The little ones heading off to school for their harvest party

Bailey, Trent, & Wyatt

Soccer Game!!!!

Study time!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR ALL SIX KIDS!!!!!

Wow, summer FLEW by. This morning, all 6 kids were up and out in their various grades(11th, 9th, 7th, 2nd, 2nd & all day K) - everyone was a little nervous, a little excited ... and I think Bailey was especially overwhelmed (and a little scared!)! But they all looked so cute ... lets hope everyone has a GREAT year!

Off to KINDERGARTEN & 2nd Grade!!!!!

Wyatt, Trent & Bailey were up early and ready to go! The kids went yesterday and met their teachers (Wyatt & Trent are in different classrooms again - Wyatt has a teacher brand new to Syre), and all three were excited about starting today! One of our neighbor's little girl in in Bailey's class - so she gets to start the day off with a friend!

Olivia - off to JUNIOR HIGH! ... or Middle School???

Olivia is off with her friend, Rheagan, to their first day of 7th grade!!!! When I was in 7th grade, I looked like a huge geek (well, thats because I was ... and still am!), while these kids are just beautiful!

Dane & Sierra - off to HIGH SCHOOL!

The first to leave this morning ... Dane (a junior!) and Sierra (a FRESHMAN!) ... they both looked adorable (or, "adore" as Sierra says ...)!

Only HALF the school supplies ...

I can't believe its that time of year again ... school starts tomorrow - and this was just HALF of the supplies we had to buy! We still need a few things for each kid ... like these silly "pink pearl eraser's" which are the hardest things to find every year! Between all 6 kids, we need about 20 of them!

80's Day at Day Camp!

Today was one of the last days at Summer Camp for the little one's, and the theme was "80's Day" - Sierra dressed the kids up - pretty cute!

Bailey's Kindergarten Social

Today Bailey & I went down to Syre for her "kindergarten social" - a chance to meet all the other kindergartners - but really, all she wanted to do was play, climb & jump!

Pain In the Grass ... a FUN day!

Today Chris and I went with Dane and some of his friends, and met up with Chris's friend Rocky and a few of his kids - we went to the White River Ampitheater to a concert (Pain in The Grass) and had a blast! It was a beatiful day, a cool venue, and good music!

Just cute ...

A Cousins Dinner!!!!!

Tonight some family came over for my birthday (I turnded 27 ... really ... well, maybe a little older), Maureen made her famous pasta which everyone LOVES (Isaiah and Faith at it with their hands!), and we had a double chocolate cake (which Bailey got all over her face!) - it was a great evening!

A Very Sad Day ....

Today we had to say goodbye to our sweet cat, Tom-tom. He was quite the climber, and fell out of a very large tree. Tom-tom was a sweet cat, he loved to snuggle and purr, and he was loved by all of us. We will all miss you!!!!!

Sierra & Olivia were out of town, and we had to spider-bomb our house (yuck!), so we took Trent, Bailey, Wyatt & Dane to the Old Spaghetti Factory - YUM!

More fun in the "Seattle Heat-wave"!

KC came over today with Isaiah and Faith and swam a bit - we are all loving this pool, and LOVING this heat!
