boogie boarding

Beach days are still here, Hailey and Lyzel 

 once again we had to pull Hailey out of the water after 2 1/2 hours straight

We got Chicks

The kids have been begging us to get chickens again and we finally caved in.  Hailey could barley sleep the whole week she was so excited.  She told us she wanted to be pulled out of school when we got the call from the post office.  We got the call at 1/2 hour after school started

Meet Eggbert, Fedora, Ken and Sweet fire.  Bob didn't do well on the flight and we had to lay him to rest

Chickenbutts

The cat really likes watching the chicks and batting them on their heads with her paw

Having baby chicks is such a chick magnet.  I can't tell you how many 8th grade girls have come over to see the chicks!  It's good for Shane

11th day of school

I couldn't get my act together to get a 1st day of school picture until the 11th day of school.  Translation- the kids kept leaving and not letting me get their picture together!  I don't think they changed much in those 11 days.

 Say cheese- a Luke inspired picture. 

Shane and Hailey were excited for school to start, and that's the truth!  Hailey said she had too many chores over the summer and Shane was sick of being home.

Labor Day

Hailey's soccer team was in San Juan Capistrano and spent a long weekend down there

We had lots of pool time and bonding

 Hailey's team took 2nd place and fought hard.  5 games in 3 days and Hailey played almost every minute of every game. 

Shane's basketball team was in Palm Springs and so were the Belofsky's who invited him to stay with them.  Here is their suite

 Any second Shane wasn't playing basketball he hung out with Aidan.  They went to an escape room, water park and hung out at the resort

 Shane's team got 3rd place.  Shane is the oldest on his team but so little looking- sorry Shane

 Sports, friends, hotels and laugher for 3 days
