It's the most wonderful time of the year!!


A few years back, there was a commercial on advertising back-to-school deals, and the parents were waltzing down the aisles of the stores joyfully throwing school supplies into their carts while the Christmas song, "It's the most wonderful time of the year" was playing in the background. That has become my theme song for this time of year!! As much as I love all the fun we get to have together during the summer, I am always very ready to get the little munchkins back in school. And when they are being honest and not going for that pre-teen attitude they seem to be sporting younger and younger these days, they are always really excited to go back to school as well!

Katelyn had a great 8th birthday! Here she is with her loot!












Kate had a Luau theme for her party this year. She and her friends had a lot of fun dressing in their leis and hula skirts and playing games. It was a really hot day, so the swimming and sprinklers were a big hit too!
