Random pictures from September!

 Ava was so excited about going to the Puyallup fair, she set up her ponies and was pretending they were waiting in line for a ride. She is so funny! This girl LOVES the fair!! I decided to not cart my camera along with us to the fair this year. I wish I would have now, but I have to admit….it was kinda nice to not feel like I had to take pictures of everything! We got the girls some dizzy passes for unlimited rides, and they rode their hearts out! We let Ava skip school to go! We got to the fair right at opening, and there weren't very many lines! Score!!

 Pinecone bird feeders!

 Kitty pool on the trampoline? Why not!

 Cookies!!

 She said "PREEEETTTTY!!!"

A little dress up...

With Halloween just around the corner, Ava and I decided to play a little dress up! Ava loves the song "What's Up" from the 4 Non Blondes. Today we dressed her up like Linda Perry, tattoos and all, and took some pictures! We had so much fun! It was fun to just let Ava be Ava, and capture her sweet personality.

First day of Pre-K!

Today was Reese's first day of Preschool! We joined a co-op with 5 other families, and we switch off weeks to host preschool! I have been so nervous about this, because Reese is pretty clingy when she knows Mom is leaving. Ava helped build up her confidence. This morning when Reese got up, she was SOOO excited! She was most excited about this my little pony backpack she picked out! When I dropped her off, she went willingly and happily! YAY Reese!!

First day of 2nd grade!!

YAY!!! I can hardly believe that I have a second grader!! Stop time, please stop.

Last few day's of Summer vacation!

Nose…

Eye…

Raf snagged this shot while I was making dinner. I love my life!!!

Valerie's cheesy grin when you tell her to "smile!" I love it!!

A little hike!

We went on a little adventure today! This lake is in Enumclaw, about 40 minutes from our house. It's been so dry this summer, that practically the entire thing has dried up! I drove by it on my way to a photo shoot a month or so ago, and knew we had to bring the girls here! So cool!!
