First Day of School

The day has finally come! The day every mom looks forward to by the end of August. The FIRST DAY of school! So far so good, they both say they like it. It's really good for them because they were going no matter what! Reed is in preschool and Nora is in 2nd grade.

Horse Camp

The week before school started Nora went to horse camp. Her favorite part of camp was mucking stalls! Imagine that! The last day of camp was a show and she won 3 First Place ribbons.

Nora turns 7!

Wow, I really think that time does fly by without us knowing. Nora turned 7 on Aug. 19th and it was hard for me! She just seems so much older this year. While we have our moments together, it is a lot of fun to watch her grow and learn. She had a fun-filled weekend of birthday events. On Friday we went to our neighbors for a High School Musical 2 premiere, on Saturday she had her BFF Kendra to sleepover and watch HSM2 again, and Sunday was her birthday party! Whew, I was tired on Monday and she was a little spoiled.

Traverse City

Every year in August we travel to Traverse City and enjoy a nice relaxing weekend with the family. This year we went tubing on a lazy river, jet skiing, dominoes, swimming, shopping and enjoying each other's company.
