Noah was very excited today. He just got his braces. He picked two types of blue. The excitement quickly wore off as the pain began to hit!

SWIM TEAM!

Swim Team has been the highlight of our summer. I was thrilled when the kids broke up from school in June (even more thrilled to quit my job and become a stay at home mom again but I digress!) however I was concerned about keeping a 9 year old and 8 year old entertained without too much TV or Video Games. Swim Team was the answer. This is our second year with the Stingrays and it has made summer fly by.

Daddy's Promotion

Daddy's promotion was right in the middle of summer which meant an added bonus of grandma and grandpa visiting. I think the kids were much more excited about eating out and ordering room service then his actual ceremony but of course they won't admit it!

Daddy and Uncle Chris Climb Mount Ranier

Daddy and Uncle Chris have been planning a boys trip for a while. My idea of a trip would maybe a spa or to some great restaurants. They chose to climb an icy mountain..Each to their own!!!

Paiges Holy Communion

Summer started with Paiges Holy Communion. She doesn't act as sweet as she looks
