Big day for Mac! He lost his first tooth!!! Maybe next time he looses a tooth he won't feel compelled to come announce it to Fred and I at 5:30am!!! :-) He was just a little excited!!!
He will get his first visit from the Tooth Fair tonight (if she remembers!!!!)!
What I love about fall...
What I DON'T love about fall...
(We put out 18 bags full of leaves last Thursday, and there are more to come this week!!!)
Seriously...I have not posted for so long, I wasn't even sure I could find my blog site! Sorry to any loyal readers out there (if I have any left) that I have been so neglectful of my poor blog. Facebook has ruined me! It is so easy to write little one line notes there and post photos, I have been completely ignoring my blog. My blog is really for me to journal and share our lives with friends and family, so I am TRULY going to try and get back to maintaining it on a regular basis. (But PLEASE don't don't hold it against me if I slack again...)
So..what has been going on. Gwyneth is in 2nd grade and doing well, Mac is loving kindergarten, Fred is hard at work, and I am doing the same old, same old-kids' school stuff, gym, photography.
Today was a beautiful fall day so we hiked up to Tablerock with the kids. It was only my second time to hike up there and the kids, Fred's and the dog's first time.
This is where we hiked to. This cross sits atop this hill looking down over SE Boise.
A fun afternoon!!!
More to come soon...I promise!
A fun evening was had by all on Friday night! Not such a fun Saturday for some, but I will not name names, all I will say is that I got to see some awesome Saturday morning soccer game solo. :-)
Rick and Cece invited us, along with 50+ other friends to Dirty Little Roddy's, a local cowboy bar/man cave in downtown Boise. It was a celebration party for Rick's real estate company and he won the bid for 4 hours of open bar for 50 guest at the Riverstone auction.
Here's some fun pics from the night!
Mac is NEVER without a piece of paper and some sort of writing instrument (is that the right word, or is it implement? Fred and I could not agree, so I went with his word.)
Here is another drawing that he whipped up on the way to take Gwyneth to swim team practice tonight. It is of a tiger shark.
Here is one of Mac's latest creations!
It's that time of year again! Back to school! Ya hoooooooooooo!!! Oh, I'm sorry. I got a little too excited about that! :-) It has been a good summer, but it got a little long there at the end and I think the kids and I were already to get back to school and a routine.
It was a big year around here. Mac started kindergarten!
He was so excited. He even woke up before his alarm asking me, "Is it the first day of school?!" Too cute! He was jazzed about his new (enormous!) camo backpack and shark lunch box. He is attending the same school as his big sister, Gwyneth, which makes it all THAT much more fun!
Gwyneth is such a big girl. She started 2nd grade.
I can't believe my little girl is already in 2nd grade! She loves her teacher and loves school, so she is happy camper.
We are starting day 3 tomorrow, and so far so good. Mac was certainly more tired today when I picked him up at the end of the day than he was on Monday, and I am sure by Friday he will be spent! Gwyneth is holding up better, but she has had two years practice at this already.
Here are more fun photos from the first day of school.
Today Fred and I have been married for 12 years. I can hardly believe it!!! Where has the time gone?!
To commemorate our anniversary Mac drew this picture of me and Fred at our wedding.
(I am not sure why Mac drew Fred to look like Hitler, but...we'll just over look that.)
I love how he drew the tuxedo!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY FRED!
Nothing says summer in Boise like floating the Boise River! Of course, we have had a fairly cool summer, so our opportunities to float have not been as frequent. With school starting in a little over a week, we figured we'd better hit the river this weekend, if we were going to get out there before summer ws over. Saturday was a warm day (high around 95), so we inflated the SS Webster and set "sail" around 2pm.
It was a beautiful day out on the river!
I sat on the front and Fred steered from the back.
The kids had a great time (as did we)!
We saw these adorable golden retrievers all going after the same stick in the water, as we floated by.
Here is our beautiful new Parkcenter Bridge that is very near completion. It is scheduled to open before school starts on Monday, Aug. 31st. it will make out commute to school much better!
All in all a very fun afternoon!
