1st and 3rd

The first day of school finally came! After getting back from SunRiver I think both the kids and I were ready for school to start!

So ready to go but of course I needed to take pictures! Jackson started first grade. He has the same teacher that Hailey did for first grade. I am happy to have Mrs. Abbott again. I so tried to convince him to get a regular backpack but he insisted on a messenger bag like Hailey.Hailey has always loved school and this year thus far is no exception!She got her glitter shoes :) I found these and needed her to have them so I actually had the salesman take them off a mannequin.We were lucky to have Grammy and Pa here visiting!Yeah for 1st grade!Let the learning begin!

Playing Catch up

I need to catch up on my blogging because life is so busy now. Summer is over and fall is here which brings lots of craziness in our house.

In August we went to SunRiver for a week, it was so fun and so relaxing! We did lots of

Swimming

Love this nose picking picture!

Lots and lots of family bike riding which is one of my favorite things about SunRiver.Riding bikes to the ice cream store just screams summer :)We tye-dyed t-shirts Lily was a trooper she took a lot of naps in the bike trailerLuckily she loved it

How cute is this face?

We geocached, it was really fun but those things are not easy to find!Lily decided that she wanted another showerHad a lot of fun at the park

Sisters are the best!

We went to the Lava Caves. It is about 45 degrees in there. Of course I was cold!We ventured to the lake and it was a cold day but the kids did not seem to care. At least for a little while.That is Hailey way up in the tree, she likes to keep up with the boys!We had a fabulous vacation, it was a great way to wrap up the summer!
