Working on getting back to blogging after many (many) months off! Here are some of the Thomas highlights from August and September!
We love our summer mornings! Lots of time to snuggle, read, watch shows and spend time together!! We love playing with our sweet friends ALL day long in the summer!
First day of school! Carson is enjoying 4th grade and has a "boy teacher" this year (as the kids call it in our house). Aliana has the same teacher Carson had last year and is liking 3rd grade! She never really "loves" school, so it's the best when she likes it!!
Aliana turned EIGHT in September and we had a fun time celebrating! She invited her besties over for a "campout"! We made s'mores, ate pizza and slept in a tent!
Aliana spent her actual birthday weekend in Colorado Springs where we toured the Springs Homeless Rescue mission and brought donations from home. It is an AMAZING Christian organization that does so much for homeless in CO Springs. Every year Brian and I have a girls/boys trip with the kids to practice our Thomas 5 (Love God, Work Hard, Live with Integrity, Walk in Wisdom & Treat Men and Women with Respect). These are such precious moments with our kids that we really treasure!
This year, Aliana asked for a bedroom update! Aliana worked VERY hard to get rid of a TON of little toys, papers, crafts, supplies, etc etc from her room before she could have an upgrade! Mom is loving the simplicity of this new room arrangement ;)
We had one final birthday celebration with the cousins and a girls trip to see Frozen the Musical! It was amazing!! Thanks Oma!!!
My birthday was also in September and I had a fun girls night with these sweet friends!! My friend on the left owns two restaurants in Longmont, CO with her husband and The Roost is going to be on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives! They just finished filming!! This is their other amazing restaurant!
And the summer wouldn't be complete without a Triathlon (or 2!) in the summer months! Today was my last Tri of the season and it felt a little more like winter than summer!! It was 45 degrees this morning when we had to get in the water! Brrrrr!
Thanks for reading!! Have a great week!
