 |
| labor day camping trip |
 |
it was fun hanging with the families of jacks and livi's
friends from elementary school |
 |
| the start of a beautiful stroll to a secluded beach |
 |
| it was quite chilly but the kids obviously didn't mind |
 |
| the perfect wading pool |
 |
| the pelle gang |
 |
| my personal favorite part of camping |
 |
camping always feels exhausting but we love
how happy it makes these three |
 |
| zip line time |
 |
| up, up, and away |
 |
| even little lyla need a ride |
 |
| and of course, i couldn't pass up a turn! |
 |
| the next weekend, lyla and i headed to LA to visit diana |
 |
| waiting for our ride |
 |
she passed out about 20 seconds
into our car ride from the airport |
 |
thankfully she woke up in a good mood because
she got to play with a new friend |
 |
| off to pizza and ice cream |
 |
| yummy!!!! |
 |
| relaxing like a pro |
 |
| getting in one last cuddle before heading home |
 |
| passing time at the airport with strawberry pocky |
 |
| our ladies weekend wiped this one out! |
 |
while lyla and i were gone, these four had
some quality time with their dad |
 |
| they also ate very healthy meals |
 |
| and went on really boring outings |
 |
| the kids get easily distracted on our bike ride |
 |
| pre-preschool snack |
 |
| banana bread with poppy |
 |
| scooter girl |
 |
| a little wrestling match to start the day |
 |
| this match-up required an impartial referee |
 |
| two on the iPad, one on the calculator =) |
 |
| john and his favorite sidekick |
 |
| herbie matching his dad's socks |
 |
| what are you looking at?? i swear we're not friends! |
 |
| the family nappers |
 |
| tug-of-war |
 |
| they're favorite positions on the grass |
 |
| backyard picnic |
 |
| catch and release like her daddy taught her |
 |
| a dog and his ball |
 |
| riggy loves lyla when she's asleep or has food |
 |
| sisters |
 |
| snow white and elsa on a dinner date |
 |
| time for school! |
 |
| herbie + livi |
 |
| stanford vs. cal rivalry?? |
 |
| well, hello there bat woman |
 |
| no naps for lyla means falling asleep at dinner |
 |
| i'm not sharing |
 |
| isn't he perfect?! |
 |
| time for the stanford game! |
 |
| her favorite seat in the whole wide world |
 |
| my first and only game of the season |
 |
| goooo stanford! |
 |
liv and oona were not as focused on the game
as their friend jacks |
 |
| i'm getting used to her missing-tooth smile |
 |
i'm pretty sure this was when the other team scored...
john was not amused |
 |
| hanging while i get my haircut |
 |
| dropping john off at work...see you later, dad! |
 |
| getting slobber on our clean laundry...thanks, herbs |
 |
| naptime...poor herbie got displaced |
 |
| off to school with her new backpack! |
 |
| post-flu shot ice cream |
 |
| so thankful sheila took them to get the shots =) |
 |
