Kade is Silly

Kade begged me to draw on his face. He's such a silly boy. 

1st day of School

Today was the first day of school. Each of them chose their own clothes and were very excited to start school. Kylie and Bailey are in the 4th grade with Mrs. Hansen. They tested into the gifted program this year and are excited for the challenge. Kade is in the first grade and will be in the Spanish dual emmersion program. He will spend the first half of the day in English with Ms. Crump and the second half with Mrs. Villegas in Spanish. Paul took them to breakfast before school then walked them to class. They loved the new tradition. 

Kade is Seven

ThenI woke up extra early to wish this little guy a very happy birthday. He wanted pancakes for his special breakfast. We thought we had a mix but instead he got some Micky D's.

That night he wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese. 

Then came home for some ice cream (mcflurry) and presents.  

And opened presents

Girls 10th bday party

For the girls bday party this year, we decided to take their friends swimming. 

Then back home for some cake, ice cream and presents. 

Last Day of Summer

We spent our last day of summer doing errands.: dentist appointments, getting a tire fixed, lunch with dad, school supply shopping and now soccer practice for the girls. I'm going to miss hanging out with these four everyday. #goingbacktoschoolislame

Zoo Day

This summer hasn't gone quite how we planned it. We got a season pass to the zoo in June but haven been able to go like we thought. Today was only our second trip. 

Jenny and her kiddos were able to come with us and we had the best time. It's always so much fun hanging out with cousins. 

We ended the trip at the new splash pad. It was insanely hot and the perfect end to our day. 

Our Garden

This year we had a garden in our church's community garden behind our house. We love taking walks and watering the gardens. The kids also loved being able to go back there and water it themselves. 

Diabetes Education

As part of the education we received in the hospital, we have continual classes at the diabetes center as Kade gets older. It gave us more information and was very useful. It was fun to spend the morning with just Kade and Mom and Dad. Afterwards we went to lunch at subway.
