October?? Already??

I have seriously been terribly horrible on posting on our family blog. September flew by, and now October is flying by before our eyes. I can't believe it is half way over already. I was at the bank today making a deposit, and couldn't remember the date to put on the deposit slip. I looked up at their calendar to check, it's already the 17th!! We are looking forward to Halloween this year. The kids are going to be Mickey & Minnie. I just have to make Chloe's tutu and sew some ears on a beanie for Ian. Super easy costumes is the way to go.
We have really been enjoying our fall this year. It seems like most of the time their isn't much of a fall time. It's been great this year. A little bit of rain here and there, but it's been warm, a little breezy and cooler in the mornings and evenings. We couldn't of asked for a better September/October this year. Now if it can hold out until both our dad's are done with harvest. That would be fantastic!
Ian is doing great in therapy. He loves going to the clinic once a week. We go on Tuesdays now, and this is great because they do a lot of social interaction with the other kids there. There is a little boy named Preston that I think is about 5 or 6 that Ian loves to play with. Dani said that this last time Ian and Preston played with legos for quite a while together. There was a little book to help you build certain towers and such. Ian worked on studying that book then putting the legos together the way the book was. ( Genius child on our hands). Preston was so funny and telling Ian just build not look at book. Lol. I just love that he plays and interacts with Preston. Ian loves preschool at the CRC as well. He is doing great there and getting into a routine there as well. Ian is doing wonderful with Dani too. It's amazing how far he has come since June.
Chloe is busy, busy busy. She loves to put on a show. She will dance, jump on the tramp, precedes to clap for herself , then won't stop clapping until you clap for her. The other day I was showing her a cheerleader kick ( I learned in high school :) ) She loves doing it now. She kicks her leg up and says "wahoo" all the time now. Chloe has recently started liking coloring. Oh and the other day while Ian was going potty, Chloe was in the bathroom with him and I. After Ian was done, Chloe wanted a turn. She went potty on the toilet for the first time, but I haven't go her to go again. It's a start thought, right??
Matthew has been crazy busy. He works in Greybull on Mondays now with Dr.Gotfredson, and still Tuesdays through Friday's in Powell. This is keeping him extra busy, but it's been great for him. He is loving being a vet. I think he is rocking it for sure. Last weekend he got to go up to Pryor with his grandpa to vaccinate some of his cows. He enjoyed riding all day in the beautiful Pryors. 
Me ( Charlene) I am doing great! Staying super busy being a mom, wife, cooking/cleaning, serving in the yw presidency, helping with the ward craft night, posting on my website and loving life like always. 

We bought a new car. We got a 2013 Chevy Tahoe, and we love it. The kids even approve. We spend a lot of time in it during the week. Driving to Billings, to and from preschool .

Ian got to go ride in the tractor with my dad a few weeks ago during beet harvest. They both were having way to much fun when I called to check on Ian. Lots of giggling going on.

I canned tomatoes for the first time this year. They are actually super easy, and all my jars sealed.

Ian loves riding horses. We are going to have to saddle up a horse more often for him. I think this could be therapeutic for him.

We got a new/old dog. Matthew brought Sadie home from the clinic because they never had a owner come claim her. We really like her, and she is so good with the kids.

Chloe loves horses too!

Chloe loves to attack Ian. Ian is so sweet with her, and just kisses her most of the time.

I am loving the infinity scarves my sister and I made while we skyped yesterday!
