Beatin' this heat wave tonight...

Hot Hot Hot!  This heat is making my water bill go up;)  We just got new landscaping done so we've been watering like crazy and this heat doesn't help matters.  I hope all of our new plants make it.

One good thing is that we've gotten out of school early this week.  It's amazing how much work I can get done at school with that extra hour.

We've started our new schedules around here and everyone seems to be adjusting pretty well.  Nate's hasn't really changed.  Sailor is back with "grammy Annie" and papa Davey and Grey and I are out the door headed to school in the morning.

And since there's not much else to do in this heat, we headed to the pool tonight.  It was refreshing!
The minute I said "let's go swimming for a bit Grey"....I turned around and he had his shirt off and swim trunks on.  I really need to sign him up for a swim team.  He LOVES the water and he's learned so much this summer.  We picked up Livy and off we went!



Sailor on the other hand....she goes more for the look of a swimmer ;-)  My mom started calling her "the keeper of the first step"...that's her special spot in the pool.  No further!



the other kids don't mind either because then they make her get them all the toys -haha!  she's gettin' good at throwing the dive sticks in for them;)




 Some stunting off the board...

 She thought she stepped on something...



Sailor always tells me her legs are cold and then she makes me wrap her in this gigantic towel...it cracks me up...

Giuliana was there too tonight...



See what I mean - Look at her throw those dive sticks!  I guess while Grey was learning to dive, Sailie was learning to do this ;-)



Well, tomorrow is Friday.  I'm looking forward to a long, relaxing type of weekend.  Probably more of this and some grilling out.

In the meantime, we'll keep working on kisses with Giu Giu :-)  Because good lawwwddd those cheeks are yummy!

Have a good Labor Day weekend!

First Day of Preschool...

Grey's first day was today!  He was an ol' pro this year...So different from last year...Last year I was soothing a scared/crying little boy...this year Grey was helping to calm the other kids - ha!  It was a nice change!  I'm so proud of him....




 Sailor needed a bag too...
So, school is in full swing around here for ALL of us...Busy, Busy!

Senior Photoshoot...

I just had a senior photo session last night.  As we know, photography is a major passion of mine.  I'm on my second Dslr camera, a professional grade one and I'm learning more and more in photoshop.  I purchased photoshop a couple years ago and there is SOOOO much to learn.  I don't have a whole lot of time for it especially now with school starting, but I do enjoy doing it on the side. 

So, I thought I would share some photos I took...
 I absolutely LOVE this one...









I had a really fun time doing this...

Tonight looked like this...

It started with a Mug shot...

Sister thoroughly enjoyed her ice cream cone...
 (her new little 'S' bracelet...the girl accessorizes every morning before we leave for the day)


while Grey found just the right spot to sneak up on his sister...
 she tried to get away from the squirt gun...BUT, he got her...



Pouty sunset baby...

she quickly snapped out of it ;-)
Shortly after this the squirt gun was empty - so I took the hose to both of them - haha!


The major excitement of our day was registering Grey for his 2nd year of preschool.  Sailor watched with wide OPEN eyes.  We then headed to Target because I had a $3 coupon off the bookbags there ;-)  Grey picked out his brand new Spiderman backpack....he's good to go.  Sister proceeded to pick out a Dora backpack and had a MAJOR fit in the isle when I told her she was not getting one today.  And, I'm not very proud of this, but I caved and led her back to the dollar isle and let her pick something out there.

Summer is quickly coming to an end for us.  Where did it go?!

Love this man...

My friend sent me this pic last night and it made me smile!  I have no idea what we were doing, but I do know we were having fun.  A little blurry, yes, but I like it!

I'm blessed to have this guy by my side!
