Ahhhhh, September!

The weather here is finally giving us a break and not trying to smother us in humidity. As we weren't drnched the second we stepped out of the door, we decided to check out a local island/park. It was a beautiful day and the island is really peaceful, beatuiful, and full of history.

The rapids on the James River, really cool, the rocks that were behind me were full of swimmers/sunbathers

My little explorer
The shell of the old iron foundry that was built on the island immediately after it was used as a prisoner of war camp during the civil war
We got a little hot towards the end, so raivis got to wade a little in the James

On Labor Day Nik and I had the opportunity to go see Boise State University play Virginia Tech University in Washington DC. We had a ton of fun supporting our school, being the minority in the stadium. We met a lot of really great VA Tech fans that invited us to thier tailgate parties and stayed up until 4 AM cheering on the blue. Thanks Marc for helping us get the awesome seats!

My little guy, ready for game day! He loves his BSU beads, wears them all the time, we must be doing something right if he always wants to represent the boys in blue :)

We tried to get a good family game day picture but an airplane flew by, Raivis always has to find the airplanes
It had been a long time since I had been to a live BSU game, so much fun! I missed our stadium though, it is hard for me to watch a game without the blue turf in the background :)
Victory pic! I had way to much to drink, hence me wearing a baseball hat backwords

Other then that we are pretty boring. Getting chores done, working, studying, walking the dogs, day to day stuff. Nik has two medical school tests under his belt and did very well on both, we are so proud of him. Raivis is busy growing, playing, learning, and getting into trouble, everyday is a wonderful adventure. I have been working and loving on my boys every chance I get. Doesn't get much better then that does it?

We don't have much planned this week, just get the working thing done, Nik will tackle the studying thing in preperation for a test on the 27th, and enjoy the cooler weather. Happy Fall!
