Hallelujah Night Fun

We had another great time at our church's Hallelujah Night. Who says you can't have fun at church?! Ry and Ev had a very busy week with two Trunk or Treat activities at school, a parade, and a class party. They had a blast!

Fall Photo Shoot

Loving my two!

Hi!

Dusting this ol' blog off to drop these pictures from a couple weeks ago. We celebrated Daddy P's 40th birthday with a dinner party, and the Peas took another trip to NYC. More to come later.

First Day of 1st Grade

August 27th brought a lot of firsts to our household. It was the first day of 1st grade for Ryan and Evan, the first day that I was able to do the back to school drop off, and the first day we weren't allowed into the classroom with the Peas. We had to say goodbye outside and watch our big boys walk into their new adventure without us. Ry and Ev were so excited for their first day! They finally get to wear the "second step" uniform; no more sweats for these big boys! It was a bittersweet moment for us. We are so very proud of these two and we know they have bright futures ahead of them.

 By this time they were so over having their picture taken!

 A gaggle of boys! There are so many boys in R & E's class! We finally got a new girl the class this year, though.

When it was time to line up to head into the school Ryan and Evan started to feel a little nervous, but they ended up having a great day. Here's to another great year at SAA!

Saying Goodbye to Summer

As we prepare to start school tomorrow, it's time to say goodbye to summer 2015. This has been a busy summer for the Peas and we have had lots of fun, but all good things must come to an end. Here are a few of the memories we made this summer:

Easton Carnival 

Swim Lessons

We still need more lessons, but I think Evan is well on his way. Ryan needs to realize that he must put his head under water in order to swim!

Quassy Park

A "Just Because" road trip to Raleigh & Maryland

This was Ryan the entire road trip! The poor thing was miserable and kept complaining that "this trip is taking forever! You guys are ruining my life!" It was a brutal drive...for all of us!

Days at the Seaside Park

Family Bike Rides

Our "Say Goodbye to Summer" getaway to Lake Compounce

No more training wheels!

 This guy learned to ride without training wheels in about 10 minute. He's been rolling ever since!

Evan can ride too, and also learned pretty quickly, but he doesn't feel very confident on his bike. He's terrified of falling (who knew Evan was afraid of anything!). He took a pretty bad tumble and  scraped his elbow during one of our family rides and I think it really upset him. He'll be fine though!

Hanging out at our local park

It was a great summer. The Peas worked hard on their school packet and on their reading, but we played hard too. Until next time, summer!
