Wilson's Apple Orchard

We took the boys to Wilson's Apple Orchard. There were not very many apples, but we still managed to have a great time. We ran into the Stringham Family and took a tractor ride with them. The driver was none other than Mr. Wilson himself. We drove out into the orchard and ended up eating more apples than we picked. The boys were more interested in running, catching bugs, and throwing rocks. The highlight was eating the warm apple turnovers from the bakery, yum!

Soccer, Soccer, and more Soccer.....

Soccer has started, yippy!!!!! We will be spending 3 nights a week at practices and all day Saturday at the Soccer Fields for the next 2 months. Jared is coaching Nathan's team and is an assistant coach for Joshua's team. I am just soccer mom! Busy, busy, busy! We love it!

Free Food!

Now that my boys are in school, I have time to run all my errands without kids! This is what I was suppose to be doing one day last week. I was on my way to Walmart when I got a call from a friend of mine.

"Where are you?" "Hurry get over here as fast as you can!"

I thought something serious had happened. Turns out a new Chipotle was opening up in Iowa City. For one day they were giving away anything you wanted on the menu, for FREE! So my friends Jenn and Rebecca and I ran right over to get the good deal. Mind you, we had to wait in line for over an hour, with a bunch of college students. I am sure people were wondering why a bunch of Mom's were so excited about free food, but boy was it worth it. I had a huge burrito, chips and salsa and a drink and we didn't even pay a penny! Walmart had to wait!

First Day of School

I realized I hadn't included pictures of the First Day of School, and as all of you know in the blogging world, this is a must!!!! Nathan is now in 3rd grade and my little Joshua is in Kindergarten (full day!!). They were so excited for school and mom was too, although I was a little sad to send Joshua. I must say I held my composure until I got back to the car. They grow up so fast. Now what will I do with all my time?

Labor Day Gettaway

We took the boys to Omaha for the long weekend. We had a fun, relaxing time. We visited Winter Quarters and Jared and I did a session in the temple. We went to Cabellas (for 3 hours!!!!!) and ate at the Cheesecake Factory (yeah!). We spent a whole day at the Zoo. Of course this was the boys highlight and they didn't want to leave.

Family

After much poking and prodding I have decided to start a blog. Now I just want to give my disclaimer...... I am not promising anything. So if one day you find that I have deleted everything, you know I just couldn't work under all the pressure. No, seriously I think this could be fun and I love looking at my friends and families blogs. It is a easy way to stay in touch, so I will give it my best!
