September Synopsis

September went really fast. Finishing unpacking, getting settled - having Lucy and Kate start school while Jaydon went off track, Mariners, swimming, volleyball, cooking, kiddie amusement park...we had a fun and busy month getting our feet under us and settling in.
For Jaydon's birthday we have often gone to a Mariner's game, this year the M's happened to be playing in Oakland over his birthday weekend. We were excited to go and watch them get a victory!

There were even some fireworks for us to enjoy after the game and bask in our victory...

This is my accomplishment, 2 weeks after arriving I had everything put away and both cars in our garage.
Jaydon's extended birthday

Excited to be a Golden State fan (until the Sonics come back that is)
We are bummed we didn't get to see Aubrey play volleyball for WWU in person this year but we got to watch most of her matches on the TV

Jaydon's school project, make a self portrait when you are 100.
Jaydon learned to cook eggs and has been a master egg maker for us.

Lucy's first day of school!

She had a great day and was excited to share it with Lily.

Kate's first day of preschool!


Lily really seems to like our new house
I took the kids to a healthy kids fair day at a nearby aquatic center, they had a great time (it was super hot, I wish I was in the pool too).







Jaydon was excited about his crib hand
Crazy kids, I took them out to dinner when dad was out of town one night

Jaydon and our neighbor Marco
Enjoying the rides at our nearby kid amusement park, we went with a neighbor family and had a great time.




Another fun crib hand
Kate's art work!

Gabriel's birthday adventure

We are so glad to have some family somewhat nearby (about a 2.75 hour drive). A second cousin of mine Matt and his wife Karolina with their three boys Gavin, Gabriel and Greyson. We got to spend some time with them to celebrate Gabriel's 2nd birthday and visit the zoo.





We put all the kids in the wind tunnel (minus baby Greyson), it was awesome!










The boys are big train fans so we found a duplo Thomas set for Gabriel that was a hit.




Big brother Gavin came over to blow out the candle.
