Emma 2years, 9 months!

Here's our sweet Emma girl at 2 and 3/4s years.

She's such a delight & joy!

Cute pose!

Bath time with Caden and Emma!

Fairy Land

The kiddos talked Dada into going to Fairy Land again this weekend. Here are a few pictures from the last ride of the day...the Alice in Wonderland merry go round.

Riding on the Alice in Wonderland Merry-go-round

The kiddos also played outside after we were home. Here they are just enjoying sitting in Claire and Elizabeth's chairs taking a water break!

Friendship Day Parade!

I love that Caden's class had a friendship day parade around the block! (I was crying happy tears because it was so cute - and maybe because I'm pregnant and hormonal). It was so fun for the kids to walk and parents to watch! They marched around the block singing songs about friends and said a chant that spelled out "Friend!"
After the parade we went back to school and had Popsicles. Dada got to join us too.



Emma was also riding her bike like a crazy woman this morning!

Bubble Bath Beards!

This is just funny! :)

Hanging with my Caden Boy!

This morning we went to Trader Joe's after we dropped Emma off at school, then Caden rode his bike around the neighborhood!

This is for Dada - to show him brussel sprouts on the stalk

My happy bike rider!

Allergy testing

We took Caden to get tested for allergies because every time we go to Boise, Caden gets itchy red eyes and a stuffy nose. We found he was slightly allergic to grasses. We are really glad he's not allergic to animals!

Having fun with the ipad...waiting for results!

Caden wasn't a huge fan! His back was itchy!

Quick trip to Oregon

Caden and Dada went camping with Auntie Clay, Uncle Endre, Maren and Liv up at Silvercreek Falls. Emma and I played at Nana & Boppa's house!

Love a sleeping baby girl!

Wearing Boppa's hat and shoes!

Silly girl!

Emma girl likes playing in the baby bath tub and pretending she's a baby!

And here are the campers!

Another day of T-Ball and Ballet

I thought it would be a good idea to have the kids activities back to back. T-ball from 9:30-10:10am, then ballet from 10:30 to 11:15. We are always rushing from one activity to the next, but having fun along the way :)

Harley!!!

Today we met Dave and Kristi's new puppy Harley! He's sooo cute!

Uncle Mark's 100 Mile Race!

Dada was a great brother in law and drove to Ashland Oregon this weekend to be a pacer for Uncle Mark's race - Pine to Palm 100 mile race.  Dada ran the last 38 miles with him!  Uncle mark got 7th overall in a time of 21 hours and 2 minutes.

Caden's First Ever Homework!

Caden's first homework was an all about me poster! It is quite cute and he did a wonderful job coloring it. I had fun transcribing his answers to the questions.
Some of his highlights: getting to drive in the fire truck with Uncle Mark, riding on a jumbo jet to Sweden, and having a dance party before bed!

Putting the stickers on

Finished homework

Picture of Caden - love his drawing!

"super-cool facts"

First Day of Ballet

Emma is taking Ballet this fall at Tutu School on Bay street in San Francisco. She is very excited! Here she is on her first day of class! Caden is a good sport to sit through her class and entertain himself. Don't you just love her little ballet outfit!?!

Being a flower fairy dancer!

Her little ballet slippers - I was surprised the straps were already attached. My mom used to sew mine on when I was a little girl

Emma's first day of Preschool

This morning is Emma Girl's first day of preschool! She will attend Tiny Giants in the 2s class and goes to school on Tuesday and Thursday from 9-12. I'm sure she will love it! She has loved going to summer camp and I bet will love school too. I can't believe my little girl is already in preschool!

So excited for school!

Here's that cute pose!

Getting straight to work!


Caden and I went to a park to hang out because Emma only had about an hour of school this morning as they are transitioning into a full morning this month.
