First day of School

 Lane started 1st Grade this year!!!!! WOO HOO!  He's such a smart, big boy and growing up so fast :) 

He was alot more excited for the first day of school this year, and the little sibs were excited for him! They all look up to their big brother, and we are so proud of him!

Phase 2....

Then we made some Slime.....very cool stuff....

 Then it finally got hot enough to get the sprinkler out.....and we jumped in the water!

 Then somehow the bags got back out with the water :) 

Funny kids......fun-filled day! All ready for school :)  Thanks for coming to play Josh and Abby!

Last day of summer!

On the last day before school started I got to wash Josh and Abby. We had a full out End of Summer Celebration!!!! *I* had fun....i think the kids did too! We had a great summer....here's to another good school year!!! :)

 First there was balloon volleyball....which was not very successful :) everytime the balloon touched our pokey grass it popped.....

 Then it was on to sack races.....

 Lane was being a poor sport :)  

 Then the sacks migrated to the trampoline....

 Then *somehow* the balls got dumped on the trampoline....

 Then it was on to more serious matters.....decorating gingerbread men....:)

that was phase one.....

Hangin Out

Sometimes I go and kidnap our neighbors, the Palmers.  We have lots of fun...this day it was jumping on the trampoline with the sprinkler underneath :)

Look at these cute faces!!!! I sure am lucky to hang out with them every day :)

Swim party!

We had a final swim party in August....these are the only pics I took :) But it was lots of fun, food, water, and friends! :) definitely going to make these a tradition over the summers!

flashback!

Just ran into this....can't remember when I took it, but it was too cute not to post :)

almost done

Forgot to put this up.....this is as far as we got this season on the play house.  It's pretty awesome. I have a door for it, but I need to paint it, and I have some curtains for it but.....whatever :)  there's always next year!
