School days are here...

It's official, my work here is done. The kids are BOTH in elementary school and now it's the teacher's jobs to raise these mun-che-che's. Ha, kidding, I think this means we are even going to be busier!
Batman and Bieber, Jr. Notice the puffy shoes, oy vey. Now you know why my hair coloring appointments are more frequent these days, gray hairs.

Our 2nd grader, as excited as can be!!

Our brave and excited kindergartner! Batman was the choice for such an important day...

Daddy and Mema did drop offs. Apparently, mom has a little issue with tearing up.

A locker? For real? Yes, for real, if you come near my child you will hear ALL about it.

A little sad his hook isn't near Isabel's, but word on the street has it that it is near Adam's and that's pretty rad.

To left of Aidan is our beloved Ms. Robinson. She's a HIT around these parts!

1st day and already copying off his neighbor. His dad must be a Coug.

An extremely exciting first day, there was an important tooth lost! That's what happens when you don't stop talking, teeth fall out of your head.

Because of the loooonnnnggg school day at Sage, Mom got to do pickups!

Big hugs!

Action shot, this is how we do it peeps.

More Rainier... Finally!

Please don't take my lack of Rainier posts be an indication of how proud I am of those boys! Finally, here are more pictures of 2012's big adventure...

The Beast

Hiking to Base Camp...

Lovely weather and note the headband, compliments of Uncle Jonny's niece Morgan... This girl's finger knitted gifts made it to the summit!


Even daddy sported the handmade headband.

Base camp view...10,000 feet.

More base camp!


Just me, but this doesn't look relaxing.

The cute little cabin I think they would have liked to have stayed in at Camp Muir.

The little cabin they actually stayed in. Word has it, no rest was to be found before summit!


Bluebird day takes on a whole new meaning up there!



A man and his trusty ax


The boys... Jon, Ryan, Jeff


Such a sweet daddy showing the "Morgan original" at summit. A good luck charm for sure...

My brother, my hero!

Cheers...

This is what happy and relieved looks like!




I've only seen this view out of an airplane. Unbelievable!


The crew!

A much deserved toast! Congratulations gentlemen!!

Aidan and the camera...

Aidan loves the camera and loves capturing life as we live it... Not always glamorous, but the boy does not know how to snap a pic (or more!)

Nightly jam session... (Ryan's going to hate this picture being posted, but hey, I can blame it on Aidan right?)

Ninjago obsession. So what to do, take a picture of it!

Beloved Byron, helping me out in the mopping department.

From the looks of those eyes, this was an early morning self photo session.

Work it boy!

Beware the claw.

Yeah baby! This is what good lookin' looks like!

Too much fun for an early morning shoot!

I had to humor him, right? Post-neighborhood swim-a-thon.

The Kearney ladies...

New Neighborhood Happy Place!

On Friday, we were invited over to our neighbor's pool for some fun. And fun we had!!!! Thank you Carissa, we can't wait to do it again!

Future dermatologist perhaps?

One of these kids is doing his own thing! The darling Hills children and Aidan!

Meanwhile, Tristan and Morgan swam 552 laps... Competition at it's best!

Such fun! Even the moms got in. Well, maybe Carissa did...

Boy talk on the stroll home...
