Busy Fall Festivities...

As I mentioned before October is full of events that keep the Boyen Bunch quite busy. We've had something to do every week and every weekend.  From the little ones showing off their art talent, to the big ones showing off their musical talents, there has been lots of reasons to be a proud mama.

My last post, This Moment, shared a precious moment caught on film by a fellow parent, a dad in fact, on the field trip to the pumpkin patch with Lorelei.  A moment literally frozen in time, thankfully.  Here are some more moments captured this month...




First fire of the fall.

A concert at O'Connor for Bailey.

Lorelei's field trip to the pumpkin patch.

Jonas the artist...selected for the local art show.

Lorelei the artist, also selected for the art show.


A quick trip to the pumpkin patch with cousin Brieley.

Savannah's first concert with orchestra.

Bailey's quintet, The Roamin Gladiators.  Like his costume...he's a German boy.

Concerts are exhausting for both Jonas...

And Lorelei!

Birthday traditions continue...the breakfast table all decorated for Bailey's 14th birthday!

Birthday pancakes!

His favorite dinner...sushi!  And that's a moon pie for dessert.


Looking mighty handsome for his YOSA Fall concert.  Also looking a bit like a fancy waiter! ;)

An amazing performance...(Best shot I could get!  I really need a new camera, not just my iPhone!)

May I take your order...:)

I asked him now that he was finished playing for the orchestra if he could please take my order already!

More moments are on their way...Halloween is Thursday and Jonas' 8th birthday is Saturday and he's having a camping themed party that day!  Looking forward to a fun evening celebrating our awesome little guy!

Ziplining!

Helotes Hill Country Zipline ...did you even know this place existed?  I know I have driven past the sign on Bandera Road, but honestly never paid much attention.  Because really, how awesome of a place can it be just two miles from my house?  I realize my house is on a hill and I know there are several large hills in our area, but I didn't realize what was literally in my own back yard. A sweet boy from Savannah's 8th grade Science class has been persistently pestering her to go ziplining with him.  She tried to say no a dozen times, in a dozen different ways.  She finally agreed last minute when she asked if she could bring someone.  After a few tries of different friends, she settled on her daddy!  He's an adventure junky, and honestly in the last 10 years, hasn't had a whole lot of adventure.  Lorelei and I went along to take pictures and watch.  It looked exhilarating and breathtaking, but with my fear of heights, I said a polite, ...

"Spring" into Summer

I've officially been on summer vacation for a week now, even though technically, according to the calendar, it's still spring. It's the earliest I've ever gotten out of school as a teacher. Can't decide if I like it or not! The kids have been done with their semester since the beginning of May, although Savannah's graduate program never really ends, so she's still knee-deep in classes, exams, and labs. We are inching our way into summer, more than "springing" into it. The usual "mayhem" of Maycember seemed more "peace"ful this year (see what I did there?), although we did squeeze a lot into April and May. March wrapped up with my second Spring Break with Jonas and Lorelei. Lorelei met with a specialist in Houston, so we had a mini trip just the two of us.  When we got home, Jonas was able to get a ride back to spend some time at home. We had a fun day in San Antonio doing some of our favorite things.  Nowhere Bookshop... Train r...

A fall full of fun...

Christmas is springing up all over. Even at school, our Principal has already put up our foyer tree and decorated the front office. Last year, the countdown sign went up with 40 days until Christmas; this year's says 48!  I've barely recovered from October! I think I'm going to need a minute before I can embrace the next holiday season. I'm still enjoying my fall mantle for now.  We did cram October full of fall fun. From new college adventures to old traditions at home.  The first weekend in October, we mixed things up a bit by heading to a movie on the lawn at The Rock at La Cantera. If you haven't been and live in SA, you must give it a try. We had perfect weather that evening.  Lorelei bravely went and got her first tattoo the next day. She picked a bundle of sweet pea flowers in honor of me. I call her sweet pea, especially through text when I tell her goodnight.  Jonas had his first official bike race. He and his team got some practice in on a race just no...
