End of Summer

I'm amazed at how fast the summer has gone! After today, we'll be jumping..full swing.. into routines. Kindergarten, Preschool, dance classes, and I've auditioned for a choir that will start rehearsing next week!! I'm excited for this small chapter of life to star... esp. looking forward to FALL in VA, the leaves, cooler weather, amazing clear blue skies, the crisp fresh fall air, (the memories of when Justin and I started dating!!) It's right around the corner... (ahhhh!) makes me want to go out and buy school supplies! "bouquets of sharpened pencils"

We planted Mums to welcome the FALL...

Summer brought some wonderful memories... some that i am sad to say were overlooked while blogging... here are a few highlights that fell through the cracks...

Will wrote his name for the very first time, all by his little self!
GRILLED pizza continues to be a favorite summer dinner of ours! Click here for RECIPE
Played Mario Brothers... (Correction, we played A LOT of Mario!) Most over-used phrase that i would hear... "Will... Just go in a bubble!"
Met Daddy at the park on Fridays for lunch, yes even on the HOT days!
After Caitlin saw Will's box from his camp... she wanted a car box just like him... this was the best i could come up with!
One Sunday morning before church, we went out driving (Yup, we were Sunday Drivers, and we loved it!!) and found ourselves at a really pretty park...
Caitlin wins for best outfit seen in public...
this park was by the river... lots of people fishing and boating (and water skiing!)


Tea Parties...
lots of silliness...

Open house at Caitlin's school... Here's Justin sitting in Caitlin's seat filling out paper work for her teacher!
the school's theme this year! (mascot: Stingers)
Tender moment: Brinley fell asleep in the car on the way home on day... Will made a bed for her using his own sleeping bag and blanket, even gave her a good night kiss!


We took a trip to the Mall and they dipped their feet in the fountain! (Shhhh!)

Brinley just keeps getting cuter and cuter every day and she's growing up so fast!
basket time...


She's really helpful in the kitchen...
