First Day of Preschool

Avery had been looking so forward to starting school this year. She even had her first 3 outfits picked out before the first day of school even started. Oh how she loved it!! She walked right in and found her cubby and her mat at circle time. She had a huge smile on her face and gave me a hug and kiss and we were kicked out the door. When I picked her up she said, "and I didn't even cry!" She has been having the best time at school. She is in a class of 7 which is just fabulous. She has two teachers, Teacher Julie and Teacher Nancy. They are wonderful and we have just been so grateful for the time she has with them every Mon, Wed, and Fri!

Riley did not feel the same way about school. She had a complete meltdown when we left Avery at school.

Fire Fightin'

We had a little play time with my dear friend, Molly and her son Timmy. The kiddos were super cute together and spent some time putting out fires.

Giants Game

On Sunday, we were invited to our friend Rich's surprise 30th birthday. It just happened to be a Giants Game with amazing seats...2nd row right next to the visitor dugout. It was such a fun day and so much fun to see the look on Rich's face when he realized we were all there! It was a blast and we are so thankful for our amazing friends!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

My Grandma Hansen celebrated her 75th birthday on July 31st. The family gathered together the next day to celebrate her!! The day was filled with family chatter, Andy's BBQ, and a jumphouse for the kids. My girls loved it! It took Riley a bit to warm up to it but then we could not drag her out of it. It was perfect weather and a perfect day to love on my wonderful Grandma. The only bummer...no pic of her. :(

So far behind...

A few weeks back we ventured up to camp with our dear friends, the Hirotas. We met up at an RV park not to far from the Yosemite gate. It was VERY hot so the first day we set out to find a cool spot by the river. Despite the horrible and long hike to and back from the spot, which I still have not forgiven Matt for, we had a wonderful time enjoying the cool water hole and the gorgeous waterfall.
Day two was filled with swimming and a drive out to Yosemite Valley. Jaron had never been before!! It was really crowded, but we managed to get a view of Half Dome and a short hike to Yosemite Falls.

We are definitely looking forward to our next trip with our lovely friends!
