2 Peas in a Pod

Little Miss Emily is growing so fast. We are really enjoying her!

A new addition

Meet miss Emily Emma Kroening. (The boys couldn't agree on one name.) She is a Cavapoo. We actually got her about 3 weeks ago, but I keep forgetting to post about it. So far she is a GREAT dog, and has been SUPER easy to house train. The kids love her. =)

Report cards-

The good new is both of the boys are doing great. Here, they get O's (outstanding), S's (satisfactory), or N's (needs improvement.) Connor got almost all O's! Brennen got S's and S+'s but he got a 100% on his math assessment and is ahead of grade level for reading. I am SO impressed with his reading.
The bad (sad) news is that Connor's teacher said he is having trouble making friends and he ends up playing alone a lot of the time. =( I was actually kind of shocked to hear this because he's such a friendly, social guy. Not sure what I'm supposed to do?

Trick or Treat...

The kids had a great time last night. Connor was Wolverine from X-Men, Brennen was a dinosaur, and Makenna was a puppy (she has a major love of dogs.) First we went to cub scouts. Brennen won the prize for "most monstrous." After that we came home and went trick or treating. Makenna decided she was done after 2 blocks so the two of us went home and handed out candy.

County fair-

We decided to take the kids to the fair today since it was the last day they would be here. It cost $15 EACH for us to get in, but luckily all rides were included, so they got to ride them all (except the really scary ones.) They had a BLAST! We didn't play any games but I did take a lot of pictures of them on the rides.

Best investment...

I think the trampoline is the best toy ever. It definitely gets more use than any other toy. This is actually our second trampoline. The first one blew over and was ruined! =( The kids love love love it! You can see more pictures here.

Brennen lost his first tooth

Our little Brennen lost his first tooth last week. And then he lost his lost tooth! Somehow the tooth fairy knew, and left him $5 anyway.
