missing summer already

I just wrote a big paragraph that got lost in a copy/paste blunder.
Ah.
To some up I'll just mention that one of my favorite parts of the summer- a mom and kids trip to Lake Tahoe with two of my best friends-is not represented here due to the fact that my camera was lost under the seat of my road trip mess of a van. But we loved every minute (minus a few 3 year old tantrums and sleepness baby nights) of our trip with the Montez and Russell families. Highlights: Sand Harbor, hiking, the chairlift, attempting geocaching, our up close and impressive bear sighting(she rolled over a dumster), rec center swimming, Kathi's gourmet meals, and nightly girl talk. Can't wait for next summer.
Here are some thing you can see.

Grand T and Oma bought the kids Legoland passes and we all went together. Even Liliana was excited.
Jonah celebrating getting his drivers liscense
Lily and Naomi
We took the kids on their first camping trip-in our back yard. Full success. How can a tent kill your grass in 24 hours?
Jonah went for an early morning tracter run at Nana and Papa's house.
Insert here: swimming in our pool everyday, and weekly trips to the beach, planting a mostly failed garden, and just enjoying having my kids around all day.
The first day of school, August 17th, came too soon for me.

...luckily the kids were excited for it.
Naomi started 2nd grade and Jonah is in 4th.
Here we go again...
