Labor Day Weekend in Cali!

Like Ive said time and time before...Jeremy is in his super busy season which I remember last year being SO hard. Like no friends, Hannah was still 3 (enough said, right?!) and we were relatively new here. I remember taking the kids to California alone and wasnt sure if I could bring myself to come back ha ha. This time has been a MILLION times better. But we still decided to go to California for the long weekend to give Jeremy a break. It was nice to get away! I always dread the 4 hours in the car because I cant count on the kids napping anymore but its really not that bad. They really do good. We stopped a couple times but that helps me too.
We had a great time and swam ALOT. Thankfully we were able to use their neighbors pool and that was great. They both are little fish!

 We love getting to watch sweet baby Duke grow!!

 The kids LOVE him!

 And Owen loves his toys :)

They were both out one morning...swimming is one of the best things for kids, am I right?!

 We went to dog beach, which is a section of the beach just for dogs to run and play. The kids had a great time!

We filled the trip with fun, food, ice cream, water and more! So thankful we have them 4 hours away!!!

Last days of Summer!

Two posts in one day...big I know! ha ha! We are enjoying are last few days of summer, even though now its September and I consider it fall! Except in the desert its hot until October but we are lucky and get some great weather for the rest of the year!

 We've done alot of swimming! They are both such great, brave little swimmers! this was at a pool party for our neighborhood, it was a really nice event.

 They melt my heart!

 Finally jumping in and now you cant stop her!

 Bubba Ball started (like t-ball but its coach pitch). She's on the Red Sox, first game on Saturday!

 Visited daddy at work!

 Hula hoop contest at the pool party, they both loved it!

 Crashed watching a movie on my computer...great morning at the pool!

 I mean....you cant resist :)

 Kid is OBSESSED with tractors and big trucks. Total boy!

 Totally normal way to play with the water table!

First day of Pre-K!

I was so excited to start Hannah at a new preschool. Not because the Y was a bad place but I was just ready for her to have more of a challenge before she starts Kindergarten. We still have no idea what we will do for Kindergarten as the school that is in walking distance from us (which is awesome) is only half day kindergarten for 2.5 hours! Thats less than she goes to pre-k. So Im not sure. And Lamb of God kindergarten is a small fortune.... So just pray we are outta here by then!

The first day went great. She is not a huge fan of the uniforms as they "feel" her. Yes we have some clothes sensory issues so we usually wear half of the uniform in the car and finished getting dressed when we get there ha ha! But her teacher is awesome and we get an email and pictures almost every night! I love the updates. Im very thankful we have found Lamb of God.

 Second day of school and she did enjoy wearing the dress! Fridays is spirit day and they can wear a special t-shirt and denim :) But she still wants to wear the skirt! Oh and I used to never be able to brush her hair or fix it and now we do braids EVERY night!

 POOR Owen! This is him pointing at Hannah's seat wondering where she is :(

 Day 1 was a success!

 They have an awesome playground! We get there a little early each day and Owen gets to play too :)

Excited for a great year!
