Max's First Day of Preschool

Sept 9 --
I forgot to take pictures of Max before school, like with Zac. So I snapped a couple with my phone on the way to school.

I love this one with him squinting because the sun was in his eyes. His school is only a couple blocks away, when the weather was nice it was so enjoyable to walk to and from school with him. It was a good time to talk too.

Fun backpack

So when we got home I took pictures like Zac, and I just loved all of these. They show his personality so well.

Labor Day Weekend in Idaho

Sept 3-5 --
We were excited to finally make a trip to Idaho over Labor Day weekend. We've been wanting to go and visit Jon's grandparents for a long time.  We got to spend the night and see the amazing garden and animals.

Checking out Grandpa's pigeons

The chickens

The cows

Feeding the cows corn

Checking out the plastic wild life :)

Swinging

The we got to meet up with Jason and kari for the rest of the weekend. We went to the Eastern Idaho State Fair.

Classic carnival

Got hit all the rides! Being pregnancy sick and the twirling on the carousel was a bit much for me.

It was a relaxing and fun weekend. Thanks Donna and Kari for taking care of us. Good food too! :)

I added more purple to my hair and I like it better. And I actually like this picture of myself. :)

Zac's 6th Birthday

Aug 24 --
Jon is really big on celebrating on the day of the birthday, so later in the week on Zac's actual birthday we did a little party at home.

I thought to make it a little funner, we'd have a cool cake. I was NOT up for making anything.  So I order this from Baskin Robbins, he loved it! :)

Zac's First Day of Kindergarten

Aug 22 --
He was so excited and he sure loves school. He goes to full day Kindergarten at a local charter school. Its been hard for me to adjust to getting him up and at em' in the morning, but now that I'm over the first trimester, its been much more manageable.

Camping at Mirror Lake for Zac's Birthday

Aug 19-20 --
Zac LOVES to go camping. I'm trying to get him away from the expectation of having a friend or big party for his birthday. So we decided to go camping. Also, Zac has been talking about going fishing for more than a year now. Jon doesn't fish, but my dad does. So we planned to head up to Mirror Lake to camp and fish for Zac's birthday. We were really really sad to miss and Rachel and Jeremy. And Lexie drove up early the next morning b/c she had to work. But it was fun nonetheless and I actually did pretty well with eating and sleeping. I didn't get sick. We also ate fantastically this trip.

Getting dinner ready.

My mom, making BBQ pizza dough-so good! (Jon made amazing breakfast burritos the next morning).

I decided this would be the best way to do a birthday cake for Zac while camping. No cutting and easier to share.

Opening presents from Nani and Papi

The start of a pez collection....if only he didn't realize there was candy and raided them a couple months ago.

I don't have any pictures of the next day, but all the boys when out on the little dinghy to fish. Unfortunately, they left the worms at the campsite and didn't catch a single thing. They did have power bait, but nothing was biting for them. Itt was fun for them and a memory made. The boys like their fishing poles too-transformers and spiderman. My mom and I walked around the lake board walk once and then sat in the shade at the campsite and relaxed.
