First Day of School

8.14.2012
Milestones.  Audrey's first day of second grade.  Joshua's first day of pre K.  Austin's first day of missing his brother and sister while they are gone all day.

 

He was so tired after his first day that he took a nap.  And drooled.

Audrey's work.
Red: Meeting her teacher
Purple: Wanda (They read a book about Wanda)
Blue: B.O.B. (Best of Behavior)

 

Last Day of Summer

Last day of summer. Hanging up the swimming suits and pulling out the backpacks.  Trading in lazy afternoons for homework and soccer practice.  It is so bitter sweet.

Meet The Teacher

Joshua went to one month of preschool in Texas before we moved, and I never put him back in.  He has been my little buddy, my sidekick, for four years and I felt sick thinking about him being gone at pre K.  Luckily it is only 1/2 day.  I sure love this little guy.
Meeting the teacher.

After meet the teacher we headed straight to the water park for one last day of summer. 

That night we had preK orientation. And of course we needed an ice cream cone after. 

 

Back To Work for Audrey Girl

While living in Colorado, Audrey's teacher asked what they wanted to be when they grew up.  Audrey said she wanted to be a dolphin trainer or a "modeler".  I submitted her picture to an agency, and even though the don't usually represent kids, they were happy to represent Audrey and Joshua (Austin, not so much...too young, and doesn't listen to direction. At all). 

Audrey got booked for a Hobby Lobby job.  She hasn't modeled since San Francisco, and she loved being in front of the camera again. 

 

Her face will be on the packaging for these mustaches Hobby Lobby will be selling.  Watch for them coming out on January 1, 2013!

 

 

 

Memor was able to come to the shoot with us, adding to the fun!

Memor and Fafa Came to Visit!

Memor and Fafa came to visit for Audrey's birthday. We always love having them come! We are rotating between a "family birthday" and "friends birthday" every other year.  This was her family year, and I am so grateful Memor and Fafa came to share it with us!
We packed our days with lots of fun, starting with ice cream, of course.

Amusement park.
 

 

Audrey's birthday.  She had the whole day planned.  Water park in the morning, Taco Bueno for lunch, pedicures, Hungarian Goolash for dinner, cake and ice cream, presents, and then off to Dave and Busters arcade.  

Pedicures. 

 

 

 

 

 

Jack pot. 

More fun.

 

Swimming and fireworks to celebrate the end of summer. 

We miss you!

Back to School Date

August 4, 2012
Getting ready to start second grade.  Of course it requires a major mother/daughter date.  I justify this because I only have one daughter.  Much different than the dates I grew up with due to the large number of girls in my family.
 

Happy Birthday to Our Little Family

11 years ago (as of Aug 2, 2012), Dave and I were married and changed the eternities. We started our little family, and 11 years later, I am so grateful to have these littles to share my life with.
We celebrated by going out to dinner (can't remember where) and getting cupcakes to celebrate our family's birthday.  Happy day to us!

Then sticking with tradiditon we watched our wedding video.  I laughed out loud a few times...

So did Austin.

 

 Our kids thought we were famous and Joshua still asks to watch the "Mommy and Daddy movie".

 

It's been a great 11 years.  Hopefully we will not move nine times and have three children in the next 11 years. Oh, and have Dave go to school for a majority of those years. We will leave the school going to our kids from now on. 

Lazy Summer Days

Nakie boys playing legos.
 

Facial for Audrey.  One of the many differences between boys and girls. 

 

I'm Afraid of the Future

 

August 2, 2012
Audrey and her friend went to some car driving place and the mom texted me this picture.  It gave me an instant feeling of dread thinking about my sweet little seven year old Audrey, who will one day be 16.  Driving in a car, with the windows down, blasting music and most likely muttering something about how her Mom is so uncool and how she doesn't understand anything (that's me she will be talking about).  Wasn't I doing that just yesterday? Sorry Mom.
