Boppa's Birthday and Meeting Baby Wade!

We celebrated Boppa's 92nd Birthday Party (September 11th) at Poppy and Kye Kye's house. This was also the first time we got a chance to meet my cousin Matt's new baby, Wade William!

Mimi and Wade meet for the first time. Great-Grandma/Great-Grandson

I think she's in love!

He seems unimpressed. ;)

Poor Boppa had bumped his head a few days earlier and it wasn't pretty!

Four generations!

These two sure enjoyed holding Wade!

Happy Birthday to Boppa! He had mentioned that he wanted a real (professional) Birthday Cake so that's what he got! We aim to please!! Especially when it comes to Boppa!!

Making a wish!

Happy Birthday Boppa...and welcome to the family baby Wade!! We love you both!

Jenna's First Day of First Grade!

Jenna had a GREAT first day of school! Can't believe she's already in First Grade! Time flies!!

We all took her on her first day...


With her friend (since preschool) Ashley...

With her friends Dominic (middle) and Ethan waiting to go to class...

Meeting Mrs. D.

Aww...she loves her First Grade teacher! (so do we!)

...and they are off!!

It's gonna be a great year!!

Big Boy Bed for Ryan!!

We decided that Ryan was old enough to graduated to a big boy bed after we got back from Disneyland. We decided on a full size bed for him since he's so tall and we figured he'd grow into it in no time.

Before dismantling his old room I decided to take a quick picture of the way it looked. Notice the crib tent on his bed. He's been climbing out of the crib ever since he learned to walk so we got a crib tent to keep him safe (and to protect our sanity!!)....

Got a quick pic of Jenna in the crib...which was hers when she was a baby!

Getting ready to tear it down (the new bed is already set up at this point!)

Ryan sleeping in his new BIG BOY BED!!

Let the sleepovers begin!!

Swimming Lessons

Jenna didn't really "need" swimming lessons this year but she wanted to take some anyway. The City was offering lessons for a decent price so we went for it. Plus....her friends Mia and Macie decided to join in the fun as well which made it even better!
