First Day of Preschool!

Lauren started preschool this month. She goes on Tuesday and Thursday morning. She loves it! I miss her so much when she is gone, but it is fun to have some one on one time with Chase. Chase misses her too. He cries when we drop her off at school. I love picking her up from school. When she sees me, she runs to me yelling mommy! I pick her up and get the biggest hugs. I love it. I can't believe she is old enough to go to school.

Pismo Beach

We went to Pismo Beach for Labor Day. Our little niece, Emma, was blessed that Sunday. She is so tiny and adorable. We had so much fun. We went to the beach and played with cousins. The weather was perfect, and the beach wasn't over crowded. The kids loved the beach. Here are just a few pictures of our trip.

Chase decided to give it a try.

There he goes! Marcus was actually pulling him pretty fast. He was loving it. He went again and again

This is Lauren's first dance recital. (She's the blonde, second to the last girl.)

She was so cute. She loved it. She didn't want me to take her off the stage.

Vernal Falls, Yosemite Park

Lauren hiked up Vernal Falls all by herself. She did awesome. She never complained, even when she had to hike the stairs.
We went to Yosemite this past summer. We hiked Vernal Falls and some other small trails. Yosemite is so beautiful. I hope we can go back soon. This picture was taken at the top of Vernal Falls.
Chase was exhausted. Hiking is hard work. He had so much fun running around the trees and climbing on rocks.
We also went over to Mariposa Grove in Yosemite. They have giant Sequoia Trees.

Mommy's Little Helper

Chase loves to help me clean the house.
And he loves to help cook.
