A Promise

So my sweetest SIL Michelle and her wonderful family moved to CA a few weeks ago. I was (am) devastated! I told her the only way I was going to accept it was if she promised to update her blog at least every two weeks and include pix of all the kids. Well obviously I have to keep that promise also. Hence all the pictures I've added lately. I know Michelle will enjoy, I hope the rest of you do too.

Aliah had her first day of Pre-K.

Here is a cute little apple we made for her teacher. (I got the idea HERE.)

The girls had a lot of fun hanging out with Daddy over Labor Day weekend.

And Mom had fun forcing the kids into a photo shoot in the flowers. There aren't too many good days left so I had to take advantage!

Kimball wasn't super cooperative,

But the girls were great!

For those of you who don't usually watch the videos on blogs (Tallie) just watch this. If Inara isn't entertaining enough, check out the guy in the background. Yes I realize I wasn't being super reverent, but I had to catch this and happened to have my camera in my purse.

Another Goodbye

I have another sad farewell to tell you about. If you've seen me any time in the last 5 years I'm sure I was wearing these shoes.

I'm so sad to say goodbye. I remember exactly when I bought them at Target at about 10P.M. with Emily. I was pregnant with Aliah. I remember thinking 'These will be perfect this summer when my feet are all swollen.' Little did I know I would wear them everyday the weather permitted for the next 5 years. Goodbye shoes. You were worth more then the $7 I paid for you!

Because I don't think I should post just about my shoes, here are a bunch more pictures of our summer.

Inara's 2nd Birthday

I gave away a bunch of Aliah's toys so we took pictures so she could remember them.

Inara was scared to death. I forced her cause I'm such an awesome mom.

Kimball is obviously thrilled to model the shirt I (okay, mostly Charlene) made.
