Bdays and a Trip to Portland

 forgot to post these pics of my mom's bday 

 goofies
strangely I have one just like it haha
Mia's homework partner in crime 

Dad's big 38




 Rick and I went to Portland for the weekend for his 
bday and so glad we did since he got promoted 
right after and got on a terrible schedule. We hiked to waterfalls,
ate yummy food, went to a soccer game and then had a crazy night where
there was a shooting outside our hotel room so we couldn't take our rental car 
anywhere because the dead guy was by our car! Such crazy luck, 
so no beach but we still had a super fun time, rode electric scooters, walked a ton and
held hands the whole weekend which is always nice :) 


















Mia's teacher is obsessed with police work and
really wanted Rick to come and show his undercover car
before he went back to a patrol car, she is so hilarious. 

She missed her calling! This is going in the yearbook! 


and Rick promoted!


finishing up fall baseball- this is what the weather is EVERY game,
in case you were wondering. 

 no complaints from him though!
 we went to Rick's 20 year reunion, I was prepared 
to meet some exes but didn't get the chance... oh well haha

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 :)
