first day of school!

hard to believe i have a first grader and a fourth grader…

the first day of school went well! they loved seeing their old friends and making a few new ones!! 🙂 and their teachers were so sweet – here’s a to an awesome school year ahead!

where did july go????

i feel like i blinked and july flew by me! we finally did finish that epic road trip and continued having a few fun summer adventures in the desert. grandpapa came to town and we tried new restaurants and let carter and halle “help” grill,

we played glow in the dark mini golf,

learned new instruments at music camp, including the violin,

met new friends at vbs,

had a blast at the swim championships,

AND visited feed my starving children again, this time with aunty 🙂

it was indeed a busy summer full of adventures (especially that neverending road trip :))
