September is here already! Back to School!!!

Wrapping up Summer enjoying my friends boat… Kristen grew up next door to Chris and they have been life long friends since birth it seems. I got lucky with this as she rocks and has become one of my closest friends. We are so similar in so many ways than just our names…

Last year of these two in elementary school together… Still cannot believe my Garrett is in 6th grade and Ayden is in 4th. Excited to kick off the year and get back to see their friends!

Last year of middle school… I can’t stop time.

Long before our Bella came into our life, we met so many people through their dogs. We have our favorites and Gracie is one of them. Gracie hugs and never forgets her best human friends.

Bella is blessed with a lot of friends in our neighborhood and is loved beyond measure. It was tough having the crew head off for school… Bella sat out front all day waiting for them to come home.

Ayden turns the double digits!!!

 

I have never met anyone with a more fun loving bubblier personality. Having Ayden a part of our family is completely refreshing. She is always willing to try new things (other then rollercoasters) and I have rarely seen her without a smile. Being around this girl simply makes every day special.

Happy 10th birthday to my youngest love!!!

This year she opened Ayden’s Salon out of the basement of our house. The salon has mani/pedi, massage & hair. Her business changed ownership after a couple of months to Ayden again where she took her business to a higher level. It is now called Ayden’s resort. At this “resort” you can get anything. She sells off various household items that I still use.. (lol) and even puts on plays in addition to all of the other services listed above. I am eager to see where she goes in life…

August is here!

Summer track program at Masco.. some take it seriously, some just do it for fun. Jordan runs shorter distances…

Jury is still out for Ayden… but like everything else, she does it with a smile.

Garrett is definitely a long distance runner. I do not know where he finds his stamina. He is a definitely a natural runner…

Spent the day in Newburyport with the gang… saw a parade and watched bed races down their main street. There is always something going on here. Love this town!

My beautiful crew… We are so lucky!!!

Our latest addition was a puppy for a day… She is a big girl with a puppy mentality…

and totally fits right in!

We may only have our pool open a few months out of the year, but we certainly put it to good use!!!!

Ayden and I took a “girls gone wild” trip to visit my sister and parents in Charleston, SC. We spent the morning walking the bridge with my Dad.

While Jordan & Garrett spent the week at Camp Rotary!

We wrapped up August spending a week on Little Sebago Lake in Maine. It is by far one of the most relaxing places on earth…

Where we ALL mastered our wake boarding skills…

8 am Surf Club

First tracks on the lake…

No sleeping in for this crew… Most definitely our best week of the summer!

We even found a rope swing!

It was extra special having Bella on board!

Moms out playing!

It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt… Foot impaled on something in the lake….and five stitches later… we were heading home. Worth every stitch…

Wet Black Dog, Crusher… Need I say more! August Rocked!!!
