August Memories!

Kyrie's little buddy, Arrianna, celebrates her 2nd birthday at Blue Lake Park!

Always climbing!

This crazy boy! It's way scarier when he does this off  the side of the play set with no slide underneath!

The beautiful Rapisarda family celebrating Arrianna!

Splash ground fun!

Not sure if we'll be using picture this in a certain slide show in about 25 years. :) You never know!!

Morning out with Papa & Yaya to the fish hatchery, hiking, and playtime at Mc D's!

Kyrie loves riding Mia's old scooter!

Scooter races!

3 day potty training!

 

It worked!! We have a potty trained toddler now.....at least during the daytime. We are still working on nap time and nighttime, but I'll take it! Kyrie loves his Spiderman underwear!

Classic!!

Pool fun with Papa & Yaya!

This kid has no fear of the water! Love it! ;)

It just looks like Mia is holding on for dear life....she really isn't! Ha! ;)

Kyrie's outfit choice for the day! Power Ranger outfit, high heels, and reindeer antlers! I love his imagination!

Celebrating Asha's birthday at Oaks Park! Mia has always been very timid on rides, but I guess she was riding them all.....even the roller coaster....and I saw a video, so there is proof! :)

Asha, Mia, & Hasani

Park time with Sittee!

Bike riding was a common occurrence with the neighbors this summer! Love this!

Brothers supporting their sisters in soccer! It will be their turn next summer!

Little soccer stars and buddies, Asha & Mia!

Movie night with friends.....Love the boys sitting alike!

We walked to the infamous Camas deer farm and fed the deer!

Dinner night with the Rapisardas! Dress-up time!

Rapunzel

Mia has been waiting all summer to ride in the Rapisarda Escalade!

Good times!

Ok, probably shouldn't post this, but this was a classic second child moment....went to pull out his underwear one morning and there weren't any clean. So why not just put on Sissy's panties! Of course I had to take a picture! I just thought it was hilarious.....a certain someone else may not have thought it was so funny!:)

The first time of many years to come, checking the mail for the special "teacher assignment" letter from Dorothy Fox Elementary!

It finally came!! Yah!

Mia is excited to have Mrs. Sawyer in AM Kindergarten at Fox this year!

Walking to Open House with her buddy, Aynsley!

 

Donating all the many school supplies!

Of course Brother had to help!

The Dorothy Fox "fox"!

Kindergarten count down....getting closer......

Beauty shop time! Kyrie wanted Sissy to paint his nails, so I said why not!

End of summer "preschool friend" play date at our house!

Tent/bowling fun with the boys!

One of Mia's final wishes of summer was to have a lemonade stand. Well, we finally made it happen on the last couple days of summer. 

Our first customers, the Rapisardas! Not gonna lie...did a little soliciting for customers, just to make sure people showed up! 

Kyrie wanted to hold the sign and solicit customers so badly, but he wouldn't listen when we told him repeatedly it was backwards! 

Sometimes you just have to let a 2 year old think they know what they're doing!

The kids were thrilled to each make $2 in less than an hour!

Take your family to work day! We decided to trek on over to George Fox last week with Maco. I really enjoyed meeting all the people in the athletic department. Sounds like staff come and don't leave.....oh and they live about a mile from the school....who knows if we'll fall into those same categories as well someday.

We are grooming these kiddos early since they have a free ticket to Fox since Daddy works here! They also have a few hundred other schools they can go to as well and have their tuition paid for! A huge perk! :)

Never thought I would write this sentence.....

Daddy's 1st day teaching a college class! Ok, so it's just tennis 101 and Coaching Basketball, but still....who would have thought it! Definitely not I...... I am continually amazed by God's plan and Maco's determination and passion! So proud of him!
