Just September Happenings

I need to document the boys first day of school this year. It was Russell's first day in Kindergarten and TJ's first day of second grade. Here are a few pictures from September. 

 I love this picture

I'm Not Going to Try to Catch Up

 I'm not going to try to fill in all the events I've missed over the summer. I just can't wrap my head around that. So I'll fill in from October.  Here are a few pictures from conference weekend in Olympia. We caught Latin Farm's Pumpkin Patch with grandma and grandpa in between conference sessions. The weather was amazing! Can't do a trip to the farms without eating fritters

 Here are a few pictures from my preschool trip to Bi-Zi Farms Pumpkin Patch. Beth came down for the trip and flew out to Utah from Portland that weekend. I loved having Beth on our field trip.

Fathers Day 2012

 Breakfast in Bed for Dad on Father's Day. Grandma and Grandpa drove down for the day to share it with our family.

 

Piano and chicken feet

We left the girls with a babysitter and took the boys out to dinner before TJ's first piano concert. He's been taking lessons for two months. We wanted to make his first concert a big deal. I enjoyed having time with just the boys.

 A week or so later we went for Dim Sum with friends and Trevor ate a chicken foot

Preschool Graduation

We celebrated Russell and Amelia's graduation from Ms. Connie's Preschool at the park the second week of June. In the fall Russell will start kindergarten and Amelia will go to Mom's preschool.

 

A few June Activities

Abigail is mobile so we need a safe place for her when I'm making dinner.

CA TRIP

We spent a week in CA over the Memorial holiday. We loved spending time with family. Here are a few pictures from our time in the sun.

A beach day

 

Our kids are extra pasty from all the sunscreen. Russell looks like a ghost.

Dad buried TJ

The kids built their own lounge chairs

 

 We spent Memorial Day morning visiting Grandpa Bob's grave at the Military Cemetery

Water Land at Grandma and Grandpas. Grandma bought two pools, two slip and slides, water guns, bubbles and water balloons for an outdoor water fun place for the grand kids.

Trevor spent the whole time playing with the kids.
