picture.

It's not easy to see, but the way Miss Amy is looking at
Malia, and Malia at her, is so sweet.  Malia is so trusting
and excited to be there.  

Onion Days!  Another year down at the crowded, dirty carnival
with all the creepy carnival workers :) Oh and Ben and I got so
sick riding the Ring of Fire with Riley...it goes around and around
and I nearly puked on the teenager sitting across from me, and
Ben did actually puke after the ride.

Aaahhh true love.

Gracie was not pleased to have these on, but she looks cool.

This is our "Gracie Tree".  We hope it will grow!  The plan is
to take a picture every year with Gracie next to the tree since
they were both babies at the same time. This is a poplar tree.

Onion Days parade, one of our favorite parts of Onion
Days.  We sit in front of our friends house and there is
a big potluck breakfast before the parade!  Love it.

The next three pics are all of Gracie, and I tried to pick just one
but they are each SO cute and there was no way to decide.

Photo bombed!  And I love how the flower is right in the
middle of her forehead.  That's not quite the look we were going for.

I love her face in this one!

These two will be wed someday.  It's already decided.  He
makes Gracie look tiny!  He is two months older.  I feel like Gracie is
chunking out, but this boy has won the chunk award for SURE.

Awe these kids are so cute.  Ben took these pics when I was
working and there were about ten pictures, and they were
making faces in all of them!  See below for two examples.
