a baby shower

me and a couple friends threw a baby shower for my good friend and next door neighbor Melissa! (she is having her 4th boy!)

Everyone that came got to customize a onesie or a bib for little baby Knox, everyone got really creative, it was fun!

our UEA "stay-cation"

We didn't have big plans to go anywhere over the weekend but we played here! We went to see Despicable Me,( so funny!) and went to Trafalga, we went to Gardener village and did the witch scavenger hunt and went to the Drive-in.... at our house!

Zane spent a lot of time on his box/car and was excited to save it for the next "drive-in"

tooth fairy

{pumpkin land}

we went to pumpkin land with my sisters, mom and kids... the kids love Pumpkin Land and we go every year!

Bella even found a black widow to play with....AAAHHHH! (luckily it didn't bite!)

She was climbing on every animal cage she could.

{Craft Night}

We made witch brooms for a fun Halloween porch decoration and Janell's was super big (until Taylor came home to cut it) and we were giggling at ourselves as we lined up to take a picture...We were "carpooling"

{Vegas Baby}

Ryan had to go pick up a couple of cars at the auction in Vegas... so I quickly invited myself to go along! We had a good time, of course, even though it was quick. We rode down in the Jeep and both got so some sun!

{Zane lost his 1st tooth}

He has been so excited about his wiggly tooth for quite a while, dad finally pulled it out! He was pumped about the tooth fairy coming and drew up this sign for his door....

translation: Fairies (check), people (crossed out)

Ryan had a smart idea, and said "ah give him 5 bucks, its his first tooth, then just take it back and take him to the dollar store and let him pick one or two things"... so that's what happened until we went to the dollar store and holding his hand out, said "K mom, where is my 5 bucks, I get to pick out five things, oh ya!" He was nice and bought two things for Noah too!

Grandpa was commenting on his lost tooth and asked if the tooth fairy had come and he told him "ya and she brought me 5 bucks, and it was even a tinesy tooth" with a little laugh.

labor day camping

Bells doing her chores

I started unloading the dishwasher and Bella climbed up and one by one started grabbing the cups and tossing them in the drawer, all the boys came running in and thought it was the coolest thing the Bella was doing "chores"

first grade

Zane started First grade! I can't believe it! He is my smart little boy and so excited to go back to school! He was totally pumped about going all day and having lunch at school.

He also really, really loved being able to ride the bus!

He started school at a new charter and it has been quite the experience... it is however getting better as we go along.

When I asked Zane, "how was school?" zane- "Perfect!"
