long overdue and way out of order...

The perfect 4th of July pose...becoming a tradition!

Teagan's personal highlight was stopping over to visit with cousin Kali, one night was not nearly long enough!

Our summer trip was a whirlwind again, but so worth the drive and the kids loved every minute of it. We even got to bring Brin and Valerie home with us and Amy came to Utah a week or so later to join in. The highlights were the beach (even though it was mostly foggy), Mike and Valerie's pool, a carnival bday party for Aunt Amy and a night away for Tyler and myself. Tyler slept like a baby, I was up all night! The kids didn't even miss us with Lubba in charge. Massive amounts of pictures and two months late, but still amazing memories...we saw so many great friends and family and 2 weeks seemed to last 2 days.

Kindergarten

Teagan started off with a bang and has yet to complain. The first Saturday she was even disappointed that there was not school. She loves her teacher, Mrs. Fredrickson and has made some new friends. The first day I got to walk her in and get sappy and snap a hundred pictures. The second day she lined up at the penguin wall and waited for her teacher with her class. I don't know if I am ready to send her into the yard on her own, but I think she knows what to do.
