Summer...

My updating skills have been very behind, I apologize :)  This summer has been so much fun and it's been great being back in California!  Our road trip out was fun and we stopped at Mount Rushmore on the way.  Kevin finished taking the bar at the end of July (who hoo!)  and doesn't start work until the end of September, so we have been enjoying having him around.  We did some fun trips this summer.  Lots of beach days, and got to head out to Palm Springs with my parents and had a relaxing long weekend at the pool and hiking around Mount San Jacinto.  We headed up to San Luis Obispo with some great college friends and then went up to visit family in Loomis and Butte Meadows.  Jonathan celebrated his first birthday on August 15th.  He's getting so big!  He's crawling around everywhere and getting into trouble:)  Not walking yet, but we're okay with that, he likes taking his time with everything :)  My cousins Brooke, Dawn and Robin all came to visit this past weekend which was so much fun.  We have not all been together since Dawn got married, so it was a special weekend for us.  The kids had so much fun playing!

Both Elijah and Jacob started school this week.  Elijah started kindergarten and Jacob started preschool.  Mommy had some happy/sad feelings, but they did great and are enjoying their schools. 

 

We are excited for what this fall will bring and are so grateful for this past summer!
