Matthew is in Pre-K!!

This handsome fellow started his last year of preschool.  It is hard to believe that he is the "big kid" at school now.  We are enjoying the couple extra hours that we get to spend together while Andrew is away.

Happy 10th Anniversary!!

It's not every day you celebrate 10 years of marriage! Brian made sure we celebrated in style.  We went to Las Vegas, and renewed our vows at an Elvis chapel!

 We will Never forget this!

 I can imagine doing this for real, I was actually nervous this time!

 The limo played all Elvis music

 It wouldn't be a trip to Vegas if we didn't stay at the Wynn.  Such a beautiful hotel, and they treated us so well.

Here's to 10 more years!

Now We Are Six!

What a week! Starting elementary school, and turning 6!!

 Keeping tradition and going to LegoLand.  This year we brought a friend, Calder.

 Grandma & Grandpa Wagner were in town too!

 The new Ninjago area was cool

 We could do this for hours

 The kid loves his Legos!

Happy 6th Birthday Andrew!

Andrew is off to Elementary School

Oak Grove here we come!!

 Andrew was so excited for school, we are so proud of him!

 First day is a Success!!

 His teacher sent home ready confetti for the night before school started. I think it was supposed to get the nervous kids ready, we were trying to calm the boy down who was jumping on the bed screaming, "I'm so Excited"!!!

 Matthew got two special weeks by himself with Mom.  We went to the park, to Catch Air, out to lunch, and several playdates.

Every afternoon we walk/ride bikes to the bus stop.

Two weeks in, and we're still doing really well.  The day is definitely long, but I think we're all really happy to have started elementary school!

End of Summer Fun

With no big trips planned for the summer, we tried to keep busy at home, not a problem!

 We went blueberry picking

 I thought they'd be sick from how many they ate

 4 lbs later

 making fish faces in the fort

 Mom and Dad got away for a work conference

#22 on the bucket list - Go Cubs!

 Fun at the pool

 How much longer will Dad be able to do this??

 Help Build Hope

We helped frame a 3 bedroom house with our church one Saturday morning

 Summer Reading - 75 books got us to LegoLand

 Found this prize "egcorn"

 We'll see if a new tree sprouts in the middle of the yard

Every summer gets better and better! And while we were all ready for school to start, I can honestly say we had a lot of fun together this summer.  Can't wait to see what's in store for us next!
