Beach Day

09.10.16

 After a day at Disneyland a relaxing day at the beach was perfect!

We headed to our usual spot at Newport, had lunch and played on the beach.

 Immediately hole digging began! I was happy to see Nick and Alex both in the water since this was our first time back at the beach since their near drowning experience back in March.  

We hung out and played all day and then  headed back to the hotel for more swimming and relaxing in the hot tub before we got ready for dinner at Cheesecake Factory. Such a fun weekend!

Disneyland

 09.09.16

 We skipped school and work and went to Disneyland for Scarlett's first birthday! 

"Making memories with the mouse" & Scarlett was the "cutest mouse ever".

Getting everyone to wear their mouse ears isn't as easy as it used to be!

Scarlett loved Toon Town.

Riding rides, waiting in line, and for the parade.

Aubrey got an autograph book and loved finding the characters.

I made aubrey ride Splash Mountain. She had her head buried in my lap the whole time.

"Back to School Brawl" [Labor Day Weekend

09.03-09.05.16

Labor Day weekend for our family has come to mean lots of baseball between the 3 boys as they play the "Back to School Brawl" tournament.

Between the 3 teams we had 17 games in 3 days! 

For pool play 10u Knights (Cooper) went 4-0 and lost their first game in bracket play.

11u Knights went 3-1 and came in 2nd place in the Silver Division.

14u Diamondbacks went 3-1 and ended up winning the championship in the Gold Division.

A BIG win calls for a team dab!

SNIPER! These boys pulled off another win.

Getting back into this whole school thing!

 After I drooped all the kids off for their first day of school I went to the pool at the M with friends to celebrate! After having half day school for the last 10 years straight I needed a little celebration! My day still flies by, but it is nice to have all day to get stuff done.

 I spy Cooper in the back row! I love that his teacher send me pictures.

 Multitasking at its finest: watching a show on the iPad and emptying all the trashes.

 Cute kiddos off to school early to get in some extra play time!

 Nick is the best! Without even asking he LOVES to run to the store for e to grab what I need!

 Cooper came home from baseball practice with a puffy eye. He got stung by a bee at practice and he must have rubbed his eye with the stinger still in his finger. After a quick trip to the doctor the stinger was removed and got an allergy shot in the bum he was all good to go to school.

 I have been so impressed with Aubrey and how well she likes school. Even when Cooper wasn't there to walk in with her she said, "I can go by myself and be brave."

 Aubrey is turning into a "Daddy's girl"!

 Aubrey is also LOVING homework and reading!

By the end of the first week of school it is safe to say that these kids were missing their screen time! I found all of them chilling with some sort of screen.
