First week of school!!!!

It's that time of year again! Our summer is over and school is back on! WOW!!!! Where has all the time gone, I'm so bummed that our fun filled, carefree days of summer are no more. Oh well we'll be making it to Reno for Labor Day and can't WAIT to see my Dad and some of my old friends along with my big sis Karin!!! YAY!

Anyway Jesse started 6th grade this year, Joe entered 4th and Jordan went into 2nd. The kids are all in Gifted and Talented combined classes so it will be interesting to see how it goes this year, but they seem super thrilled and happy to be back at school and focused. They all really love their teacher. I also got the opportunity to speak with all of their teachers and while I didn't get any warm fuzzy feelings off of them (something I am SOOOOOOO pleased about, structure is not a bad thing for these kids) I am so excited at what the new school year will bring. I think this one is going to be a great year and oh so much fun, with a lot more Mom involvement!

Daddy unfortunately was gone again for the first day of school but got to relive it through pictures and really enjoyed getting to see the kids. Now it's time to get ready to get this litter of puppies home and enjoy our first weekend after school!!!! Here are some more pictures of the kiddos and school. We hope everyone is doing well! God bless you and Keep you!

What a busy summer!!!

Okay so we took off for Disney in June and spent 3 fun filled days there with all 5 kiddos! Then it was back home to play here in Vandyland and go camping for four days!


So then after we got back from having way too much fun camping for four days at lake San Antonio it was time to hang at the house for a while, then head back to LA for our trip to Knott's Berry Farm and the Santa Monica Pier! SOOOOO MUCH FUN! They rode all the rides with Daddy and had a great time. After we got back we found out that Precious Mamma was preggers again and welcomed our second litter (this time she had 7) at our Church Family Camp. Family camp was so much fun! We had some awesome fellowship and had a great time hanging out in Morro Bay. Joseph managed to get up on the board and surf. So much fun! Huge thanks to our Pastor for taking him out to surf, he had a blast! Of course papa bear wasn't stoked about the california weather. If you ask him it's UNUSABLE OCEAN!!!
He was a little chilly and really wasn't up for the photo opportunity ;).

Fortunately at night we had a nice fire to keep us warm and hang out around with some irreplaceable fellowship!











WHAT AN AMAZING FUN Summer we've had - I'm so bummed that it's over and now time to get ready for the real world and for school to start for the kiddos tomorrow!!!! WOW! I hope everyone had as amazing of a summer as we did!
