Here is my recap of July, August and September
July
I realized I had never told the whole store of my open heart surgery- and told you about Shone's Syndrome
We celebrated the 4th- Alex loved it-- Ryder not as much.
Got to meet two more bloggers in real life during my annual trip to Utah.
Amy of Involuntary Smiles, Me and Xazmin |
Spent an awesome week in Utah with our annual family reunion-- which I recapped here, here and here (which has the bounce house blowing over incident!)-- this movie trailer sums it up pretty good
Lucas dove off the diving board and he had just learned to really swim this summer!
August
Showed you pictures from the maternity photo shoot I took
School started! Cute 5-year video I made for Alex at that link.
I lamented about Alex changing her name.
Enjoyed a night at an Angels baseball game-with unlimited food!
Tried to get into the routine of the new school year, and library story time, and a tumbling class and soccer-- yea who says moms get a break when school starts!
I did enjoy a weekend getaway with my family and Lourie (CA Girl's) family though!
And I showed you my hidden talent!!
September
Lamented about how getting dressed can be hard
Soccer and school consumed our lives
Made a cute grateful sign at a girl's craft night
Told you about the time I fed Lucas garbage
Decorated for fall
And perfect way to end with a cute baby (my cousin's baby) that I got to shoot.
Can't wait to see your recaps!

You got some much fun in before school started! I think we started around the same time....If I remember right.
ReplyDeleteso much fun and that video was too cute
ReplyDeleteI missed the post about your heart-and wow, that is an incredible story. I love that your mom didn't baby you later on, and that you don't have to worry about it now. Whew, pretty incredible stuff.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh you and your hubby dancing is the CUTEST thing ever! It must be hard to dance with a partner so much taller than you. My hubby is a foot taller and he has trouble dancing with me-and it looks like you guys have an even bigger height difference!
I forgot about her wanting to change her name. Does this still stand? I couldn't figure out where my Indio pictures were. Then I realized I had only used my phone on the August trip.
ReplyDeleteI love the maternity pics of Rachel.
The maternity photos make me wish I was pregnant again (or could go back and do maternity photos.) And the CUTE BABY. Oh my word.
ReplyDeleteSo my baby's 1st name is your middle name, spelled the same way...but we call her by her middle name and after reading Alex's story, I realize she may change that someday! Oh my!
ReplyDeleteAh! Your cousin's baby!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh that is so scary about the open heart surgery!
ReplyDeleteYou take such gorgeous pictures! I wish you lived closer :(
Sounds like you got a lot of awesome family time in!
I remember the swing dancing video! That one is kind of hard to forget! ;o) Happy Christmas to you and your family!!
ReplyDeletelove the "grateful" sign... you're so crafty!
ReplyDeleteNo idea how I didn't comment on your bloggy post... I'm a slacker I guess :). This was a great summer and really year for your kids. So awesome that Lucas learned how to swim and go off the diving board! He'll be a regular fish next summer! Super awesome!
