Summer is officially over. It was a great one. Filled with many fun memories. Blessed are we!!
P is all about tacos. He had 3 at dinner a few weeks ago! Love when we can get food in this picky eaters mouth! His bowl of strawberries were already finished! Amazing!
A lazy summer morning, chilling with your iPad and cat....nothing better!
Chilling with your iPad and stuffed bear. Life is good!
At a park near our old house.
Outdoor movie night. Deck is still a work in progress...... as you can tell with the siding off the house....it's been that way since May. Eek!!
Couples weekend to Vegas to celebrate 15 years of marriage! So much fun!
First night there. Me and a Minion, thought this was pretty cool until I realized there was a Minion at every corner. Haha! Well, this is the one that got my tip money. Ha!
First night on the strip.
At the M&M store.
Belligao fountains. Gorgeous! This night we caught the fountain show twice and each show was different. Pretty fun!
Stella has been asking to watch a "real" scary movie this summer. She's specifically been asking about Chuckie. Obviously we've said no to this request. But when I saw Chuckie on the strip I had to get a photo. I showed her when I got home and she said, " that's Chuckie??" Ends up she has no clue what the Chuckie movies are about. Ha!
Meanwhile....back in the Ozarks..... Our friends Jeff and Lucy graciously offered to watch our kids while we were gone. We originally were all going to be in the Ozarks together the weekend before this, but then the dates changed and we couldn't make it last weekend since it was the weekend we had booked for Vegas. They still insisted on having our kids and they had a blast with the 4 families there. LOTS of kids. Thankful for all the photos and videos the moms sent me over the weekend.
Ready to go boating!
Back in Vegas on Fremont street. People watching at its finest!! So much happening here. The man in the gray/red sweater had JUST taken off his Freddie Krugger mask!
Back in the Ozarks.....
Stella acting sweet and innocent. Ha!
P just being dumped off the tube.
Vegas... Mike's favorite gambling game Craps. I didn't gamble much....just slots a little bit. We figured we probably ended up pretty even as far as winning/loses in gambling.
Mike reenacting the Statue of David. Ha!
Dog wearing shoes. I love it!!!
Last night in Vegas. This was right outside our hotel. Beautiful!
Group shot! Jeremy, Angie ( met Angie about 9 years ago when the girls were little and we ended up in the same playgroup, we both moved 2 summers ago and now we live just a few blocks away from each other, we do a lot with them and our kids play/sleepover a lot!), me and Mike, Kohls and Kelly. Loved hanging with Kohls and Kelly for 4 days. So much fun. Lifelong friends are priceless.
Saw the show KA on our last night. Really cool! Cameras were not allowed, but I snuck a few pics!
On our way home for the show.....group selfie!
Today brought the 1st day of school. The kids were exhausted! I finally woke them up about 20 minutes before we had to leave.
P in 3rd grade!!
Stella in 5th!!
Group shot!
P and his teacher, Mrs. Pamperin. She seems awesome. P and our neighbor, Austin, are in the same class again this year! They've been in the same class since K, which is even crazier since we live next door.....but when I picked the carpool up from school today they were SOOOO, excited about their teacher. Their favorite teacher ever! After one day of school, that's impressive!
He graduated to a desk this year! Woot!
Stella's 5th grade hallway was decorated with fun backdrop for photos!
Stella and Mrs. Alsin. OMG. When you hear about amazing teachers her name/photo will show up in a dictionary. Stella is going to have the.best.year!!
Stella and a bestie, Mary!!
