Pre-School

I can't believe that the time had come for Averie to start pre-school. She was excited...I was in tears.

The night before school started we decided to have a "back to school" celebration. Averie got to pick the dinner menu and we celebrated school starting.

 I just want to pinch those sweet cheeks!

 I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE watching my children sleep...thats not weird is it?? Anyway, I decided that every year the night before school starts I am going to take a picture of them sleeping. She looks so sweet!

 I just had to throw in a picture of this sweet little guy!

 I think it is a pre-school requirement to have a picture in front of the house before school starts!

I am so proud of you Averie!!

Summer Fun!!

I love summer and can't believe that it is already over! We had a blast hanging out at the beach, playing at parks, swimming, barbecuing, having picnics, getting dirty and just enjoying our beautiful city with amazing friends!

Averie and her best buddy James!!

 Declan and his buddy Colter...apparently we need to get some boy toys :).

 Dressing up and driving around with Norah!

 Our cute niece Zoey!

 Planting seeds with Grampa.

  In August our little man turned 6 months. I can hardly believe 6 months has already gone by. He is such a joy and the happiest little guy!

Doing Daddy's hair :)!

 James and Averie are there under all that dirt!

Moving Day

We moved a few months ago and couldn't be HAPPIER with where we are. We ABSOLUTELY love our new house, or as Averie calls it "our backyard house." It sure wasn't easy packing,cleaning, painting and moving with two little kids but we are settled and hope to not have to move again for a long time!

This cute little guy was such a trooper and spent a lot of time hanging out in the laundry basket while we packed, cleaned and painted.

Our last dinner in our old house :(.

Loading the u-haul. Grampa is an excellent packer!

The moving crew!

We had to play in some of our favorite hiding spots before we left :).

 Our new house!

 On our first night in our new house Declan had his first food (it happened to be his 6month birthday).

For some reason this picture makes me want to talk in a Spanish accent.
