Soccer

Grandpa & Grandma came up to celebrate Jeff's birthday and to watch Madeleine play soccer. Madeleine loved having them there!

Zoo Date!

Every other Friday, Madeleine has the day off at school! I want to make these Fridays a fun day so this time around, we headed to the zoo! The weather was amazing...summers in the Northwest can be quite perfect with our mild 70's & 80's but I LOVE Fall in the Northwest. We have had quite a bit of rain already but today was sunny and BEAUTIFUL! The mountains and water view in Seattle was spectacular...even the kids appreciate the beautiful place we live. So thankful.

 Baby Jaguar!

Lunch at the zoo

Hooray, I remembered money for the merry-go-round!

Soccer Friends

Madeleine was so excited to play some of her best buddies at a game this past week - Audrey & Taylor! 

Mom-Daughter Shopping Trip

Mom & I got away for the weekend for some shopping! A little trip planned for my birthday! We had lots of fun together. We ate some yummy food, had wine, shopped and relaxed. The best part was sleeping in! 

Shopping!

Braden is getting easier to shop with! A few months ago, I would have NEVER let him pull a little cart around the store and help me but these days, he actually follows some directions! We had fun shopping for Teacher Appreciation Day at Madeleine's school...thanks to Braden for all his help :)

Rain, Rain, Go Away...

We've had quite the downpour of rain this last week. Fall has definitely arrived here in the Northwest. The kids love it though...they splash in the puddles and run around in the rain!

BCC Mommy/Toddler Class!

Braden had his first "school" day today! He was SO EXCITED...beyond excited! He misses Madeleine while she is at school and is a bit jealous too I think. Finally today he got his chance and had a blast! This is the same class I did with Madeleine for two years (little B only gets 1) and I just love this class so much. We had so much fun!

The 1st Day of School shot...

He got to play with playdoh, paint, do puzzles, have snack with friends, circle time, and play outside. What a great day!

Here are a few extra pictures from the week...Braden & Madeleine good buds on the way to soccer. We love that soccer is literally a 2-minute walk up the street!

Madeleine had homework! She needed to create a doll that looked just like her. :)

Picture Day! Braden slept in and was still in pj's when sissy went off to school for her picture day. Check out those new, shiny boots!
