after spending the week taking lots of pictures on vacation, we decided that Kyle’s hair has gotten a little long. So first thing we did this morning (even before unpacking) was cut Kyle’s hair.
before…
after…
*vacation pictures to come soon…I really need to unpack and get this house organized first :)
here are pictures from Owen’s game last Saturday. He played goalie the first quarter (his first time ever) and did really good. Go Stormtroopers!!
Coach Peter
We have a new principal at our school this year. He’s started a program called Dr. Alva’s All Stars which lets each teacher pick 2 all stars in their class every month. One for character and one for academic. They invite the family to a special morning assembly (8am, 55 minutes before school starts might I add) to recognize all the kids and we get muffins and juice. It was really hard to get all the kids and me ready by 7:45 so we could be there on time and get a good seat (front row) but the Costco Chocolate muffins was definitely worth it!
Quincy was chosen by her teacher Mrs. Dunham for character. That makes a mother feel real good that not only is she behaving, but she is standing out with her positive attitude!
better late than never right? I’ve started using blog writer to update my blog (I’m a little slow I know) and it is soooo much easier and faster to do. So I may start keeping this thing up to date.
All my school age children on the first day of school before the girls took off.

Owen with his teacher Mrs. Elcock.
Jacob all lined up and ready to go inside.
And now it’s just me and Kyle which makes me sad and happy all at the same time.
Our summer was filled with swim lessons for the boys and went by super fast! We had three birthdays, went to Utah for 3 weeks and squeezed in a little camping trip as well.
Abbey’s 10th birthday was June 5th.
pics from our trip to Utah…
Jacob’s 5th Birthday and Owen’s 7th birthday on June 23rd.
an unwanted little critter in my house…hadn’t seen any in the house the 4 years we lived here and we found 2 that day…in completely different areas of the house! luckily Abbey had no problem catching it for me.
Jacob being the excellent helper he is…even though Kyle was just playing with the bottle and had no interest in drinking it.
Kyle’s first big boy bath!
Camping with friends…
I forgot my camera camping so these are the few pics taken with my phone.
camping wears you out!
That’s it…our summer in a nutshell :)
we had our first soccer games on Saturday.
Quincy is the small one in the middle in blue.
Abbey chasing the ball.
Jacob kicking a corner kick.
I am a slacker mom and didn’t get any of Owen didn’t get any pictures of him during his game or his super hot coach (Peter) because I was feeding Kyle a bottle. Hopefully I will get some pictures this weekend. It gets more and more fun to watch my kids play every year!
Kyle is now 10 months old and crawling everywhere. His hair is getting long but I can’t bear to cut it cause I think he is too cute. I’m just not ready for him to look like a toddler. I want him to stay a baby forever…
My friend Liz is an amazing photographer and took some pictures of Kyle last week. Check them out!
I know it’s been a looong time since I’ve posted, but don’t get your hopes up just yet. I still haven’t downloaded pictures from the last couple of months (it is on my “to do list” but the priority is low) but I need some advice.
Kyle is 8 1/2 months old now and I am ready to wean him. The problem is he won’t have anything to do with a bottle. This kid is super stubborn and is so good at keeping his jaw shut. Any suggestions on how to get a bottle hater to be a bottle lover?
***I know that it is recommended to nurse for a year, but I mentally can’t do it anymore, so no comments of that nature please.***
we forgot to take an after photo, but he pretty much looks the same.
