October 09

I could just call this Ben's month! He started with his birthday party with some friends, Chipotle burritos and a trip to the movie theater to see the new Star Trek.His actual birthday was a couple days later. (That's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which he really enjoyed.)He ran in a lot of cross country meets.
And he performed in the choir concert with the Sunrise Singers, so-called because they meet during 'zero hour,' aka the hour before school starts. He alternates attending Sunrise and Wind Symphony (his band class) because they are both zero-hour classes.



September 09

September started off with Tim's 9th birthday.
Here's some of the produce from my rabbit-fortress square-foot gardens. (The cereal box is there for size comparison. Those zucchinis are about the size of my thigh!)Tim's birthday party came about a week after his birthday, and consisted of an outing with his friends.Soccer season was in full force, with a game every Saturday. Both Tim and Nate played.At the pack meeting, Tim earned his Wolf badge.

August 09

In August, we went to Six Flags.

We went on another hike with the Cubs.We went bowling (well, we went bowling all summer, but in August Charles went too).Ben went to Band camp.We went to the Scout Court of Honor, and all 3 of our scouts received badges.

Utah visit

After the family reunion, we traveled to Utah for a few days. While there we visited BYU and the Walter Wick (I Spy) exhibit.We also went to the Oquirrh Mountain temple open house.

We did get to visit with Maki's family.And we visited the Prices, and toured Kennecott.

Yellowstone family reunion

The Wren clan all stayed in a log home that Dad rented. (Unfortunately, Maki and her fam did not make it.) We had a talent night, played games, read, did puzzles and chatted. And we visited so many many cool Yellowstone sights! So just a few random photos in this post...

June 2009

In June we did a clean-up service project with the Cub Scouts.

Greg graduated from 5th grade.
Nate lost his first tooth.
Tim went to Cub Scout Day Camp.And we got in the van and drove to Yellowstone!
Where apparently, a kid can be a kid...
