This is a picture Doug took while mountain biking with his friends on September 7th. Pretty cool huh? I thought so. The other day we went to Buffalo Inn to eat some buffalo burgers with Matt and Ryan Bentley. I had never been there before even though it is a historic stop along famous route 66. I enjoyed the guitarist there and really liked my buffalo burger. If you haven't been there yet either you should go!
We have been keeping plenty busy. With school, church, scouts (cub and brownies), soccer, and me working we have been swamped. I am happy to report that we are getting into the swing of things though and life isn't as overwhelming as it was for me a couple weeks ago. Preston is playing soccer and is on the Stingers team. They had their first game on Saturday and tied. I have a feeling they are going to be a great team! Chloe is busy with Brownie Scouts. She loves it! I am one of her two Brownie leaders. I enjoy planning and doing the fun activities with the girls. We have 14 girls in our troop so we are busy. So far we have toured Jamba Juice, had a salon party, tie dyed socks, made rainbow clouds, and made friendship bracelets. This Friday is our Investiture Ceremony. Derek is also playing soccer. He is on the Minions team and I am his Coach. Doug is a coach for Preston's team too. JohnPaul Jones is my Assistant Coach and he has been the best thing since sliced bread! Derek's team had their first game on Saturday too and we lost. Bummer in the summer. We are a good team though and I have confidence that will rule the field soon enough.
Us Farnsworth's are looking forward to Halloween already. Doug has agreed to dress up this year! Douglas is going to be a
VAMPIRE (not from twilight though)!
Preston is going to be
THE MAD HATTER (yep, the Johnny Depp version)!
Chloe is going to be a 
VAMPIRE (not from twilight either though)!
Derek is going to be 
YOSHI!
And since the preschool staff is dressing up in a Toy Story 3 theme, I will be 
BARBIE!
I am excited for Halloween and for all things fall!
Every year we go to Jenks Lake near big Bear for Labor Day with the Murrish's. We love it. We spend the day picnicking, visiting, and most importantly canoing.
Chloe and I on our first trip around the lake.
Preston and his buddy had a blast on the lake. **Just a note, Preston stayed in the canoe the 4 hours we were on the lake. I do not he think he ever came out. he loved giving himself as well as others rides around the lake.
Last year Derek was a little afraid of the rocking canoes and never really enjoyed his time in them. This year he was all smiles on his first trip.
Chloe had fun playing with Gracie and going on a walk on the other side of the lake too .
The next time Derek went out in a canoe he was so comfortable that he wanted to help row! I love it! I am so glad that he loves canoing too. I love these sweet adorable shots of Father and Son on the lake. Enjoy!
I enjoyed going around the lake with Preston. I loved that he would row out to a marshy section and stop and look at the fish for several minutes. The water was so clear that in some places you could see clear to the bottom. Preston was also nice and courteous to the fishermen. He chatted with a few of them and wished them the best of luck in their fishing. Preston also noticed a couple of little boys that were watching the canoes in awe. He kindly asked them if they would like a ride and got both his parents and the other boys' dad to agree to it.
I will leave you with my favorite picture from the whole day. Chloe and Derek had so much fun playing and laughing and swimming together while everyone else was in the canoes. Doug took the best picture of the two of them. These two really are such cute friends.
