Getting Ready

We still have one more week before schools starts, but we are getting ready. I've signed the kids up for most of their fall activities and we've been "back to school" shopping. Now hopefully I will be cool enough to come up with one last hurrah before we start school.

Here's the new backpacks and lunch boxes.
Three kids...three very different styles--love it!!

Little Brother

I have to say, Tyson makes being a little brother look so fun:) His sisters just adore him...and most of the time, he plays along with their silly games!

Yesterday, they decided that they would each take turns "marrying" him.
I love this one, with the hand in the pocket and the bare belly--quite the catch:)
Love the chocolate beard and the untied dress...such cuties.
Here's Tyson trying to keep up with Kya.

I think anyone would love a cute little brother like this!!!

Where the grass is really greener

We have really been enjoying some WARM summer weather the past couple days!! This is a great place to live...we are about 10 degrees cooler than downtown, but still warmer than Monterey:) Jordan has been in "Dolphin Camp" this week, swimming with the sharks (literally!!) and we've been playing in the "not-so-hot" tub.

And I got a great deal on these cute bikini bottoms (since they were missing a top), to go with Kya's swimshirt.

Finally Finally Finally

Kya has been waiting a LONG time for this day!! While most of her friends have lost at least 4 teeth, Kya was feeling very left out...not any more...Daddy pulled her first tooth out this morning:) Look at that beautiful smile!!

One of My Beauties

I love taking pictures AND Jordan loves having her picture taken!
So we took off this evening for a quick photo shoot.
Here are some of my favorites:)

Look at that gorgeous hair!!!
What a cutie!
I love the hat pictures!!
I think this one is my favorite:)

My Home and Native Land

Every summer I get to go "home" to Canada...and every trip is filled with so much FUN.
There really isn't anything better than family!

There's always lots of cousin

There's always lots of swimming

There's always lots of berry picking

and lots of Grandma and Grandpa

And THIS year...

We got to see the Vancouver temple
(my sisters and I also got to do a session together!!)

And I finally got to meet my newest niece AlainaEven though it's nice to be home, I miss my family every day!!

Friends?

We are off to Canada today. Hopefully Mike and Miley will be okay without us:)

Someone is 7 today...

Happy Birthday Kya!! We love you so much:)
