August

What a super fun and busy month!!

 Emmie's Style - done 100% on her own.

 Emmie in her favorite strawberry dress - she just loves it!

 Maddie's first day of school!  Her own personal style too :)

 Emmie tried to make her way into every picture I took.

 Maddie, Sophia and Arianna lining up for Mrs. Ferraro on day 1.

 Maddie has wanted to be a librarian since she's been 2 years old!

 Dane and Allie's first day of kindergarten!  They both go in the afternoon, so we were able to get them together in the morning for pics!

 Dane and his 2 favorite buddies, kangy and leopard spots.

 Maddie transformed the old changing table spot into a desk.  Maddie is a great sister to Emmie and she shared her space with her.

 Cali!  In the bed of our rental truck.  We loved it!

 My hikers!

 Mermaid fins in the sand.  The kids loved this and it kept them in place for a long while! :)

 Buddies!

 The kids (especially Maddie) fell in love with these little puppies!  They were so adorable.

 Our visit with Mimi - she is one amazing lady!

 Now Uncle Billy's turn for kid love! XOXO

 Maddie loves her Aunt Tami

 Sweet!

 We had a great day at Sea World and did dinner with Shamoo.  It was super cool to eat with the killer whales right beside us!

 We had a potty star party for Emerson and it wasn't chaotic at all! Ha! :)

 Our last day before school started for Maddie and Claire was spent at the Shed.  It was a great time!  The sting rays were a hit with our kids.

 Dane's first day at line up time.  He did pretty good.  Just a few tears when he walked in.

  Maddie with her fellow brownies at girl scout camp!

 It was a little chilly and rainy, but we still had a good time.

 Great Grandma's birthday at her favorite restaurant, Olive Garden.

 Dane's very first BEE AWESOME sticker!  The kids get them when they are caught doing something really good.  In Dane's case he was cleaning up a mess that he didn't make without being asked.

Our Friday Ice Cream truck semi-tradition! :)
