Schoolio

Check out these cuties....

Everyone scored a great teacher this year.

I have a love-hate with school.

I love me some Finny girl time but am sad to let my kiddies go to be influenced by others.

I mean...if some one is going to corrupt them, I feel like it should be me! Waaa haaa.

Good luck kids, stay true!

FOURTH

SECOND (two thumbs up)

Emmy started the BIG K
 the following day...I love her toothless smile and backwards style.

Finny is ONE

August 13 our baby girl turned ONE!

Rather than getting professional one year pictures we take them with my

phone while were waiting at Sydney and Tate's soccer practice (the back drops are amazing). 

Honestly, I don't want to 

say she is our cutest baby...but I might have to...don't feel bad other kids :) Ha.

I knew for the past few years that we would have one more girl...like, really knew.

I am so grateful we got this one she is the final piece to our  puzzle, the cherry on top or whatever else you can dream up to say about this cutie pa-tootie.

I feel like I always say this, but I wish we could freeze time...well maybe after we're done with diapers.

She is a professional soccer supporter, cheese-a-lina, lover of the Momma...good time.

Happy Birthday Baby Cakes!

see...more car time!

Lot's of helpers.

We love putting Finley in the cage of love!

We get to have lot's of alone time now that school is in.

 Totally smitten with little Honey Bear.

It's been a "hard" Summer...

The troops are back in school. This is how we spent their last few days of freedom;

Exploring Alki Beach, visiting the troll under the Freemont Bridge, neighborhood hangouts, ice cream and more soccer.

I love how Summer just feels like one big party. I love pretending that my job as "Mom" is hard..."Trent, it was really hard at the beach today...oh ya and getting ice cream was soooo hard too!"

HA. I dig my job and sometimes, it really is hard.

Digging for crabs...

Ps...we learned that their is a starfish epidemic.
Starfish are getting sick and dying ..I think this one might be on his way out.
(I am not joking) Please save the starfish.

My pedaling partner.

We rented a funky beach bike.
Sydney and I were the muscle that kept it going, the other two just mooched a free ride. 

I might plant this many flowers next year..I MIGHT.

Adventures to Freemont....

Syd & Olivia

Brook Fuller and Syd played each other...love friendly competition.

Soccer RULES.

"My precious"

"Say WHAT?"

 Cooling Off...

Good to be baby.

Sienna & Syd.

Neighborhood night at the movies....

Hanging in the "Hood"....

When I can't find the kiddies....I just head to the black berry bushes.
They promise me that it's  "ALL" good things going on....

And a little something messy to end with...

I am so missing those "hard" Summer days!
