First day of Tumble Ballet....

All I know when I left the dance studio, I was laughing hysterically because all the kids were just ready to go!  And when Jared picked them up this is the picture he took.  They are crazy, tired, happy TWINKS!

September 5th - Labor Day 2011

 We didn't do much this Labor Day, we were resting up from a very long weekend, we had a huge yard sale, Jared went to a U of M game with Dad, Jared sang, and we got ready for the kids first day of preschool.  No family get-2-gethers, which is strange, but on Monday, the kids and I were outside playing and this is what I pulled out of the garden.  And the Watermelons were so tasty. 

Just some smiles.............

 Wish I had taken my sunglasses off.

 Look in the background - she is not right!

First Day of Pre-School Sept. 6th, 2011

 So their first day didn't go as I had dreamt of on countless days.....I guess I imagined I would wake up with them, make them a nice breakfast, get them ready, have conversation's about what they would be doing that day.... Nope, not even close.  All of my staff was gone at work so I was the only one there, no way of not going to work that day.  Made Mommy very sad, the whole excursion was pretty much comical at that point.  And to top it off the weather was very chilly.  But alas, the first day was a success and they seemed to have enjoyed their new freedom. 

 

 

At one point Gray told me I was only allowed 2 pictures and that I had taken enough. 

 Getting name tags from the TA

 What Mom?

 Squirrely-Bird, but happy.

 The Twinks have to sign in each morning, they trace their names. By the 6th letter, Charlie was all set, but did it on her own. 

 

Not sure if Miss Ehrenberg has any idea the havoc these 3 can cause?

Sunrise....

Sunrise on my way to work today 08/26/11

To perfect to not share.

I love the fog resting on the blueberry field.

Happy Friday Beautiful People!

just another day at the pool....

 So when you get out of work at 5pm and its 92 degrees outside, there's only one choice! Go to the pool and cool off.  Grayson is trying to get on his skateboard. Accident waiting to happen but those water boards got so much use this summer!!

 bombs away... I love the fact that they are both smiling while flying thru the air.

Rumsey/Priebe Wedding 8.20.2011

Sometimes when you go to a wedding, you realize why you got married in the first place.  Some days I think we all lose sight of that love, that feeling, that romance, that passion and when you see another couple in the depths of all of those emotions-love puts you back in check. 

I have always loved weddings but this one was special.  There was a lot of love in that room, a tremendous amount of support from two beautiful families and one heck of a group of friends.  May their love continue to grow and become bigger than they ever imagined. 
~Congrats Jill & Aaron~

Friday @ the beach....... Then the pool then Smores & Sparklers.........

Last Friday was my first Friday off so the kids and I went to the beach after breakfast. The water was FREEZING!!! Like painful cold.  But they had a great time as you can see.  After the beach we went home, both got baths due to the amount of sand in their hair and on their bodies.  After nap time we went to the pool and played for a few hours, it was a fabulous day!  After the pool we went and got groceries then came home and prepared for the Knox Kids & Friends Smores & Sparklers extravaganza..  The kids were up late, but they had an absolute blast, can't wait to do it all again!  Thanks Canning and Berta-Williams Families for joining us!! And Uncle Jeff for the super long sparklers, the kids loved them.
