Labor Day Campout

One of the best things about Grandma Nettie is her desire to honor our family traditions and to make opportunities for us to spend time together. Each Labor Day we camp out in Grandma's yard, watch a movie outdoors and be together. This year was a good one, again. 

Lots of treats, blankets and cousin time.

Even Daisy joined the fun, all snuggled up.

Monday morning our little family took a hike on the Orson Smith trail to the new suspension bridge. It was a good trek for us.

Our Fun, Unique, Wonderful Watson

Watson is 6!! Where did the time go! Our sweet little boy is growing up so fast! He often asks me if he sounds and looks like a teenager. Reluctantly, I often tell him yes. We celebrated with friends at Airborne, an indoor trampoline park. Thor, Kade, Cache, Brody, Graham, Cohen, and Zoya joined the fun. The kids had a great time burning energy and playing together. We ate pizza, chocolate cupcakes and Oreo ice cream. We love our Watson. He is creative, determined, sweet, kind, friendly, talkative, inventive and enthusiastic. We are so lucky to be his family and although I wish he'd stay little longer, I'm excited for all of the wonderful and crazy things ahead for him. 

Watson's friend party was a few days before his actual birthday. We celebrated together before sending him to school and then had a family party in the evening. He requested Poppy Seed Cake and Oreo ice cream for his other party. Everyone loves Watson. He is contagious!

A little surprise for birthday morning.

Newborn Photos

I took Daisy for her newborn pictures on August 5th. She did great for her first photo session.

 

A Few More...

My friend Alex invited me to her house to play with a little photography studio she set up in her basement. Daisy is almost a month old in these pictures. You can never have too many, right? She's only this little for a short time...

First Day of Kindergarten

 My beautiful boy started Kindergarten. He was beyond ready in so many ways. I love that he is excited to learn and loves to make new friends. He really wants to do what is good and right. He loves to talk and can hold a great conversation with anyone at anytime. That is a gift I wish I had. He is the sweetest big brother and we love him so! His teacher is Ms. Crane and he rides the bus to and from school for afternoon kindergarten. I love his style in every way.
