It's nearly Fall and I haven't added many pictures from our Summer adventures!
(prepare to be amazed - haha :)
Independance Day
After food and fun at Grandpa/ma's house, we headed to our traditional spot to watch Fireworks over Mt. Rubidoux. They were awesome - for a few minutes - and then we noticed little fires spark up all over our beloved hill! Show Over! (FYI: Mt. Rubidoux survived!)
Thanks Grandma for the special Fourth of July goodies!

Visit home...
We were blessed to spend nearly 2 weeks in AZ. It was hot, but we had a blast - cramming in all the visits with family/friends we could manage!!!!
Ty and Joy and Gabby!
(With a special visit from Auntie Em. We saw Aunt Renee and her adorable house & puppies too, but none of my pictures from that visit turned out!)
We were even able to spend some time with the adorable Bridge Family!
Swimming and more cousin fun at Dave and Molly's...
And, one last visit to Peter Piper Pizza!
(Its tradition)
We already miss every one!!!
COLORADO!
Out of the blue, Ellie and Justin had an amazing opportunity to go to Colorado with cousins! Thanks Mike and Kimmie for taking them - they had the time of their lives!
(I'm terribly jealous they got to go and I didn't :)

We "lunched" with Grandma GG, Grandma Vickie, and
special 2nd cousins, Haley and Aubrey Morse!
We were able to spend a couple of days at the Manning Cabin!!! We hadn't been in years and it holds such a special place in our hearts. It was as great as we remembered...
Cali got her first haircut - from Grandpa, of coarse!
Rylie wanted one too and cut off all her hair!

Ellie and Justin were especially grateful/happy to meet new cousins (2nd and 3rd???). Those kids loved eachother immediately and I hope they will all remain great friends their entire lives.
AUGUST BIRTHDAYS
(We have 3 of them - its always a crazy time! What were we thinking???)
Rylie turned 8!!! She had her first "friend" party.
Night Owl Pajama Party!
Just about a week later, Ellie became a TEENAGER and Cali turned 3
(This is Cali's standard smile for pictures these days!)
(This girl is so like me its scary sometimes: she asked for new bedding/room decor for her Birthday!)
The First Day of School
2 Middle-Schoolers (6th and 8th)
and
2nd Grade for Rylie.
(I only have a few short years until my Cali starts school. I'm already sad.)
Thanks for the catch up. I love all of you!
