Howdy! That's Channing's new word. He heard Justin use it and now he likes to say, "howdy!" Channing's first day of Pre-K was August 29th. It's about a 1/2 mile away and so we like to walk when we can. Channing rides his bike or scooter. So far every time I've picked him he tells me how much fun he had. I'm so glad that he's liking his class and teacher. He did AMAZING the first time I dropped him off. He just walked right in the door and said, "bye mom!"
On September 2nd, labor day weekend, the Crawford's invited us boating. We loved going on the tube. Channing tried out the EZ wake trainer and did awesome! He even fell off at the end and was not phased at all! We didn't expect him to try standing up but he surprised us all and stood up with no problem! I got to try the wake board and that was fun. Sure do love having family with a boat! :)

| Happy as can be after falling off the EZ wake trainer. I was probably more nervous about it than him! |

| These cousins have so much fun together. I can't wait to get a picture of them just like this one in 5 years when they'll all be much bigger! |
On Sunday night Justin set up a campout for the kids in the backyard. This has become his Labor Day tradition with the kids. We roasted hot dogs and smores.

It's been so fun to see how much Channing loves Isaac. Channing loves to tickle him, sing to him, lay next to him, hold him, or just talk to Isaac. I hope they will be best friends!
For the past 2 weeks Channing and Mckenzie have been trying to fill a jar with rocks by doing extra chores or good deeds. Yesterday they reached the top and we took them bowling and out to ice cream. It's been a really good motivator for Channing. He was much better at listening and helping out. And if you threatened to take a rock out of the jar he sure responded! The next goal is to fill the jar again and we'll take them to Wahooz. We'll see how it goes for round #2.
Today Channing and his neighbor friends found a gopher snake in our backyard. This is the third snake we've found in our yard. The others were small, this one was a little over 4 feet. The kids are in heaven but I think snakes are creepy. Maybe because we didn't have any snakes growing up in Hawaii so I'm super not used to seeing them in the wild. The snake slithered into a grassy spot behind our house and Justin caught it so the kids could touch it.

The sun is setting earlier and earlier these days which means Fall is on it's way! Channing has asked me everyday for over a week when we can make his Halloween costume. He wants to be a black widow spider. Which means I got to get creative!
