Into September we go.

This is Matt being father of the year, carting our chairs and floats back to the campsite while we just rode with our measly backpacks! And below me getting his shoes on as he couldn't bend down.  But that was last month. Now we have a 1st and 3rd grader living in our house, and slowly but surely we're getting into the groove.

Lila and I went to McMinnamon 's for cousin Emily's wedding with the family - had such special time together!

Soccer season is upon us now! And also dressing up like ninjas to practice for Halloween!

Oh, and did I show you Lila's haircut??

August

 Some random shots from August... Camping,Lila & friend, the boys came to stay for 3 days (Gabe and Lungtok), and Whatcom Falls Park, our neighborhood digs, and getting Lila's hair curled at the mall: when in Rome!

This might've been Orcas?

Silver lake campground, our new favorite, and here's dad and husband of the year biking the inner tubes and chairs back up to the campsite from the lake while we just had our backpacks!

The Fair!

They rode the roller coaster this year together!

On the Ferris wheel...

Afterward they were invited to "ice cream with the Principal"; pretty special and Mrs. Ficklin is great.

July...

I love pool pics! And we have the best pool close by. Best kept secret.

Library matinee movie - taking advantage of 1st cloudy day of summer!

Love love love

And you get more posts now that I have a blogger app on my phone!
