West Coast Peeps

The first week in August Ryan's brother and his wife and their two kids flew in for a week. We always have a great time with them and love getting to see the kids together. P and Sadie are five months apart and M and Braden are eight months apart. For the most part, they did great together!
It was of course typical weather for August...sweat, hot, humid, and mosquitos. But we made the most of it and had lots of fun and laughs. Already looking forward to the next visit.

Can I get a whoop whoop for 2nd grade!?

It's that time of year again... August in these parts means it's time for kids to head back to school, and that includes our little P. As you know, our annual tradition is a back to school date with P--just her, myself, and her Daddy. Nick and ML watch the boy for us. And let me tell you, these days, that is no easy feat.
I love doing these dates with her. She can be such a pleasure to be with and since there is also a little brother in the picture, we don't always get to spend a lot of one-on-one time with her; not to mention she always chooses Olive Garden for dinner. My girl knows good food!
The list this year was a lot like the one last year. We were able to recycle some supplies from last year and also got to stock up on some new things for this year. We took a couple of pics before heading out for our night on the town...
