First Day of School

 Mia is in 3rd grade this year which is so crazy
to me since I teach 3rd grade. It just doesn't seem like she's a 
3rd grader all ready. She's also in Gate so she's very excited
( Gifted and Talented Program) and her Gate teacher is amazing.






 My 16th year.YIKES





 this cutie is also in Preschool this year
3 days a week and just started.









 he gets to go with Levi the cute neighbor and Rick takes them both 

 after his first day, his teacher said, 
"He's very witty!" We hope that's a good thing..


My cuties!!!

Last of summer fun

Mia had a fun little bday party with her BFF at the Marriott 
pool where Rick and I got married. They even got a nice cabana
sometimes it pays to live in Vegas :)

 we went to the lake for my mom's bday. It was super fun
to surf and wakeboard and eat snacks the whole time which is
why Kellan says you go to the lake :)





 another fun bday date to watch Pete's dragon
 every time Rick goes to Costco with Kellan
every time
 we went to Wet n Wild with Laya and Marlee.
They had a blast even though the heater was turned off and the water was seriously ice
 Rick took the kids to Mt. Charleston to go camping. They had a fun time.
It was Kellan's first time so he didn't sleep at all...

 Grandpa M even came up for dinner. Kind of nice for only 30 minutes away?
 Mia's golf coach moved the end of August. I had to post his
letter because I want it in her book forever. They had a special bond and 
he truly believed in her ability and what an amazing thing to have someone rooting for you as
a person and in a sport. We will always keep in touch and appreciate him helping Mia get her first 
taste of golf and love it.



 more swimming at grandma and grandpa's house
 Kellan watching too much Rio Olympics
 another Wet N Wild adventure: Kira and Mia


 Rick and I drove to Pasadena to watch Coldplay
for my bday present from March. It was the first time
someone watched the kids overnight that wasn't a grandparent.
It wasn't without it's challenges for sure, but it was only a night and they
are still alive ;)

And Mia is preparing Spock for our upcoming new addition to the 
family. She's trying to put other friends with him
He does not look amused....
