First day of school!

9/2 Riley's first day of school! She goes to a preschool class for 2 1/2 year-olds 2 days a week for 2 hours. No tears from Riley - she ran right in and felt right at home!

Cheese!

9/9 Nate's first day or PreK - he's at the same school he was at last year and is so excited school is back in session!

Little Brother Ben!

Fun day in GH!

Clint pulling the kids in the car - they love this!

Grace is Snow White...I'm not quite sure which princess Riley is but they both sure are cute!

Ben meets his new buddy Cameron- 2 1/2 weeks old!

Kara and I met on the first day of Kindergarten which happened to be my 6th birthday. My how the time flies! You know you have a friend for life when she shares your love of rainbow chip cake and bakes one for you when she has a newborn at home. Thanks Kara!

Professional Pictures

Our friend Rebecca did a family photo shoot of us when Ben was about one month old. I love the moments she captured of our busy little family! Here is the website and password:

Summer Nights

Mesh typically has to work late so dinner and bath time can be a little crazy around here. And when Mesh works nights there is a strong chance you will find me eating a large bowl of cookie dough ice cream or two on the couch as a reward for completing the daunting task of getting all 3 kids to bed! Then of course I sneak upstairs several times to watch them sleeping peacefully -Mesh and I are so blessed!

When Riley and Nate give each other this look I know they are about to be up to something.

In this case, splashing Mommy and Ben.

Ben takes a bath first and then chills next to me while Nate and Ri are in the tub.

All clean and in their pajamas...note Riley almost always puts a dress on over her pj's...girly girl!

A sweet little smile from Baby Ben!
