{KC fair 2012}

Saturday we did our annual trek to the KC fair. We all came home with a nose full of allergens & dirt, but a good time was had by all!

{soccer}

Friday marked the start of Addison's first season of AYSO! We are lucky to live in an area where they offer a U5 division. She seems to be liking it a bit more than she did playing softball, but we still have 7 more weeks to go! Here's some pictures of her first day. They do 30 minutes of practice, and then 30 minutes of "games".

{pre-k}

Last Tuesday, was the first day of Pre-K for our baby girl. She was so excited to go back to school and see her friends.

 It's sad to think that this is our last year of preschool.  She'll be off to the "big school" way too soon!

Here's to a wonderful and exciting school year!



   

{last getaway}

Last weekend we embraced that our summer was coming to an end. School was starting back up, getting back into a structured routine. We headed back to Palm Springs for an extra long weekend of fun and relaxation. Lots of lounging at the pool, shopping, eating yummy food and taking in the children's museum.

{a turn-around trip to san diego}

This past Saturday found us heading down to San Diego for a one night stay and a quick trip to the zoo. Family was out visiting from Oregon and we thought we'd head down to say hello! It was hot...by San Diego standards. It was a sweltering 90* at the zoo on Sunday! We stayed until about 2:30pm and got on the road headed home. I didn't take many pictures, but here are a few. PS - Addison is OBSESSED with peacocks all of sudden. Not sure where she picked that up, but nonetheless, she is!

{the old barn}

A few weeks ago, I had a friend take some photos of my favorite girl. She's grown so much! It's hard to believe that she'll be starting Pre-K in less than a week's time!

{addie turns 4}

This is a little out of order, sorry! Addie turned 4 back in March. It just so happened that the almond orchards were in bloom, so I packed up my camera and off we went. This is what resulted:
