Final weekend in September

Well this weekend we had a lot of fun catching up with friends. We had Todd and Jill over on Saturday and then headed to the Brad and Carries on Sunday. All of the kids LOVE playing together and are so sad when our time comes to an end. We got to meet the newest member to the clan on Sunday. Baby Jordan is beautiful!!! Congrats Marcus and Andrea on your newest addition.

Grandpa turns 60!

Now when the boys say Grandpa is "as old as dirt" we can agree! Just kidding Grandpa:) Yesterday Grandpa turned the big 60! He still seems as young as ever and said that it didn't bother him a bit and he doesn't feel any different. The kids got him a cane with a horn on it as a joke and he played along with them which made them laugh. We had a fun night with the family. Happy Birthday Grandpa, We love you!

Bug's 1st day of school

Well our little Bug started his first day of school today. He has been waiting to go back to school since last April and was so excited that his day finally came. I stayed with him for awhile to see how it went but he was so busy he barely noticed I was there. By the time I left he was having so much fun doing art that I almost didn't get a goodbye. We are so excited for him to meet some new friends and learn new things. We love you Bug!

Brooks 1st Purse

Our little girl is growing up so fast. :) Today, she got her first purse and has been gloating around the house all day. These are the moments that cause her dad to get very worried for what's to come. A one year old shouldn't have this look yet. AHHAHHAHAH!

The Fair....Again

Back to the fair again, but this time the kids enjoyed endless rides. There has been perfect weather for the fair this year and yesterday we enjoyed one of those days. After school we hopped in the car with AJ and headed downtown. The kids had so much fun on the rides and looking at animals. The fair is always something so special to the kids and they already can't wait until next year.

Do the Puyallup!

Friday morning I took my 3 little ones to the Puyallup Rodeo parade and fair for a little bit. All of them loved the parade! They got so excited when the bulls ran through streets and the bands walked by playing music. We went back later that evening with just the boys to watch the Rodeo and their 1st Country music concert. The boys love the song "Chicks Dig It" so when I heard that Chris Cagle was going to play at the fair we had to get tickets. They LOVED it! On the way home they were both talking about who they would love to see in concert next.

1st Day of school

Well our big guy started 1st grade this year and it has been a big and exciting change for him. He started on Tuesday. Everything went great in the morning, but in the afternoon the school sent him home on the wrong bus. I went to pick him up at the bus (he was on the same bus as last year)and when all the other kids got off the bus but no big guy, I was a little flustered. The bus driver located him on another bus quickly, but by that time she found out where he was he was pulling up right behind her at the bus stop. He had given the bus driver directions from all the way across town to home. I was SO proud of him. The 1st thing he told me when he got off the bus was "I didn't even cry". Except for that minor detail he is having an absolute blast going all day and loves his teacher.

Walking into school for the 1st time this year

In front of his classroom, he was probably a little embarrased

Labor Day Weekend

To finish the summer off we headed east to spend the Labor Day weekend with friends at their Lake Place. Thank you again for having us this weekend, your place is so fun. We relaxed a lot before we have to start school this week. There were 7 kids, 6 adults and 4 big dogs. There was always something going on and we all had a blast.
