And she's off...

Another backpack & lunch pail joined the group today, as our

little Savannah started Kindergarden today.  She was happy

to go and join her brothers at school.

It's a new phase of our life now, with all the kids in

school all day.  It sure went fast!  I'll miss having

as much special time with my littel girl, but I know that

she will do wonderful and make lots of friends.

These guys also started school today, it's an old hat for them.

Trevor is now in 4th and Griffin is in 2nd I hope they have

an awesome year as well!

Picture Day

I took the kids to have their pictures done today.  Let me say, it was much
harder this time around than it has ever been.  Savannah was wonderful the
whole time. The boys on the other hand, well let's just say they were trying.
From not staying still, to either no smile, or huge goofy smiles.  
We survived, here's the proof.

I sure do love my goofballs!!

Sweet

Today I got an early birthday present in the mail from my father-in-law
and his lovely wife  ;)
I've always wanted an ice cream maker!  Can't wait to give it a try.
Thanks you guys so much, you're so thoughtful!

Take me out to the ballgame

Last night we took the kids out to their first Isotopes baseball game. 

The kids all had free tickets, and they had a special deal going for

Intel employees, buy one get one free.  So, we only had to buy

one ticket.  It was a really fun night, filled with yummy treats.

This is last last big family event we will be doing before the kids

go back to school next week.  It's been a great summer, I just

wish it had not gone so fast.

How did this happen?

The kids all picked out lollipops at Disneyland, which they enjoyed today.
Notice the size? The biggest kid picked the smallest one, while the smallest
kid picked the biggest one. We said they could pick which ever ones they
wanted (promise),  funny how things work out.
