We went to Mom and Dad's house to celebrate Mom's 71st birthday. She is so organized. For her birthday at the end of September, she was already thinking about Christmas cards. As you can see by my posting a September event in December that I am NOT organized. These are a couple pictures from that day.
I love the funny picture. If you look closely, Kenna looks like she is licking my Dad's head.
For Jacie's birthday she had a sleepover. Yes, we are still in September, for those of you who are keeping track :) I was wayyyy behind. Anyway, it was a fun evening with hardly any sleep. We made our own pizza and rubber band bracelets. Then, we went to the Olson's to watch a movie. The kids got to swim and watch a movie on the wall. We came back for another movie outside on our garage wall and sleeping, or not sleeping as the case may be, on the trampoline all night.
I don't know who started the "Christmas in July" concept (probably the retail business), but that is what I feel like today. It's barely in the 30's and I am posting pictures from July.
In July our family was divided, at least by gender. Blake took Carter camping for an evening. We dropped them off and left them to the elements. The girls and I headed to Morro Bay to the luxury of a hotel. We didn't need the car either. We hoofed it the remainder of our trip. We walked downtown and by the water. We went to a little aquarium where we could feed sea lions. We also took a bay cruise which was kind of neat to see because our tour guide brought us around the harbor and filled us in on the history of the area. Then he took us to the peninsula where we could frolic around for a bit. After the cruise we went back to our hotel and got ready for our dinner out.
It was a nice time together. We started a journal of what I hope will be filled out annually, of each of our perspective of the trip. Later the next day, we picked Blake and Carter up to spend one more night at the hotel.
Carter had root beer and orange floats for the his Kindergarten class. We also played Lego Bingo. The kids seemed to enjoy looking for all the characters on their cards.
