Leah's 4!

August 21st was Leah's birthday. The two pictures above are on her actual birthday. She had fun opening her presents and having a family party. If you look closely at the brownies there has already been samplings by the birthday girl earlier in the day. She had a birthday party a few days later with her friends. This was her first birthday party she has had. We're pretty sure she had a fun time. It was complete with a treasure hunt, relay races, water balloons, opening presents and eating with her friends. We are so happy to have Leah in our family. We love that she is independent, a great sister, and has an incredible imagination. We love you Leah!

Back to Business

It's that time of year again. School has started. There are soccer practices to get to. Life is busy once again. Although I have to say routine is good in our family. Brynn is in first grade and gets to stay all day. She enjoys getting to have lunch at school and comes home exhausted! Abby is now in 4th grade. I can't believe it! She has tests to study for, projects to do, and not enough time to get everything done. Leah can't wait to start preschool in October. For now, she gets to rule the house for 6 hours everyday. Shea and Leah are getting pretty good at playing together. And I feel like I have a chance to get things done.

Beach House #2

We spent another week at another beach house with Trent's side of the family this year too! We had lots of fun catching up with everyone.
Brynn and Leah stayed at home instead of going to a baseball game. Trent brought home some cotton candy for them, and yes they got to eat it for breakfast. Some things you can get away with on vacation!
