a few pictures.......

The Mullendore's came over the weekend of Labor Day and we decided to take a drive to the Beartooth Highway on Sun. The Beartooth Highway is the highest highway I believe in the US. It's really beautiful up there. It's cold (although you wouldn't be able to tell it from the way the boys are dressed) and stark in vegetation and the lakes are so crisp and clear. Unfortunately we didn't see much in the way of animal life (ususally a mountain goat or these ground squirrel type things can be seen), but fortunately no one got car sick (the boys and I usually need frequent stops!!!!) This is a picture from a turn-out place, where you can park and walk along a path that is kinda situated on the side of a very steep mountain. Fabulous views at the end viewing area!!

This is a picture of Cody's first day of school and his teacher coming out to greet the kids. I'm not sure why he's giving me this look, probably because I told him to smile (little stinker). He is absolutely loving school this year. His teacher is wonderful and encourages his enthusiasm(sp)! I volunteer in his class on Monday mornings and starting next week Tyler and I will have lunch with him on Mondays too, he's super excited. Cody got nominated as student of the month by his teacher and gets to have lunch with the Principal on Thurs. We are all very proud of him! He is excited to be having McDonald's on Thurs for lunch and oh yeah, lunch with the principal too! :)

This is Tyler after we got home from taking Cody to his first day. He loves to have his picture taken, at least for now! :) Tyler and I have a lot more time during the day to do stuff together while Cody is at school. The other day we went to the zoo with a friend of mine and her kids. We've already decided that, had we the choice, Tyler and Logyn (the little girl in the pictures) would get married when they're older!! They are seriously too cute together!! Here are some more pictures from that day at the zoo!........
