First Day of School

The forced picture that mom takes every year....
Jeremy's first day of 4th grade (I can't believe it!!)
Tyler on his first day of 1st grade.
Both had new teacher's this year. Jeremy continued in IA and went to Mrs. Laybourn and has 15 4th and 5th graders. Tyler joined IA and started with Mrs Titus and has 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders in his class.

Elaysha had a good time

Elaysha just played with toys and checked to make sure I was still there every once in a while.

Ellie on the Ferry

Ellie was a little freaked out by the ferry. So, a bottle and she fell asleep.

Seattle to Bremerton Ferry

On Saturday, the 18th of August, we decided on a whim to camp at Sol Duc Hot Springs on the Olympic Penninsula. Jen had a meeting in the morning, so I took Ellie and Elaysha and went to my meeting and then took the ferry from Seattle to Bremerton to meet up with the boys. Boy was that a challenge getting that stroller around on the ferry!!

Jen and Amanda partying it up....sort of

Jen and Amanda at the Texas Roadhouse Bar in Billings MT. We met up and spent the day at Rituals spa having pedicures, massage, facials, and sitting in the steam room. We, also, went to JCPenney's and had our hair done.
We spent two nights at the Ramada and went shopping and just spent time without kids and husbands.

Ellie and Elaysha

Aren't they adorable in their matching outfits? And holding hands.
