Back to School!

This is the first year since Breana started preschool that I have been able to take the kids to the first day of school. I am usually working and ask Clay every year to take pictures but it never happens. I enjoyed seeing them start a new year with new teachers. It was a big deal for me. The kids are at the age where they think I am weird and I am sure they were embarrassed by my excitement but I LOVED it!!

Pictures for Grandma!

So we have been super busy this summer. The kids went to Utah for a whole month and had soooo much fun!! They keep asking me if we can move there so they can see every one more often. They also went to Oahu for 2 weeks to visit with Clay's family and they want to move there too!! So, before we went to Utah we took some pictures for Grandma Mecham. I am terrible at sending updated photos and try to bring some when we visit. Here are a few that we took.

What we have been up to.

The kids just finished their baseball season a couple of weeks ago.
We have been so busy at the ball park that it's been awhile since we have been
able to post an updated.



This is how Kailee spent part of the season. Bundled in socks, pajamas, coat, hat, and gloves, in the snugli with a blanket covering her. Some of the games were pretty cold and we had to be prepared for any kind of weather. It was reminiscent of Montana:).

April fools

We missed you today cousin Meghan!!
Today we enjoyed a delicious April fools dinner of spaghetti pie and broccoli milkshakes and remembered our meatloaf cake that was shared with cousin Meghan last year!

Kailee pictures!

The kids and I have been crazy busy with little league. Here are some recent pics of Kailee.

Finally the beach!

We have been trying to get to the beach this holiday break but every morning at least one of us had a cough. We finally made it yesterday. The kids and I got up and went to the beach and left Dad home to sleep. He had a looong day on the 31st and we thought we would leave him a quite house to catch up on some sleep.


Kailee's first trip to the beach!



Breana and T.J. attempting to stand on their body boards.

Breana walking up with her flippers still on. Some of the clutzy goofy things she does reminds me of someone... Who is it? Oh wait, it's me!



T.J. working on his baywatch moves.

Thank you Eric for the awesome beach tent that lets Kailee snooze while the kids enjoy the beach.

Gas

I have to take a moment and express my gratitude for gas. Yes I am talking about farts, barneys, barking spiders ( must I go on?). Don't get me wrong I am four square against public displays of bodily functions and am constantly trying to teach T.J. when and where it is appropriate. The elevator T.J.? Really? NOT cool.
There are 2 very specific reasons that I am talking about.

1 Gas can be your best friend when you have just had a c-section and are being refused real food until you pass some.
2 Anything that makes the babies do this is okay with me.






At least until she can smile voluntarily!
