First Day of Kindergarten!!!

I can't believe Cody is old enough to go
to school!! He was so excited! "I get to
ride the bus and everything!" he said to
Ethan, this morning. I thought for sure
I would cry, but I was brave! Not even
one tear!! He came home and when I
asked him how school was, he said, the
bus is the best part!!

End of Summer...

When it comes to the end of Summer, everyone
has different things that come to mind. According
to Ethan, it means the days are getting shorter, and
the nights are getting longer. True, but not what I
would have thought. And Cody, it means you can't
go outside and play any more. Even though his
favorite season is Winter, because he loves to go
outside and play in the snow!! Crazy boys!
I love Summer, and can't believe it is over, but
all good things have to come to an end. Next year
will be even better!!

Playing with cousins in the pool.

Ethan, and the mask he has to wear, even though
it is constantly falling off!

Cody learning to dive.

It doesn't look like it this picture, but Jaxson
loves the water!!

Teething Sucks!!

Jaxson is such a happy baby, except when those
teeth are trying to come in!!! I wish he would
just get them all at once and be done with it!
He has two on bottom and one on top, although
all you can see is the HUGE top tooth! It reminds
me of Spongebob's teeth. Hopefully he will grow
into them!

A New Friend!

We got a new dog!! Thank goodness it

is a small one. The best part is he is very well
trained. Cody absolutely loves him,
takes him everywhere with him. He talks to
him, and thinks he truly is a best friend!
Ethan, on the other hand, would rather
Skoshi go away. He tries to be brave, but
has a hard time with him.

As you can see, Ethan does not want to get
any where near Skoshi.

Happy Birthday

I can't believe I'm 30!! I remember being

younger and thinking that 30 was so old!!
Now, I'm still so young!!
It was a fun day, Dave surprised me and
took the day off. I just relaxed & got my hair cut,
(I cut 12 in off) while he took care of the kids,
it was great! I did make my own cake,
with the help of Cody and Ethan.
They think they are such great helpers!!
Dave was in charge of the camera, and this is what
he got! He is not picture happy like I am.

Such a great picture, I know.

Family Pictures

Like I said earlier, it has been a long time

since all of my siblings were here at the same
time. So these are a couple of months old,
but I love the way they turned out. We had
everyone but my oldest sister's husband here.
Lots of people, but so much fun!!

I can't believe my mom had 8 kids. I love
having a big family, they are my best friends,
but there is no way, no way I could ever do it!

I love this picture, I have amazing parents.

California!

So I know it has been FOREVER since I have blogged. This summer

has been a busy one, but very fun! I can't believe it is over!
We went to California, for 10 days in July. We stayed with my sister Sarah,
and brought along my sister Lin. We had such a BLAST!!
In fact, we decided the day we were supposed to come home
to stay one more day!! We just played the entire time.
We went to SEAWORLD, Disneyland and
California Adventure. Played at the BEACH,
(everyone's favorite), and then Sarah, Lin and I went and
saw WICKED!! So Much fun!!!
It's hard to come back to real life, knowing summer is
almost over and Cody will be starting kindergarten,
Ethan will be in preschool. I can't believe it!!!
