End of Summer and School Starts

 last minute cousin time when we got back from Hawaii!

They had a blast

 Mia and her bff at her bday at the JW Marriott pool

 we took Oak out to the lake for the first time

had to get him a cute little life jacket and he did

awesome! It was pretty hot but other than that, he loved it. 

the kids learned how to ski and wakeboard and let me tell

you they are absolutely hooked like they want to go to the lake every single day!

Mia is obsessed with skiing but likes wakeboarding too and she loves 

to dance while skiing

 and Kellan started on the skiis but really loves wakeboarding

Grandpa loves that they love it and we do too. It is sooo

fun to watch! They really want their cousins to do it! 

but he still loves being on the board w

with grandpa

where's grandpa and Kellan! He was climbing

this cliff barefoot and of course I was freaking out and he told

my dad, "She just always thinks I'm going to die and something is going 

to happen to me, she's always worried about everything." Yup I am that's what being 

a mom is all about 

 Kellan had a tooth that was really bugging him but

then Rick took the kids camping and he was able to get him to let him

just pull it out, so first tooth gone and I wasn't even there. 

 this was Oak while kids were away, he put 

himself in his Kennel it was soo sad. 

 Kids had a great time in Ely Fishing, riding the train to the "Pony Express"

eating at the jail restaurant, and hanging with dad while mom had

Back to School night and was getting ready for the first week .

 this is my only year I will have both kids at the same school 

and with me which is pretty sad

 Kellan is in kinder in Ms. Cook's class ( Mia's kinder teacher)

 Mia is in 5th grade in Mrs. Games and Mrs. McGarry's class

My 18th year. don't I look excited? It took Kellan one 

week of watching me and said I will NEVER be a teacher

 Lucky for me I get to see him every day at lunch because it's my break

and he has a new and first cute little BFF from Vancouver, Washington

who just moved behind us and is at church too!!! they also have the same 

crush Charlene , so should be interesting! 

grandma had her 60 th bday so we got to hang out 

over there and celebrate!

kids being silly  

 we checked out Lake Las Vegas during Labor day weekend

kids got to kayak , swim and Kellan hung out with a new friend.. he's the 

best at making friends.

 We got to watch Oak's brother Jack and it was super fun!

Oak has been going to their house to play every day, I even pack

a lunch and he loves it. It's so cute. 

 he's not too thrilled about having 2 dogs running around 

Kellan started baseball again and loves it so much

Grandpa sponsered the team and now my life is

baseball until the end of October...

but he is sooo darn cute! he fought me on underwear and

then had to play catcher. I was so worried!!!

and of course Mia is rocking the golf! 

Rick got VIP suite tickets for Nascar and took Mia,

Owen and Kellan while I had some me time. He's so good with

kids, he can always handle and extra few :)
