Summer Is Coming To An End!

Summer is coming to an end fast. We have done lots of fun things. Most... I didn't take pictures of. Here are a few things we got some snap shots of.

 Our new puppy Pebbles. Chihuahua... is so cute. She loves everyone in the family and is way scared of strangers and fire pits. We love her.

 This picture is just how Jake has been all summer... super wild.

 Jake started Preschool this year. I was only going to do 2 days but remember the part of him being so wild... we decided to go with 3 and it has been so good for him. He loves his teacher and the school.

 Jake loves dinosaurs and I just knew this was the school for him when we walked in and there was this dinosaur bone puzzle... and tons of dinosaurs to play with.

 Waiting to go into his class the first day... he's watching the other class that starts just before he does.

 It's so nice to have him so excited about school. He has only been 2 weeks and he has come home singing songs and talking so much about what he did at school that day.

 We have done the Black Ridge Reservoir a lot this year. They have made some big changes and it's so fun... and free! When it comes to entertaining kids all summer some things have to be free. The kids love it.

 And my Lydia turned 9! She wanted a friend party... I don't like friend parties... so much pressure to make it nice. We give the kids the choice of going out alone with mom and dad for some one on one time or a party. They always pick party. When I was growing up I never picked party... we always picked alone time. Maybe thats the difference between six kids and 3 kids.

 Happy Birthday Lydia... we love you so much and can't believe you have blessed our lives with 9 years already.

My boy... tonight... running a fever and not feeling so hot. Pebbles giving some much needed cuddles. Sorry buddy!!!! So my girls start school on Thursday... I will be in tears... Hate not having them home. Goodbye Summer... see you next year!
