We've had a jam packed end of July-August! We had the cousins to our house as soon as we were back from Utah. So we introduced them to the Kidspace Discovery Museum! Here is Lindsey & Ally climbing up the "ant hole".
Spider web climbing 
Jake LOVES this place!
All the gang climbing the "roots" . This place is in Pasadena. It is a hit. My kids love love love it
This beach made our top of the list for S. California beaches. To be able to park right up to beach, swing & slide & climb & then walk a little further to the water. Perfect! Santa Monica, off of Wilshire & California St. I believe. A must!
Having a blast jumping the waves!
Silly poses
Allison's favorite thing in the world! Swinging! Besides tuna of course.
Such a fun beach! We'll be back soon!
Our last get away before school started was to the Santa Barbara Zoo with our good friends, Pam, Eden & Reece. It was beautfiul there & so fun.
As you can see, Lindsey & Eden are such good buddies. They had a ball walking in hand around the zoo together.
To say Allie loved the zoo would be such an understatement! She LOVED naming off all the animals she saw for days after!
Giraffe zone
First day of school, August 13th. The shortest summer ever! Loren is in 4th, Lindsey, 2nd & Jake in kindergarten. Growing up so fast!
Big kindergartner! Jake was counting down the days/months to school starting since April.! He has been SO ready to go to school. Only probem: he has to wait until 11am to go everyday. Dying! He started playing the piano like his big sisters & that has really helped him to have something else to do while he's waiting. Some Mom's are just sad when their little ones go to kindergarten but I'm the opposite. I'm so excited for them! Mine have all been so ready & so excited to go to school.
A few days after school started we took a day off to drive up to San Francisco for a wedding! BJ's sister Paige & Andrew were married Augst 16th.
Loren, Lindsey & cousin Ally were flower girls & very proud.
It was freezing!

It was a party weekend! The wedding was beautiful & the kids danced till they dropped. The band LOVED Allison's moves! We're all in the routine of school, drop offs & pickups, homework, activities, errands....a very familiar list to many of you! Hope you are all wonderful. We love you all!
