First Day

School started this morning! I couldn't be more excited!

(Not sure why these all turned out blurry, but whatever.)

Jolie is stoked to be a 2nd Grader!

Lucy was so thrilled for kindergarten!

And Reese is happy to have me to himself for 3 hours a day!

Oh Happy Day!

Reese is 2

The girls wrapped some gifts for him.

He opened his gifts with his favorite person, daddy.

Enjoying his birthday cookie.

He doesn't like cake.

Playing with his new toy with Grant.

Grandpa showing him how it works.

Cute buddies.

I'm glad he is 2! Now he just needs to learn to talk and we'll be set ;)

Melissa's Last Girls Night

We are going to miss her soooooo much!

Hanna, Teresa, Me, Melissa, Cambria

At Trio, yummiest Mediteranean food ever.

For Danny

With no make-up.

Lucy Turns 5

The day after Jolie's party we headed to Build-A-Bear to celebrate Lucy's too!

This was the perfect party for this sweet little love-bug.

Lucy and Naomi cleaning their newly fluffed bears.

This girl has some seriously strong maternal instincts!

Grandma and Grandpa joined in the fun.

Funny faces.

Look, I am posting pictures of myself!

Lucy, Deacon, Grant, Xavier, Jackson and Jolie.

Lucy and her puppy named Beauty.

Outside for pink cupcakes, Grant loved his!

Reese isn't into cupcakes, but never says no to juice.

Grandpa let all of the girls take turns on his shoulders, he's a good sport!

Signing Lucy's signature bear.

We love Aunt Camille.

Best friends.

Man, August is busy! And we still have Reese turning 2 next week. 

Hooray for Lucy turning 5 and getting ready for kindergarten!

Jolie Turns 7

We partied at Adventure Plex this year for Jolie's birthday celebration. It was an ideal party for this girl. Running, climbing, jumping, sliding, what more could this active girl want?

Even Reese enjoyed himself.

Jolie and the Katie's.

Lucy being adorable as usual.

My man and me.

Here she is pretending to blow out the candles. It was too windy to light them so Jolie being the realist that she is suggested we just pretend! Love her.

Katie O. Jolie and Mackenzie

Reading her sweet cards from her friends.

A good time was definitely had by all! I can't believe I have a 7 year old!

The River

The girls and I went on an Adventure with our friends to the Colorado river over the weekend.

Brady was nice enough to take the kids for golf cart rides. (Zorin was a great driver!)

Zorin with his cousin Sadie in the background.

Look at Xavier's cheeks! It was HOT!!

Not even the heat can stop Jolie from having "non-stop fun!"

Teresa, Melissa and I, where is Cambria?

Ben took all the kids on rides on the wave runners. Xavier and Jolie's turn.

Lucy and Deacon's turn.

Lucy, Xavier, Deacon, Jackson, Sadie, and Grant.

Zorin, Lucy and Deacon think they can go alone.

Time on the boat. Again, Cambria is missing!

Lucy was freaking out when we jumped off the boat. Silly girl.

This girl loved everything: swimming, jumping, jet skiing, and tubing!

Beautiful baby Preslee was such a good sport!

Thanks Brady and Cambria! We had way too much fun!
