It seems like our days have just been filled with soccer and school...

Day 257
Yesterday I finished editing senior pictures I had taken for my sister-in-law. Isn't she gorgeous?
Monday
Day 256
aww... first day of school went amazingly! I thought he would need me to stay longer, but after a few minutes, I could tell he felt ok ( a little timid, but not too bad). I told him I was leaving and I'd see him later. He said ok.
Then he came home wearing these.... Clifford, the Big Red Dog, ears. He wore them the rest of the day, and the next, and was so proud of them. He's such a cute little boy. I love when he's happy.... he's so much fun.
Saturday
Day 254
The first soccer game of the season! They both did excellent, and I think both will sleep well tonight. Our little princess played well, and is a little more agressive this year. We are hoping they both have a fun season and get some great exercise too.
Thursday
Day 252
Today was a practice day of school. We got to go and meet his teacher and play a little. Next week he'll start for reals. He was so excited!
Tuesday
Day 250
So we had a great Labor Day. How about you? I slept in, the kids played Donkey Kong, Daddy went to work for a lil bit, and then we headed to the lake. We met some friends up there and played in the water and sand for a few hours.
Today the kids had cleanings at the dentist. They both did fantastic! {no cavities} We came home and instead of showing me his tooth-brush.... the little guy wanted to show how strong his teeth were. He dug up some carrots from our garden and gnawed away. I thought he looked so funny-but cute, with the greens hanging out of his mouth. The kids have loved the garden this year... too bad we can only grow tiny tomatoes and tiny carrots. {and weeds!}

Day 248
I stayed up late last night to finish some craft projects. I had to display them at church today to show the ladies what craft we'll be doing for Super Saturday.

Day 245
We met our friend at the park and she taught us a really cool activity... slack lining. The kids were a little timid at first, but quickly fell in love with it.
Wednesday
Day 244
Ok, so our summer was busy. I'll post a few pictures to get you up to speed.... Right after school was out, our little princess did a gymnastics camp for a week. She loved it! Then we headed to Seattle to help our newest cousin be born: 
We were gone for 3 weeks and had a blast while we were there. We also celebrated someone's 7th birthday! (I can't believe I have a kid that old.)
We came home, had swim lessons. Then the "men" in the family had a campout with church. (and we learned our little man doesn't do well with misquito bites- he swells up!) Next we had a visitor and crammed so much into her trip (2 baseball games, farmer market, water park, Glacier National Park-misquito problem, 5 mile hike to waterfall- misquito problem again, canoeing: 
and eating at some of our favorite local restuarants). And our little girly had to have her 2 front teeth pulled (her other teeth were coming in). The dentist said she looked like Bruce the Shark :)
Next we went camping:
swam in a pond, and then I helped throw a baby shower. Then we headed to my family reunion in Utah. We stayed an extra day to hang out with Kenny's family (who drove 4 hours just to be with us for less than 24 hrs.) When I came home from the reunion I layed on the couch for almost 2 weeks due to my first ever sinus infection (it was horrible).

Once I could pull myself off the couch, we started preparing for school and we had to float the river at least once this season. And now here we are. The first day of 2nd grade!!! (and she's riding the bus home this year- that's a scary new adventure). 
Now you all got the quick version of our summer. I'm hoping since we'll be in town more, to start posting daily again. And in 2 weeks, I'll start having the afternoons to myself. The little guy is starting a 4 day preschool :) I'm a little excited! Hope you all had a fabulous summer.
