Can't believe another summer has come and gone.  It feels like break just started.

Jake and mom day at the fair. Fun spending time just the two of us

Alyssa spent the day at the fair with her friend and we were sent this text from the mom saying Alyssa kicked it in the orange square (can you see it next to the goalie) on her first try and won a jersey.  She has quite the accurate shot.

This has been the summer of losing teeth for Jakey.  Lost a few, another two because loose. One hung on by a string and before we knew it, his mouth was full of missing teeth. So darn cute!

After finally losing the top tooth, the other hung on by thread for days!

Finally lost all four. He looks so different. My baby is getting older.

Spent a few days in Vegas this summer. With soccer and other plans it was tough to get away. Alyssa's team was supposed to be on a break for a few weeks. That was shortened by a Thursday call asking if we could play in the CSC tournament on Saturday.  Of course she wanted to play.  Girls did okay considering they hadn't practiced and were short four players, two being defenders. Just not the same team when you have that many missing kids. A few more tournaments this summer before Fall season begins.

Their happy place...two peas in a pod

Jake isn't light. Lis carries him like it's no big deal. She's one strong girl.

Jake thought it was a little too high

Ceci's last dinner before she headed back to El Salvador.  Love that these are all friends I made in 7th grade. Hard to believe we all look the exact same!

Love getting pictures from Alyssa during the day. She sent this to me waiting outside for her carpool to soccer camp. She pulled two-a-days and loved every minute of it. No better way to spend the day according to her.

First day of school. The first and only year these two will be at school together. They were so happy.  Only one drop off and one pick up. Woo hoo!!! And Lis was ecstatic to not have to wear a uniform. And she gets early day every single week. What a bonus. At CCA she only had a handful of early days the entire year. And she starts school one entire hour later than CCA. And and and ...... oh happy day!

Greeted by the Walters' kids in the morning. Irelin was Alyssa's personal tour guide.

His new desk. Didn't go inside the class because that would just be embarrassing. Duh!

Jakey was so happy to see his friends. Cute little dudes!
