So much has been happening and we have been so VERY busy!! Lots and lots of fun things.....
We had never been camping as a family, so we decided it was time. Not only did we go camping, but we camped out at the ZOO! It was SO much fun.
Here is our tent!
Having dinner.
Enjoying an evening stroll around the zoo. A lot of the animals that are sleeping during the day were up and around including the lion!
Time for some arts and crafts!
Getting ready for our night hike! It was fun sneaking up on the animals.
Can't go camping without s'mores!
The girls and I cuddles in for the night!
And the family right after we woke up and started packing to leave!
Natalie has turned into an avid reader. By the end of second grade they are supposed to have 20 AR points. She had 22 on the first day of school!! GO NATALIE!!
And somehow I forgot the locker photo and Acacia was already in her classroom on the first day of school when we got there.
It's getting harder to eat around here! Natalie looses another tooth!
The end of summer means it is time for Abbie's birthday!! This year it was skating!
Julia had a little playdate with her BFF Natalie. We made a cake in the easy bake oven and had a small tea party!
Acacia came over one weekend day and the girls rode bikes!
And we had to get one more swim in the Savannah pool before it closed for the season.
The girls signed up for the Jr. dance team, which means they went to practice 4 nights in a row, learned a couple dances and preformed with the dance team at the football opener. They did great!!
This shot was on the school's Facebook page. You can see Julia, but Natalie is behind one of the dancers.
And they are ready for their big performance!
Cheering in the stands before halftime.
All of the Jr. Dance team and dance team.
Heading out the field!
Heading off the field.
After the performance with our dancers!

Here is a little video of the performance!
Kendra and I met for lunch and almost got a photo of all of our kiddos. We are each missing one.
I love Julia's artwork.
And this is what my girls look like when they heard the Burbach's sold their house and might be moving closer to us!
And a photo of Max just because he is cute!
Natalie and Julia have both started taking private piano lessons this school year. Here is Julia at her first lesson.
And here she is just two weeks in playing Old McDonald, which I think is just amazing! The little turkey wants to practice all the time!
Here are the flowers Jeff sent me for our ten year anniversary!
The girls were so excited to go to their first music concert! They were headed to see Florida Georgia Line! That is how we celebrated 10 years!
Dinner at Olive Garden before the concert, which is where Jeff and I went on our first date.
Waiting between opening acts.
Poor Julia didn't make it all the way through. I couldn't believe she slept through all the noise!
This one got her jam on.
Natalie and I at lunch together one day.
These silly girls loved the fun Halloween costumes at Target.
Chloe celebrated her birthday at a local art center and each guest got to paint a canvas! It was so fun!
After the birthday party we went fishing out at the ranch. Along with the fish, we also caught a frog.
Natalie attended a birthday party where they got to dress up, have their nails done and even have their hair styled!
And last but not least, we got the girls up to catch the lunar eclipse the other night.
And here are the girls at gymnastics with their friends!
