First day of school/College Reunion

The first week of school is over :) It was a good week. Long..but good :) As always, tryouts hurt your heart when some of the kids get cut :(. The girls both had a good week and seemed to have relatively not a lot of homework :)

Annual First day of school picture :) (they look a little sleepy!!)

Friday night we hosted our annual NAU Vball Teammate reunion. It is so awesome that 7 of us still get together. There were 18 kids ranging from 4 months to 13 years old :) Ruth brought her annual "Welcome Ruth" cake :)

Some of the kids in the pool..they played kickball, capture the flag, red rover....so cute!!

All teammates from '88 :)

Where Did Summer Go???!!!

Today is the last day off before the girls return to school tomorrow. They each had a friend sleep over to have one last hurrrahhhh!! The reality of me having to go back to work doesn't bother me...people have to work...what really freaks me out is that Codi is going to be in 6th grade and Carli is going to be in 8th grade!!!!! Craig and I's first precious gift that took a lengthy time to get is going to be in 8th grade!!!!! :(

We had an absolutely amazing summer!!! The girls still talk about the New York trip and how many cool things they experienced!! We spent some time with Uncle Lance and Mosty, had two quick trips of San Diego and camping. We really wish we could have camped more!!!

As we get ready to dive in to the hectic day to day "stuff"...homework, practices, and tournaments...my hope is to do a better job this year to make time to spend with our family. It seems like just yesterday Craig and I were holding these babies in our arms!!!

Here are some pics from "the final weekend" :)

Friday we headed to the Dallmans for dinner to celebrate Kayla's birthday and to say goodbye to Kelli before she headed off to play vball at NAU :) (go jacks :)
