The Fair!

Avery absolutely LOVED the carousel...

I don't think I've ever seen Charlie so excited in his life!!

Sadie and Shep... someone asked if they were twins??!!

I'm a little late posting this... Last Friday we headed last minute to the Puyallup Fair with the kids and our good friends the Thomasons. It was so much fun! Being there at night reminded me of highschool. It was a perfect night! Let's just say the boys were slightly excited about going on the rides...

First Day of School!

Today was Charlie's first day of preschool! His last year before Kindergarten. This year, he is returning to Country Junction, so he was excited to see all his friends from last year. But even more exciting... this year AVA is in his class! These two have been attatched at the hip since they were born , so today was a very exciting day. They LOVE eachother. Obviously.

Avery got all excited for school today too. She kept telling me that she was going to Kindergarten.

Busy Weekend

This last weekend was fun and busy for our family! First, Friday, we headed East to Pasco for a family party for my Aunt and Uncle celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Charlie, Avery, and Sadie got to meet their 16 second cousins! Then, later that evening, we put the kids in the car dressed in their pajamas, and headed to Crescent Bar to celebrate Krisin's birthday with the Myers'.

The weather in CB was TERRIBLE, but there was a beautiful rainbow at the end of the day. Saturday night we had an evening out. We always have such a great time with our friends!

Kaylee, Emily, Joelle, Avery, Charlie, Sadie, Micah, Josiah, and Megan (I have six cousins, and between all of them, there are seventeen kids!)

End of Summer Favorites

Summer around here has nearly come to an end... Here are some of my favorite pics of the last couple of weeks. Above you see Avery enjoying her first pony ride at the church picnic... :)

Here is Sadie thinking she would love to be a cowgirl someday...

And in other news... Sadie has learned to walk! She makes tracks all over our house, and it is now her preferred method of transportation. She almost seems too little to be toddling around

Playing in the back yard, as usual...

This is one of my favorite pictures ever! It just encompasses everything joyfully summer.

Sadie has taken a new fascination to babies, something her bigger sister never picked up...

My handsome little Charlie
