FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

Yep, the kids are FINALLY going back to school! Their first day was Monday, August 30th!

Good grief, we'll be in school til July out here :( 

Anyway, they have had a great kick-off! This is the first year Daddy has been home for the first day and the first year Mommy has missed being there to put them on and off the bus. They seem to be adjusting to Mommy going back to work and they LOVE that they get to go to their friends house, The Uhlmann's before and after school.

THIRD AND FIRST - how is this possible?!

Six Flags

One perk of Aaron having a day off in the middle of the week is we can do fun family outings and beat the crowds! Today was our first family trip to Six Flags. The kids loved it! Poor Andrew got sick from the tea cups and kind of put a kabosh on the rest of the rides (it was pretty rough on me too :)

It was a great day together!

 First Roller Coaster -

she was very disappointed that she wasn't tall enough to ride the bigger roller coasters, 

but she handled it well!

Poor Andrew tried to tough it out after the tea cups, but he still wasn't feeling good.

Summer Lovin'

Just some pics of our last few weeks of summer adventures!

 That little tiny black spec is Claire's first shark tooth!

They both found one before I even hit the shore!

 And these goof balls had a great time playing in our kiddie pool.....

with inner tubes.

Fun With Friends

The kids have had a lot of fun having playdates with friends this summer!

We are so blessed to have such kind friends!!!

Sky Zone

The kids loved burning off some steam with their big cousins! 

Gotta admit I wanted to jump in with them!

and some bonus pics of cooling off with Cat :)
