A bunch of random

It's been a crazy month with a lot of great moments and a lot of gloomy moments.  It's been so hard with Molly gone.  I guess I didn't realize how quiet the house would be when the boys went to school and no Molly.  We spent the month remembering our baby girl and staying unbelievably busy!  Both boys are now officially school boys and they both love it!  Here are some pics from the month!

Two of my favorite things!  A friend of ours is opening up a brew pub in town and we have really enjoyed getting sample beers to try :)  Our camper has been awesome, now if we just had more time to use it more.....
The boys loved the campsite we went to, it was paved the whole way around a big loop and had hills.  We don't have any hills in Dillon so they were loving going super fast and racing, until Sawyer wrecked.
While we were camping we had to go to Crystal Park, this was our second trip there this summer.  The boys love digging for crystals and throwing dirt. 

I had to get the boys up early to help me for work one day and they had so much fun.  Nothing better than throwing rocks in the water in your pjs.
 This was our fair booth for the watershed committee I work for.  It turned out looking pretty good!
Labor Day Weekend was crazy again!  We had Grandpa O. come up to visit and had so much fun going to the fair and rodeo!  I did the Farmer's Market with my sewing stuff and had the watershed booth, it was exhausting...

The boys had fun on the rides, Garrett wasn't so sure at all when we first got there but by the end he didn't want to leave!
Sawyer was such a great big brother.  He helped Garrett on all the rides and even let Garrett have the front seat without a fight!
After Labor Day we had the first days of school!  Garret was first.  He started preschool and has been LOVING it!  He is so proud of himself and is catching on pretty quick.  There isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't say something to crack me up or make me shake my head at him, the kid is something else.

After Garrett's first day Sawyer had a bull riding event planned.  They rode the "bull" for probably an hour!
 Then Sawyer got his turn to start school, the big Kindergarten!  He was pretty nervous and excited, I was pretty nervous and excited...  He has a great teacher and so far seems like he likes it.  Sawyer is tough to get details out of.  He applied for and got a job at school, he is on the sound crew for assemblies!  He is such a great kid, always trying so hard to please everyone.
 Both boys off to school!
 No bull riding after Sawyer's first day of school, this kid crashed hard.  He was so tied he went to bed around 5pm.  We woke him up to eat and then he went back to bed.
 Nothing like watched tv in a box!  They used these boxes for few days, too cute.
 We spent a lot of time after the rodeo playing cowboys.  Garrett is pretty cute on his horse, Sawyer is bucking it from behind.
 Sawyer has homework every night, can you believe that in Kindergarten there is homework every night?  Good thing he likes doing it (most the time).

We took the boys out of school the first week to head to Boise with my family for the Hyde Park Street Fair.  This year my sister and I shared a booth and it was awesome.  So fun to be in the big city and hang out with family.
The boys love their cousin Mary.  They played on the giant bounce houses and got tattoos, it was a great weekend.  

We finished the weekend with dinner at Joe's Crab Shack.  This is a rare picture of my family!  The boys got steam pots with crab legs, Sawyer wasn't so sure but Garrett loved it!  
 And now we are heading to flag football on the weekends.  Sawyer thinks he is so tough pointing at the other team.  There have been a few tears, just not sure football is really Sawyer's thing.  He loves chasing kids but doesn't like getting hurt, can't blame him?
Last but not least, we finally got Molly's ashes back (what a long process!) and took her up to be in the mountains.  This is her favorite swimming hole.  It was good to say goodbye and leave her in such a beautiful place.  Sorry I just miss her so much!
We have a big month coming up!  A couple of craft shows, more flag football and a couple of work trips.  We also have pretty big surprise coming towards the end of the month, stay tuned!
