Another first day of school


Cort had his first day of Preschool!
He was so excited!  He was counting down the sleeps for a week.  Then jumping up and down when we would cross off a sleep on the chalk board.  The morning of school, we dropped off Ella and Ty at their classrooms and Cort was bouncing down the hall all the way to his room!  I wish we could bottle up his excitement! It was adorable!

Labor Day Camping

Another camping trip over Labor Day. 

 
Ella and I played some very unsuccessful rounds of Bingo. These are our empty boards a few numbers into the round.  Ella finally got close on the last round, the grand finale.  She was one chip away from winning!!




This little guy can be a handful sometimes.  I found him brushing his teeth in the shower one day.

But he followed it up with a very peaceful nap. How cute is that!

The rock climbing wall was a big hit! This is Ella on the left and Ty on the right. Cort is about to start too.

Cort reached the top.

Even Tripp could do it, with a few extra foot holds from daddy.

Beautiful morning for a hike up the dunes.


Nap time didn't go quite as smooth on day 2.



Good time for some pool and sun!



Cort was a great big brother and pulled Tripp around in the red wagon. But Cort also parked Tripp and the wagon under our table.  Tripp didn't seem to mind!

Ella roasted the perfect marshmallow and made a very tasty smore.

Movie night!


My little buddy at a cute moment.

Awesome pool, but slightly chilly on Labor Day!

School

Yup, here we are again! School has started and we have a 4th grader and a Kindergartener. My how time flies!



Apples and Peaches

We picked some apples and peaches one morning.  We had the best peach pie from those huge peaches!





Tripp and Cort going to pick the same peach!

Airport

We spent some time enjoying activities at the airport.




Daddy and Ty took a ride in this airplane on a beautiful morning!
  
While Cort and Tripp had some fun in the hanger.


Dutch Village

Dutch Village with a few extra friends.








T-ball

Ty and Cort tried t-ball this summer.  It was a great experience for both of them!





Cort up to bat

Ty up to bat. If you look close, you can see his tongue sticking out!

Handsome

This handsome young man had a brief time to see his new school room and meet his new Kindergarten teacher.  He was so excited that he wanted to wear "fancy" clothes, church shoes, and a bow tie!
