Mia is 4!

First week of school

School started this week. Kennedy is off to 4th grade, Elizabeth is in 1st, and Luke is in 7th grade! Do I really have a 7th grader?? Unbelievable.

All ready for class to start.

I found a great deal on a few plants at home depot, so got a few to start beautifying the yard! And poor Mia was sick on Friday. She was using the infamous "throw-up bowl". I used this as a kid when I was sick and a few years ago when we were in Seattle our girls were sick so the bowl came home with us. So we now have the bowl for my kids to use. .. isn't that special??

Oceanside, CA

We had a great time visiting my sister, Shareen and her family in Oceanside, CA. We were able to make a stop in St. George on our way to check on my parents home and visit some friends. Of course one of the highlights was being able to see Wicked in San Diego. .. I LOVED it. Thanks to Shareen for taking the kids for the evening. I just wish I would have spent a little more money for some close seats. We were at the front of the balcony, but it would have been nice to be closer. Next time, right? On Thursday night we went to this street fair and realy loved it. The girls found (with David's help of course) these bracelets with cools bugs in them. We also took some family picture this night. Shareen was kind enough to play photographer for us. . .. some of those picture are in the earlier post. I am quite pleased with how they turned out. Not bad for my little camera!

Of course we had plenty of beach time. We love going to the beach. I am so glad the Mike and Shareen are willing to put up with us every year when we come!!

Until next year. . . .
