2013 Fall School Pictures

They are both in Ms. Barbara's class at Great Lakes Montessori.

Indian Summer Swim

The kids wanted to get in another swim on a warm September 26th night.  They played in it for about 20 minutes before they were ready to get warmed up in towels.

September Beach Night

I really wanted to get a family picture on the beach this year and I knew that our window was getting shorter so when we had a really great late September night we grabbed the kids, camera and tripod and took off to the beach.  We only had a quick stop at Jimmy John's for some dinner, because I'm a smart mom and knew that I would get the best cooperation with full bellies.  Voila!  After quite a few attempts, picture accomplished.  I think this might even make our Christmas card.  :)

And bonus, I was able to get in a pic with my babies.

First Family Golf Tournament at OHCC

First Day of Preschool

Wesley is starting his second year of preschool and Addie is starting her first year at Great Lakes Montessori with Miss Barbara.  They are going two days a week and then Wes is also going to Grace Lutheran Preschool with Mrs. Lockman for three mornings a week.  For the 2013/2014 school year Wesley is sporting a Transformer backpack and Addie has a lovely Hello Kitty one.  Mommy and Daddy hope you two have a wonderful school year.

Sitting with Grandma Jean

Ski Rats

The kids have enjoyed learning to "ski" this summer.  It is kind of like an inflatable jet ski with ski boots and a ski rope.  The kids can choose to sit down on the seat or stand up to get the feeling of skiing.  We have been pulling them behind the pontoon and they can't get enough.  They are very social and constantly looking for people to wave at while out on the lake.  It looks like a lot of fun and by the smiles on their faces I'd say it for sure is.

Messy Chips

While looking at pictures I have taken I come across ones like these with a hint of cheese on the face.  Addie calls them messy chips and they are her absolute favorite.  :)
