CC's 6th birthday party

Happy Birthday CC Girl! We had CC's birthday party at our community pool, and were so lucky that so many people came out to celebrate with us!

The party was a huge success! "The best one so far," in the words of CC. It was nice and hot, about 106 degrees, but it was perfect. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate our princess' birthday!!

Back to School

Well it's back to school, so it's the perfect time to get back to blogging.

Camden started her first day of first grade. She was so excited! We were in California for the teacher meet and greet, so she was really excited to see what her room looked like. She walked in and found her desk right away, hung up her backpack, and was ready to start the day. No tears, and no anxiety! She's never been much of a crier, when it comes to school, but she does get nervous. But not today! She said her goodbyes and was ready. So proud of her.

Standing so proudly in front of her desk.

California Trip

Before the kids started school we wanted to make a quick trip to California. We had so much fun, and so many pictures! Too many to upload. So I'm uploading the only family picture we took on the trip.
