I can not believe how fast this summer has flown by. It was so great having the kids on a traditional school year and having them all to myself for three months! There were so many fun adventures. I've been sad seeing them go back to school, but I am catching up so many things around the house!
Here's some shots from a day I took the two oldest to Lagoon and left Porter for a fun afternoon with Auntie Kim!
The beginning of the month Todd and Pam came back in town for a few days. We took them out boating one Saturday with Elise and had such a great time!
Shaun couldn't resist dunking Pam and Elise. Haha!
Shaun and Elise
Is it just me, or does he look a little hot? Too much info? Sorry!!
Todd got up on his first try and stayed up for a few good minutes. He made it look so effortless and he'd never done it before!!!
Pam got up really quick, too. I love her face in this one!
Cute Porter hanging in the boat. I think it soothes him, he just sits there!
Lila and Isaak didn't come boating with us that day because they were having a fun sleepover with Grandma Patsy and Grandpa Jay! They got to make flower dolls, go to a movie, and eat Swedish pancakes! Lucky!
Grandma's pretty garden
I love how peaceful he is when he sleeps. So precious.
This is JC, Isaak and Lila's swim teacher. She teaches in the pool in her backyard and is an AMAZING teacher!
Another day at Blackridge Reservoir. I love how slow it is now! You have so much room on the beach. So peaceful
He's getting so good at batting!
The middle of August we went to Yuba lake with Grandma Jo and Grandpa Ric! All of the cousins were there and we spent the day on the paddleboards, jet skis, playing in the sand, and eating yummy food!
Lila is underneath that scarf. Hahaha!

The drive home, they were so exhausted!!

Lila created a trail of bread crumbs for the birds to follow so she can catch one. AWWW!

I did NOT want school to start. But it did. Here's the kids the night before all ready to go to Back To School Night and meet their new teachers. We got some great ones this year!
First day of school for Isaak, Lila had a meeting with her teacher that day, and started the day after.

The kids and I went for a picnic at the park in the Cove one night.

Summer Mom is so much more fun than school Mom. I decided to take Porter out to the splash park one afternoon for some fun and he wouldn't even get in the water!!! Forced family fun.
