Last of the summer/ Mt. Charleston

 We got to go to the lake one last time

since we started school so early this year.

 My dad got Mia up on the skis and she 

was thrilled! She absolutely loved every second

and wanted to do it allll day long. Can't wait again for next summer!

 grandpa giving some tips!

 so happy!

 Kellan told us he was just there for the food!

I think we should make kid shirts that say

"I'm just here for the snacks"

 He did like relaxing in the water though! It was a fun day.

 We went up to Mt. Charleston to get away and take Oak.

He had a blast.

 

it was fun! We took the chair lift up and I love Oak's face in

this pic!

 Oak turned one and we decided to get him

fixed. He was starting to pee around the house ( only 

when Rick was gone) and I couldn't deal with it anymore.

 He actual did a great job and even enjoyed his 

piece around his head so we just left it on a few extra days.

 then we celebrated his Bday :)

we survived the baby years! Yay!

Kellanisms

I

I keep forgetting to write down all the funnies

Kellan has been saying lately. A few months ago

on a Sunday afternoon Rick and I were cuddling on the couch 

and Kellan came over too but I told him to stop wriggling so he went

and sat in the corner and said, " Fine just sit there and cuddle with your husband if 

that's what you want to do and not me. Ya dad you , you are the husband I'm talking about"

It was sooo funny!

Then last night Rick spanked my butt to be funny and Kellan got really upset

 and said, " Dad you know I love mom more than you, right ? Right dad? I love her more than you

and I don't like it when you spank her like that and had his finger out pointing at Rick."

Lastly, Kellan had a sore throat and said, " Mom, I think you should sneak some flowers tomorrow

while you are running and bring them to me and say Kellan I know your throat hurts so I brought you

some flowers. Okay mom? But forget I told you to do it. 

This kid is too much. and yes I collected flowers outside and yes he pretended like he was surprised.

He told me there are only 3 cute girls at school and the rest are blahhhh 

there's a 3 year old he said who thinks she's older and says she's keeping her eyes 

on me and other girls say move Kellan move, they are all just so bossy.

Don't forget the "King of the Looker " who apparently just stares at him all day.

This kid is at school for his social life... It's too much

Labor Day Ely, Nevada

 Rick took the kids and Grandma and Grandpa M to 

Ely, Nevada for Labor Day weekend. They had a blast

staying at Hotel Nevada and fishing and riding the train.

Too much fun! Mom stayed home with Oak and had some silence:)

 lots of fish :)

they said the train was so fun! Apparently a 95 year old hit 

Grandma Ms car at the train station and took off because she was

late to a wedding so they had to track her down.. never a dull moment

First Day of School

 It's hard to believe that we've already finished the 3rd week 

of school. Kellan started prek  with Mrs. Schreiner at Seton Academy. 

He was suppose to only go for half day Mon- Thurs but his teacher

felt bad that he was missing out on all the crafts and fun so we tried full day

last  week and he did awesome!! He is definitely grouchy and tired but it's all new 

so we are going with it. I started my 17th year. YIKES 

and I don't really like my class so far. When it starts with eye rolls on day 1 and

other behavior problems, I'm not too excited but guess I have to deal with it somehow

and keeping my sanity which is about gone from teaching this long...

 I love that his favorite subject is Be Healthy 

He was so excited for school...

 Mia is starting 4th grade in Ms. Frazier's class

It's my least favorite grade but we will make it through haha...

and of course our class of 2026 shirt! Oak wanted to be apart 

of these pics. I will need to get one for Kellan next year too :)
