Saying Goodbye to Summer and Welcoming in Fall!!


Living life to the fullest!


This summer has been one for the books! I'm not even kidding. When we weren't out at the splash pad playing, or cooling off at Wet 'n Wild, we were having play dates at the pool and dates with Mommy to the library and dance class. And don't forget about all the yoga, fun in the kitchen, and Starbucks dates to keep us busy on the days when going outside just wasn't an option. Austin also started swim lessons this summer and has been kicking butt! We decided to keep him in it because he is doing so well, and who knows, maybe he will get into competing in the future? He has the body build for it! Here is a summer wrap up in pictures of how we ended our lazy summer days.... I usually hate Nevada summers but this one was just too good to be true!!

Hanging out with Daddy on the porch :).

It's Smack Down Time!

I wonder why Dad is always the favorite??

Visiting Great Grandma Helm is always a fun time!

FAMILY FUN WITH MY SISTERS WHEN THEY CAME OVER TO PLAY!!! 


Evie loves her Nana :).

Austin passed out cold from all the fun! :)

Game night :)

ALLLL THE STARBUCKS DATES!







LOTS AND LOTS OF YOGA (to save Mom's sanity)!

My fellow yoga lover :) :) :)

Basically to Eve, yoga means cuddles :).





FAMILY WALKS AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD :).

Fast as lightning on her little stroll with Mickey Mouse :).

Closing her eyes and feeling the wind on her face! Kids are the perfect example of living in the moment :).

COOKING WITH MAMA :). MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE THING TO DO!!!











Mom's great attempt at meal prepping while she ate everything I prepped hahaha!


Gotta love crazy Nana :).

We transitioned Evie's crib into a toddler bed! She's officially not a baby anymore!

My poor sick baby.... I had to get off work early to take her to the doctor :(.

We were outdoors about 75 percent of this summer! It was hot but it was worth it!
Parachute :)

Such a silly girl :)

Austin's first day of Pre-K and Evie's first day of 2 year old Preschool! Big milestone right here! They both love their new classes and teachers!

Such a crazy girl!

Glow stick bath party!

Love of my life who works hard to make this amazing life possible!

All the beautiful desert colors!

Off to another fun day of swim lessons!

I can't even count how many times we blew bubbles or blew up water balloons.....

Breakfast and one very moody two year old....

Passed out cold after church. That good eh?

Sis is basically potty training herself! She is the easiest child in the world to raise!

AND ALL THE LONG DAYS AT WORK THAT PAID FOR IT ALL! hahaha!!

Fun surprise to walk in on at work!

Another long day of Hemodialysis.....

WELCOMING FALL AND PREPPING A WHOLE NEW KIND OF FUN!

Painting pumpkins naked on the front porch for family home evening! Oh YES we did!

And we enjoyed every minute of it!

The kids took their artwork very seriously!

Getting our house all spookified!


Inspirada Octoberfest was such a blast!

Of course we ate brats!


And the kids had a blast playing games and doing crafts!

The spookification continues!


Can you tell we are excited for Halloween??



Summer was hot and summer was long. But now that I look back on it, summer flew by way too fast! Maybe it was all the fun we had? All I know is kids make life 100% better and these two have my whole heart and soul. I've never had so much fun in my whole life!
