First Day of School

Ella's first day of Preschool was September 2nd. She was so excited to go! The only preschool she has had was Thursday school back in Mississippi! She hasn't really needed it until now and she really only needs it now so she won't be so bored. She has been so bored at home with us and really needed a social scene to help her! She is loving it and looks forward to going! I want to put Easton in a class in January since he seems a little bit behind from where Ella was a year ago, but right now he is just being my buddy while she is gone!

It was a little bright so we went to the end of the porch!

Not a huge fan of Character stuff but this was the cheapest backpack! Why do backpacks have to cost over $40 it is ridiculous!

Play day

This has been a crazy summer! Andrew has been working 6 days a week and had one day off the whole summer! He got cut a day and has had the last few Thursdays off! It has been so nice to have a day to spend together! We have tried to cram as much fun stuff into each day! The first week we literally spent every waking hour doing something. We drove to Ikea and got a bookshelf, test drove some cars, went to lunch together, went to the splash pad, came home and played some games with the kids and rode bikes, then we made a picnic and went back to the park and ate it and the kids played. We then went to Target and we were going to get frozen yogurt but the kids lost the privilege while at Target so we went home and put them to bed! It has been so nice to see Andrew more. He is filling in for someone for a couple weeks but he plans to not work 6 days a week after the new year. 

Addie girl

While the kids ride bikes Addie and I hang out! She loves to sit and watch them and loves to be outside. 

I remember Ella in this outfit! It is crazy to have another little girl wearing it!

Birthdays

My kids love to play Birthdays! They will make a cake out of anything and sit and sing the birthday song! This day it was Addie's blocks. I looked over and it was so sweet the way Ella had her arm wrapped around Easton! 

Hokulia

We discovered a new place this summer called Hokulia. We sadly only got to go once before they closed for the season! It was so good! Andrew and I shared a pina colada one that had coconut ice cream in the middle and sweet milk on top! The kids shared a rainbow one! Both were really good! We can't wait for next summer when they open up again!

Playing

The kids absolutely love having space to play and I love it too! Although we probably won't have our yard in until next Spring they still can play outside and ride bikes! They have lots of little friends their age around us which makes it fun! I got this little cozy coupe scooter at Target a few weeks ago for 8 bucks and they have had fun with it! I love how we live in a little circle because I feel safe with them going out into the road a little bit, we don't see a whole lot of cars! We are just loving it! They beg to go out everyday and ride bikes!

Storytime

I finally got my kids back to the Library for storytime! Ella honestly thought Mississippi was the only place with a library. I feel so bad because we used to go weekly we hardly ever missed a week. We hadn't been for 18 months! They were so excited when I told them where we were going! I feel bad we hadn't been for so long but honestly living in our condo really put a damper on life. It was hard to go anywhere cause it was such a pain to get to our car and then come home, especially being pregnant last year and then having a new baby! We are happy to have our new home it makes going places easier! 

Babies

I went to a baby shower a couple weeks ago for a cousin (it was actually like the 5th cousin baby shower I have been to this summer, I need a baby shower budget!). Anyways we all had brought our babies. Some of these babies are first cousins with others and some seconds cousins and so on. This isn't even all that have been born this year. There was a few more missing and a few more due by Christmas! It was fun to have them all together! Addie is the giant baby seeing as most of these babies were born this summer!
