Band Show Bound

Let the season begin!

Science Fair Success

Lillian raced home to tell me her science fair project was selected to be the in the Top 4 of her 5th grade class.

We are so proud of Lillian and her hard work. Well done Birdy!

Wookie Adventures

Bingo Reading for 2nd grade homework

 First tooth Lost

And a pajama change, upside sleeping kind of night

Serving Together

Its not always easy to get up early in the morning, but doing it together helps.

She's Licensed to Drive 😳

Stay off the roads....

So proud of Madison and her determination to get her license (on the first try) and her excitement to drive herself to her many band practices.

She's not so little any more.

Adventures with Aunt Z

In celebration of Aunt Beth and Uncle Sean's new house, Aunt Z flew to New Hampshire to visit.

 Cutest Welcoming Committee

 Morning Scooter Rides to the bus stop (even on vacation I am doing bus duty :)

 Squirty cream snacks (Hallelujah for a dairy free squirt cream option - I LOVE New Hampshire)

Thomas thought Aunt Z needed a bandage upgrade- skin tone was just not good enough.

 Evie Lee all tuckered out after a days adventure. She loves her puppy rug from Nana and Omi and sleeps on it every night.

 A true and authentic tiny smile- Cheese!

 Poses and smiles at the museum

 Cookies and Cream- a perfect post school snack

 Saturday morning soccer fans

A quick water front pose

Thanks for a great visit Meierdiercks! Can't wait for our next adventure together.

Labor Day Weekend Adventures

Snuggles and Lunch out with Momma for the littles

While Nana and Madi played in Illinois

Madison even made and grilled her own burger for dinner- yum yum

Littles School Pictures- Fall

5th grade- Lillian

 2nd Grade- Cooper

Band Season Begins

Fall is just around the corner and with the start of the school year also comes full time band season :)

One of Madison's biggest fans came to cheer her on at the first football game of the year... he could not wait to give her a hug afterward.

And of course, there was a request for a celebratory milkshake :)

Its going to be another great season

Anything for the Love of Reading

Under Tables

Upside down

And comfy hide-aways

Whatever it takes to encourage Birdy to read

Little Lego Man

Weekend Adventures

Momma and Daddy traipsing up the and down the coast of Florida on a quick weekend get away

While the Littles (and un-pictured Madi) enjoyed adventures of their own with Nana and Omi

I love that Cooper is sitting on Lillian's lap to help warm her up- these two melt my heart. 

1 Day of School 2018

Ready for another year of School

Madison (16) is a Junior, Lillian (10) is in 5th grade, and Cooper (7) is in 2nd grade. 

One last selfie before heading to the bus

 With 3 Sparkles, in 3 different schools there is a bit of down time and waiting your turn each morning. 

Here is Cooper enjoying a bit of electronic time before his bus arrives.

End of Summer Fun

Its always amazing how quickly time flies, especially when your having fun.

Just a few last adventures before school begins

Trips to the bakery for cookies and coffee

 Lunch with friends at Taco Bell

Baseball Games with Band Friends

 Unexpected illnesses 😳

 And Summer homework...
Cooper loved going to Orange Leaf with Momma (purple) Daddy (blue) in Albert (our van)

There is also always time for selfies with Momma

Its been a great summer

Unscheduled Evictions

What better way to celebrate the end of summer then a trip to the pediatric dentist to have not 1 but 2 teeth extracted.
Cooper really knows how to Go Big or Go Home :)

Playing in the waiting room while waiting for his appointment.

A Giant Light Bright

 And shooting hoops

 Each room is equipped with a tv and Netflix (on the ceiling)

 Making himself comfortable with Blank-D and Rufus

 Gassed up and ready to go

 All finished and settling in at home

 Here are the two recently evicted teeth

 and the HUGE cavities that were the culprits for the mouth issues

First appointment complete, two more to go.
