September iPhone Pics

WHOA! What a busy September! I'll try to get through it all!

Apple day at BRE - Kids made all sorts of awesome apple treats!

Chase was ELECTED into the student council at school> I couldn't be more proud! Audrey was selected by her teacher for Character Club. These two amaze me DAILY!

Girls night out at the Royals!

 Picture from July of the cousins - not sure if I posted it!

Yet again, Auds chose to recycle her recital costume - she's fabulous at it! This year she turned herself into Rainbow Dash :)

Sunflower Fields!

On our Way To DISNEYLAND!

But first...a pit stop in Vegas!

Oh how we miss the Garcias <3 p="">

And our family!

Ah roomed us at the Grand California this time. It was a gorgeous hotel!!!

Once in a lifetime, again!!!!

Thank you Ah for another AMAZING trip to our favorite place!

Audrey and I had a special experience together this year. For her "souvenir" she really wanted a build a bear. It was worth the crazy price tag as she loved "stuffing" and putting a heart into her new little friend. We had a special time together and I'm so glad we did it.

Next up, Auntie Lo came to visit. What a great trip, we didn't paint an entire kitchen full of cabinets this time! 

BUT WE DID EAT!!!

I had the opportunity to work for habitat for humanity. It was such an amazing experience and I hope to do it again very soon!

This little guy lost his very first tooth via the doctor - his new teeth were growing big behind! Somehow the tooth fairy thought $25 for two teeth was reasonable - but in my opinion it was WAY TOO MUCH!

We had a blast at the Scmidt's first Kansas Oktoberfest!

Dance Buddies!

August iPhone Pics!

 Netherfeld Farm

 Bodies Exhibit - kids each got to pick a special day filled with activities - and this was Chase's choice!!! Super cool exhibit, although I was happy to be on the outside of the case :)

 The old train depot - Amtrak still runs here

 First day of school!

 Pooped after a long first day :)

Mike and I got to stay downtown for our Anniversary while mom was here - great to experience a new part of KC - so many amazing historic buildings. We stayed at the Hotel President, one of the oldest hotels in town and on the historic register. Rooms were small but the hotel was gorgeous.

 Playing tourist at the Nelson Atkins Museum

 Audrey's first sleepover, with Penelope. The girls were great - and even went to bed!

 Halloween costume prep!

Back To School!

And just like that.....the kids are back in school. Something we are used to but this time Audrey heads to kindergarten at Blue River Elementary with Chase. She was so brave and didn't cry at all. In fact I took Chase in to his class first and she was so annoyed that it was taking so long she finally said "bye mom, I'm going to my class!" I lvoe that she has no fear and has such great enthusiasm for doing big girl things. She has Mrs. Culbertson this year, who was also Chase's teachers. This makes me so happy as I know she is in the BEST hands and will learn so much in her first year of big kid school. Chase's teacher is Mrs. Lahey. I know she is a really strong teacher but I don't know her well. At the end of the day Chase told me he thinks he is going to have a great year and will like her a lot! Mom came in for the first day of school which was special as she was at Chase's first day as well. Both of us kept the tears away and stayed strong as the kids marched into another year :).
