Back to School Pics

Party it is time to start a new year of school!!! Rock on.. Okay maybe not but here are the pictures to kick off another year of school. Ashy will be starting her Kindergarden program (slowly) and doing Five in a Row. Cahill my dear is starting 2nd grade. (what!!??) Praying for a peaceful and incredible school year...I am super excited to say that Cahill read her very first chapter book this past month and has been very dedicated to reading it. Both girls are taking ballet at the co-op. Ashy is taking gym and a party themed Kindergarden. Cahill is taking two gym classes, elementary biology and a polymer art class. We are still doing the Awana program and this will be Cahill's 5th year and she is excited to graduate out of Sparks.

Justin's House

After the Helm's house we headed north to Uncle Justin's. Justin has a incredible beautiful pool in the back of his gorgeous house in Annapolis. The girls and I spent so much time in that pool we may still be water logged. We had so much fun at his house, playing with Sarah, loving Myla (the best dog in the world) and of course Uncle Justin. It was so nice to have Justin just to ourselves. Sarah even watched the girls so Justin and I could have a evening to go out to dinner and just talk about life. My only regret is that we did not have more time with him. Ashy has been begging to go back to his house. (she asked if we could have her Birthday party there) I see visiting again in the future but next time we may be flying. :)

East Coast Vacation

The girls and I decided before summer was over we were going to head out east. I really wanted to visit my brother and see the Helms clan. The weather was amazing even if it was a little too hot. We visited downtown DC, participated in my first hot yoga class, had some incredible indian food and of course great conversations. Cahill and Ashlynn fell in love with their cousins and we borrowed Adriana for a few days. As usual the Helms went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Surprisingly I did not take that many photos. I did however visit Trader Joes, Ikea, Whole Foods and Costco.
