First Day of School

 Jack is in Mrs. Tolan's second grade and Julianne is in Mrs. Carmen's Kindergarten.  I feel so grateful that my kids love going to school!  Our school received an A (excelling) rating from the state and the A+ for excellence award from last year, and there are so many new things happening this year that our entire teaching staff is really excited about.  I am really thankful for such a great school to work at, and to have my own kids learn at.

Last Day of Swim

 After swim team was over I had the kids do one last session of swim lessons.  Jack took a strokes class and Julianne did some colored class I forget.  Anyhow, this was slide and popsicle day.  We sure logged a ton of hours at the pool this summer!

 

Mom Back to Work

 I just found these cute pictures on my camera!  I remember Howie telling me he had taken the kids to the cave park after I had to be back at school, but I didn't know these sweet faces were waiting for me on the camera!

 

Jack and Julianne at the Dentist

This picture sums how cool our kid's dentist is!  They even have a frozen Italian ice machine in the summer and fancy coffee machine in the winter for adults.  I love Dr. Libby's office!

Diamondbacks Game

 We took the kids to the ballpark with their tickets from the libarary challenge, and ended up having a really good time.  Jack was TOTALLY into watching the game which surprised us.  Julianne told us "This seat is really boring" after only being in it for 10 minutes.  So we took her up the playground/kid zone and she had a BLAST! 

 

My Mom and the Natural Museum of History

 My mom came into town during the month of July, and since the airport she came into was in Mesa we decided to go to the Museum of Natural History.  My kids thought it was great, and they have asked a few times to go back.  I wish it were not so far.
