Back to School

We really really thought we would be moved by now... I thought for sure before school started. It didn't happen. But the kids were happy to go back to school and see their friends! We joined up with my best friend and her kids and walked the first morning! B started 5th grade and KK started 2nd grade and they are both in the duel language program! We have had summer weather all week too! My Mom came up a few days later and we walked again. It helps that the school start time changed to 9:15- plenty of time to get everyone ready in the morning!

Another Update Post

Sad... that's me... without any big excuse for not blogging yet again. Hope you all can forgive me!!

With the kids starting school it just makes things feel worse though since the next blog post in my head had to do with their teacher gifts from last year... yeah cake balls! They were FAB! B learned how to dip and shake um. KK's teachers emailed for the recipe so I know someone ate them too!

We took a fun but quick trip to Seaside Oregon. It was awesome. Although KK came down with a fever and had to be drugged. As long as we kept on top of it she had fun and all the kids slept in the car. (There was the last two hours where Allie cried but I'm trying to forget those). We walked and played on the beach, Allie crawled and ate the sand, the kids did bumper cars, and our hotel had a neat little balcony so Jake and I sat out there and watched the sun set and then a movie after the kids went to bed. We had yummy food and the kids loved the hot tub.

Allie has grown and grown... she CLIMBS (she mastered this before even trying to walk), she WALKS, she talks... she can say Ma, Da, KK, Bu-Bye, Ball, Balloon, Hi, more, milk, shoe, No-no, uh-oh, tickle-tickle. She is a lover and gives lots of loves too! I remember KK was so good at balancing and we didn't worry about her climbing. Allie is not so lucky. She LOVES it but she falls on everything. If there is something to run into then she does. The poor thing is covered in bruises. She also LOVES outside. She also turned one! Happy happy birthday!

 

KK lost another bottom tooth! It is finally coming in now.

We grew some yummy raspberries this year!

and Our FAVORITE FAVORITE people came to visit! and lucky KK and B got to go spend a glorious week and a half with them in Utah! We love you Grandpa John, Grandma Shanna, Grandma "Poop's," Annie, & Sarah too!
