September was an interesting month of learning our new routine with Jonah in kindergarten every morning and Wyatt going to preschool two afternoons a week, and me trying to get Emmett to nap somewhere in between the coming and going. Max was also trying to get into the groove of his new, very busy job. Still we found time to play as we always do and it's way more fun to record playing than figuring out routines.
Max and I ran the "Dirty Dash" at Soldier Hollow with our good friends, the McQueens. We are so blessed to have awesome friends who like to play with us. Seriously, how many couple-friends do you have where you and your husband were friends with both the husband and the wife before you or they even became husband and wife. We've got several of those because we worked on the river. It's great. Plus, these friends love getting dirty as much as we do--whether it's camping, river running, or sloshing through a muddy race.
Our team was called "Ham Slamma Jamma" and you can't see it, but we had a drawing of a pig making a slam dunk on our shirts.
I couldn't go for the full dunk--good thing too because Ashly did and couldn't open her eyes at all for a few minutes and I had to lead her through that final mud hole.
We took a fall hike through Cascade Springs on a lazy Saturday afternoon.
Since Jonah and Wyatt are arguing or bugging each other at least 50% of the time, it's good to catch the other 50% on film.
Jonah and Wyatt also played soccer in September and October. Because of their ages, they got to be on the same team one last time. From here on it probably won't be that way because of grade level, but they had a lot of fun on the same team.
It was a good little team too. All boys and all pretty aggressive with the ball. They won all but one or two of their games. They also had a great coach who rotated them in and out well and made it fun. It was a good experience, so they want to do it again next year. I loved how, unlike Iowa where it was 5 on 5, here it was only 3 on 3--6 kids running after and crowding the ball is much more manageable than 10. 
And I'm too cheap to buy the soccer package photos, especially since I spent a pretty penny on my own camera. So these will do.
