Emme turns 5

Today we celebrated Emme in style with a tea party and face painting. Her requests were pink decor, Nutella sandwiches and Taylor Swift music. It was the perfect party for our little princess. 

Antioch Water Park

Hard to believe our summer is almost over. Trying to get in a few fun trips on our free days. Today we headed to Antioch to check out the town water park. Lots of fun slides and Emme was able to ride almost everything. She was happy to slide as long as I went with her, so I got to ride all the slides too:) Finn was his usual crazy self and stayed busy the whole day!

Safari West

Today we surprised the kids and took them on an African Safari....in Santa Rosa. The next best thing right? :) Kenzie was very excited to get a close up look at all the animals. Emme and Finn really liked the truck. I was just happy to have Jim home for a family day. 

Living Room Campout

Watching a movie is always more fun in the tent! 

Sewing Projects

Today I enjoyed a relaxing day at home and worked on a few sewing projects. Luckily my repair man was close by to help with my slightly fickle machine. 

Baseball Buddies

It's so much fun to play ball with your friends! Even if Mommy is sitting on the sidelines under a blanket freezing her butt off! 

The Long Drive home

We've made a big circle across the west. It's always hard to sit in the car for long days. Last night we stayed in Salt Lake City at a holiday inn that had an indoor water park. We let the kids stay up late. Finn spent the entire evening riding the water slide! This morning we headed out early. We stopped to see the Bonneville salt flats and let the kids explore. It's an 11 hour day home (yikes!).....but we're all ready to be in our own beds. Wish us luck!
