Summer Fun Catch Up

I just got some pictures from Ashley from some of the fun things we did this summer with Jaxon. They are so cute, and I wish I could post them all, but I'll just have to choose.

The kids did so well in swimming lessons this year. Jaxon learned how to swim to the wall and do his airplanes by himself! And Brailyn's freestyle has really improved. She has a pretty good side breath.





We also went to the Dinosaur Museum in Mesa (Natural History Museum) with Jaxon and Parker and had fun looking at the dino fossils and panning for gold. Mostly they were just being cute.

This is just totally her personality!



Checking out the real alligator

Fun in Del Mar

This past weekend, Brailyn and I decided to tag along with Grandma on her weekend at the beach vacation with Larissa and her friend. Who's gonna pass up a free trip to California?? I just wish we could've stayed the whole week, but alas, there was high school and preschool, and no one to watch Brailyn while I ran (or a treadmill onsite for that matter...otherwise I might still be there!)

We had such a good time, chillin' at the beach, swimming in the pool, playing in the park, and just having fun together. I had some nice runs along the coast (not in the sand, too dirty) and enjoyed the time to do whatever Brailyn wanted to do. Thank you Grandma!! We're definitely doing this every year. Let's just book it before school starts...


Building a Sand Castle



Getting Buried in the Sand


Silly with Lala and Kelsey


Braving the Cold Water


Learning to Boogie Board (although, it lasted only once. A big wave snuck up on us and she had enough after that...)

Preschool!!

Brailyn is excited to be back in preschool at MCC. And this semester Jaxon is there too, so it's even better! She's already jumped right in where she left off, and is determined to paint enough masterpieces to cover every square inch of our walls! I'm so glad she loves school and can't wait to see her learn and grow even more this year!



She insisted I take a picture of her backpack too:)
