Lauren's Photo Shoot

One evening last week while the kids were getting ready for bed I heard Hadley & Lauren playing & giggling for the longest time. I found these pictures on my camera and realized how they were occupying themselves . . .

First Day Of School - 2011

The day before school started Gma Tigger & A.Molly came out to make the day extra special. Vincent had Kindergarten orientation and the kids went to see a movie while others napped. After dinner we went to the school to check the class listings. How fun to all do it together, come home for back-to-school cake & get blessings from Daddy. Morning time! (Even Gentry woke early - unlike the rest of the summer :(
To say Vincent loves Kindergarten is an understatement. He was so excited and was all about wearing collared shirts, wondering when they're going to get homework & best of all, sitting next to his friend Charlotte, here & in primary - they are great buddies.

End of Summer

Thanks to Chris' appendicitis we got a couple fun family days the last week of summer. We went to the beach, the movies, fishing at the trout ponds and took in a Quakes baseball game.

Each of the kids got to catch one trout. Gma & A.Molly met us up there in Mt.Baldy. We went back to their house for a BBQ & Chris tried cooking two trout.
