First Day of School

Lauren, Ben, and I all had our first day of school today! It was pretty great to get to go to school with the kids. We all had good days and we're excited about the year!

2nd grade

Kindergarten

Lauren really wanted the two of us to dress like twins so we could tell everyone we were sisters. It totally worked, no one could tell who was the second grader and who was the teacher;) 

Ben rode the bus to school and got a little lost when he got off. I found him a little teary in the hallway, which made me a little teary. We both pulled ourselves together thought and had great days! 

Lauren has a lot of friends in her class this year which makes her very happy! So excited to be with Sadie again! 

All smiles when he got off the bus! Yahoo! 

Happy Girl!

iphoto not working

iphoto and I are in a fight and it is refusing to open any of my pictures on the computer, therefore all posts are being done from my phone and they may be a little off in format. Sorry, hopefully iphoto will make up with me soon:) 

End of Summer Fun

Last party at jump planet- they went out of business yesterday. Lots of fun memories there!

Meet the teacher night! Lauren helped show Ben around kindergarten!

Lauren hanging out with her friends...feeling so grown up!

Ben & Kevin went to see Planes in 3D!

We went to Summer & Archer's amazing Superhero birthday! Jessica made these amazing capes for every kid!!

Farm

Some friend of ours just moved out to Snohomish on 5 acres. They are getting their land ready to build a pasture for their horse so they have a tractor there. Next door are pigs, horses, cows, and lamas. The kids thought it was so cool that all this was at a friends house. So fun to visit. Ben especially loved the tractor! Lauren can't wait until their horse is there so she can ride it!

Cousins

Last weekend the cousins all spent the day together. We went to the park and I took a pic of each kid doing their thing. Love that Hadley was being a mom while the other 3 were climbing like monkeys. Love their little personalities. Love them all together!

Fun on the boat

Swimming

My friend Teri lives down on the Kirkland waterfront and has been kind enough to share the pool with the kids and I this summer! The kids are huge fans of her dog Sabrina.

Taylor Swift

Lauren & I went to see Taylor Swift last night with Emmy & Riley and Sarah & Braelyn. We had the best time!!
