Our explorer!

  Rylen wanted to climb a Mountain today!

How can you deny what a beautiful state we live in.  Yestureday we decided to take a drive to Leavenworth.  It's only about 2 hours from our home.  Along the way we stopped at Wenatchee lake.  The day was calm beautiful and well worth the drive.

We are having a major rain storm this evening with loud thunder to top it off.  Rylen, Ava and I were looking out the window watching it and Ava asks "Is Jesus spitting outside?"  We followed up by a lesson of were we get rain from.  

Ava the character!  The other day Mike was getting Ava dressed to take Rylen to the school bus and he was helping her put on some knit pants.  She took the pants and pulled them all the way up to just under her chest and said "Look I'm grandma."  Mike said "do you mean my mom?"  "Yep, I'm grandma."  Be careful how you dress in front of her.

Yesturday I was asking the kids what they wanted to be for Halloween.  Ava said I want to be a ghost.  So we began to talk about how we would turn her into a ghost.  And then I asked Rylen what he wanted to dress up as.  He told me he wants to be ghost rider with red flame shooting off his hair and a chain.  Then Ava said "And daddy can be Barrak Obama".  I asked who? "Barrak Obama".  I just started to laugh!  What a character!  

Rylen's first day of school!  He's making some new friends and becoming more adjusted to a full day of school.  No phone calls so far the last two weeks!  He came home today asking me about the presidents of the United States and wanted to know if they were real or not.  So we looked at pictures of past and present presidents and talked about how they became presidents.  He saw a picture of President Kennedy and he had his arms folded in pray and it gave me the chance to explain to Rylen that our country was founded by men who believed in God.  What a cool thing to explain to my son.
