This school year marks a new chapter in my life. For the first time in 19 years, I no longer have a little one home with me during the day! I still can’t believe my youngest baby is in kindergarten and about to turn 6! This year we also have one in 2nd, 5th, 8th, and 10th. My oldest baby is about to start her sophomore year at BYU.
Can't believe summer is almost over and school starts in just a few days!! Summer went by way too fast. The last weekend of July we took a trip to the beach and lucked out with beautiful clear, blue water due to the currents changing direction. Very rare for Galveston. It was the perfect beach day! Unfortunately Kyla had to work that Saturday, so she wasn't able to join us :(
Last weekend we had fun with cousins in Tomball at Hughes birthday party. Glad we could all get together before school started!
Summer evenings outside together as a family are my favorite!
So sad to see summer go, but definitely ready for some cooler weather!
This Memorial Day weekend was extra enjoyable because school was over!! For the first time that I can remember, school ended before Memorial Day and I absolutely love that! It's always been the biggest letdown to have to go back to school after the long holiday weekend. Our very generous neighbors offered us their beach house in Galveston for the long weekend. We headed up on Friday morning and left late Monday night. We had to be back on Tuesday for the two older girls to start their summer jobs. Elayna is working as a camp counselor at the YMCA (the very same one I worked at 22 years ago!) and Kyla is a lifeguard. We had the best time at the beach house and Grammy and Grandpa were even able to join us for a few days! The beach is one of my very favorite places to be. Love that we live so close!
Evan just finished up an awesome first season of baseball. So proud of how hard he practiced and how much he improved over the season. He lucked out with a great team, good coaches, and lots of new friends. His team came in third place and they each got a trophy! Looking forward to next year!
A few quick photos after church on Easter Sunday. Just missing Elayna, who spent her first Easter away at BYU. So happy to have her back home for the summer!
Avery turned 13 at the beginning of March. Hard to believe my big 11 pound baby is now a teenager! We are so grateful to have Avery in our family. She is such a big helper and loves to play with her little brothers and sister. We love you Avery!
At the end of February, Evan turned 10 years old! For his birthday we saw the new Lego movie at the theatre and went out to eat at Red Robin. Can't believe my sweet oldest boy is now double digits! He will be a teen before I know it.
