9th grade for hazel

olive is in 7th

noah's a junior

henry is in 3rd

and eleanor is in 5th

homemade ice cream and the biggest brown eyes

feeling more confident than i have in a long time

meet the teacher for jude

cozy corner of the shed

michael's feet look like giant feet next to mine

henry is a baby burrito

wild waves

after getting the boat diagnosed we learned it wasn't worth repairing

so we said goodbye

bittersweet

three layers of kiddies

we took noah out to dinner

that bed head though

morning light in eleanor and olive's room

grumpy game players

typical

noah got his patriarchal blessing

henry made dinner

yahtzee

we went to the puyallup fair for labor day 

scones!

andre'a's family met us there

obsessed with the baby piglets

a brick of fries

so fun we got to see michael's parents there, too

soaking up the last bit before kindergarten

the  kids love it when i make muffins

been doing lots of sewing

lunch date to cascadia

first day of kindergarten!!!!

i really do miss him when he's gone all day

finally clean after a summer of being trashed

rubberbands!

double date night

hazel had her first x country meet

lunch with grandparents and cousins

so grown up

trying on my dresses

matching jams

henry decided to try selling candy at hazel's big x country meets

and it's adorable 

target

more matching jams

olive started track

getting jude to school any way possible

she fell asleep like this 💔sweet sleepy girl

henry the snail

olive is the cutest make up artist

michael took hazel (and henry) to portland for a meet

and stayed at his brother's

cousin time

i love how much more michael's niece looks like him than hazel

beach day

i'm not as dedicated to my walks but i still love them when they happen 

new toy we couldn't wait until christmas for

the boys liked the box, too

love this girl

do we go to target too often?

perfect costume found

although i had to order it online to get his size

when a kid forgets to take their medicine so you have to catch them on your electric bike in santa jammies :)

loving so much time to sew

picking up kiddies
