This silly dog has all our hearts.  He goes with us basically everywhere and has proved to be the best dog ever.  

Fall is in the air - and on the trees.  It comes so quickly and is over so quickly that we have to document it.  It's beautiful to see the colors on the trees, especially out in The Butte!

This funny guy thinks he is about as hilarious as everyone else does and when he is cracked up by something we have to do it about 300 times just so we can enjoy watching him enjoy it. 

Brigham makes the best faces. 

This month in our school studies we have taken up bird watching.  There are so many amazing different kinds of migratory birds here.  Daddy likes to sing "Migratory Birds!!" and we are all on the watch for them. 

Ksenya is so sweet that we have to document when she shows even a little bit of sass - this look made me laugh so hard! 

We went up Hatcher's Pass and found a new trail that we haven't taken before.  The views from the top were spectacular and the world felt so BIG from up there!!!

Kabe set a goal to learn how to make something new so we got on the phone with Aunt Jeri and he was given specific instructions and look what he made - all by himself!

Exciting progress is being made on the house.  We can now go down into the hole in the ground!!!

We have been learning to sew and each of the kids made their own pillowcase this month.  They are so smart and it is fun to learn new skills together.  

Look!  Walls - above ground and window wells waiting to go in.  

Brig continues to progress in his scouting and really loves his activities. 

Framing is so fast.  It's amazing to watch the progress and we will start helping a lot more now that there are actual walls in place. 

The little three decided that they were pirates and their bed was the ship.  They kept making each other walk the plank and it was a fun game to watch.
