Of course it had to be hot today

We have been planning on putting in a play structure for the kids in the backyard and have been putting it off all summer, but this week Matt got a bee in his bonnet and got the fence put around the spa, bought the fort and slide and said Sunday we are going to put it in. Well it was about 106 degrees at 3:30 today when he finally had enough. Of course today had to be so hot. Anyways the boys had fun helping Daddy and Papa put it together, I don't thing Daddy and Papa had as much fun.

Bracken's 1st day of Preschool

Bracken started his 3rd year of preschool this past week, and was such a big boy no tears or anything. He should be an old pro by now but this year he is going to a new school and more days, 5 half days to be exact. He had a little nervous belly a few days before school started but once he got there he thought it was so cool. A plus for me, it down the street at the elementary school that he will attend next year, so no more driving across town at lunch time, yeah!

Happy Birthday

Matt's Birthday

Today is Matt's 32nd Birthday, so we wish him a Happy Birthday with lots of love. Hopefully we will be able to get out maybe this weekend to celebrate with a dinner or something, but until then he picked to have a take out sushi dinner tonight and I did get him an ice cream cake for desert. I would have made him a cake but since today was cleaning day I got off easy.

Camping

We all got away for a little summer trip before school starts and had a blast camping with our neighbors up at Flying Flags in Buelton. So call me crazy, but to add a few more days to the outing Matt drove us up and dropped me and the kids off for 2 days while he went back home for work. It was very overwhelming, but I survived with the help from our friends and me and 3 kids 4 and under made a trip to the pool and the beach. We were so happy to see daddy again on Friday afternoon for the rest of the weekend. This was Ainsley's first time camping and first time to the beach. As it so happens all three kids had there first real beach experience at the same beach.
