Squaw Rock Camping

 

With a hectic week behind us, I wanted to get away with the kids for the night. We were glad the weather held for us. Tirzah took her first camping trip with expertise. The boys fished, built fires, made friends, skipped rocks, went on hikes and played games. Tirzah and I snuggled by the fire with a good book! We really had a great time.

Silas the Defender

 

Silas has truly enjoyed soccer. I had to miss his last game, the only game I've ever missed. I was looking forward to seeing the pictures dad took. I got to hear over and over again about some steals he had and some goals too. I sure love this kid.

Zion's Greeeat First day of PreK

 

It's been a long wait for Zion. He was ready to go back to school weeks ago! Today was the day for him! He wore is Karate Chop fruit shirt, that he's been so excited to wear. Preschool is bittersweet, hard to believe this is our 5th year of preschool!

Who are we? MUSTANGS!

 

Malakai had his first football game, he is a starter on the line. One of the smallest kids on the team and he plays with his hole heart. He never missed a hit or a tackle. I was so proud of him. It's going to be a fun season! He had nearly the largest cheering crowd in the stands too!

Tirzah is 2 months

 

Miss Tirzah turns 2 months today! What a blessing this baby girl has been to me. Her smile makes the day shine! She coos and giggles in the happiest, most perfect way. God has plans for this little girl, and I am blessed to be her mom.

Silas' First Soccer Game

 

Silas played in his first soccer game and loved it. I had so much fun watching him I forgot to take pictures during the game! More games to come and yes, more pictures too!

Labor Day Parade

 

Nothing like a small town parade, sitting on the street with friends, family and neighbors. Malakai rode on the Grid Kids float and had a great time. Silas and Zion chased candy with their friends and cousins. Tirzah enjoyed her morning nap and slept right thru the bands, sirens, and shrieking kids. A great day, with fantastic people!

Malakai is off to 3rd grade!

 

Something about changing schools sure made 3rd grade so much harder for me. No longer can I watch him make his trek to school, or have him stop at the corner and blow me a kiss. He's a big kid now. I held his hand till we were aroung the corner, then he had no more of that. Ready set go, Malakai!

Oh the places you'll go!

 

Silas is off to Kinder! It was a long walk to the portables for me. But he had pep in his step and was anxious to be off. He said Hello to a few special friends, and got to right to work. He wanted to walk by himself this morning, of course we said we had to take him, it's the rule! We are blessed that he has the same Kinder teacher Malakai had. I am anxious and excited to hear how his first day goes!
