football, lacrosse, soccer, cross country...

 everyone did something in the fall. it was busy busy. mya ran cross country for the school and burke played football. ayla played soccer for brayge with some of her cutest little friends and tegan played fall lacrosse with the high school team. 

school time...

 the saddest part of the year came yet again. school. off they went. early early for tegan, the start of highschool. burke getting to rule the middle school, hopefully with kindness. mya ready for 7th grade and ayla ready to crush 4th grade. they sure looked cute all ready to go. 

august...

mya's basketball team put together a bam jam team. the had a whole lot of fun. might not of won too many games, but they had fun. they are a cute group of girls. 

before school started we squeezed in one last cabin trip. it was quick but a whole lot of fun as always. we took jackson up with us since burke wasn't able to come until the weekend, he had football. the henkel's came up for a few days too. then school started the following week and all of our summer fun was over.

we have a 15 year old...

 and just like that he is 15! august started out with celebrating tego and another trip around the sun. he is awesome. we sure love that kid. he is kind and sweet. cares a who lot about everyone and is starting to enjoy being around his friends all the time. he loves lacrosse and could play it all day every single day. we even had a birthday party for him. thats a rarity around here. it was fun to celebrate him!

california...

 we flew into oakland for the boys tournament down in san jose so we could do san francisco for the day. we did all the sites, fullhouse, golden gate bridge, lombard street, chocolate factory, the pier, walked all the streets and even went out to alcatraz. it was pretty cool! the boat ride out there didn't suit be super well. i got quite sick on the way back and the trash can was my bff for a bit. after getting back from our tour we walked back to our car thinking we would be able to leave downtown easily, we were wrong it took almost 3 hours to get down to san jose on a friday night. it was a long day, especially when you woke up at 4:30 am. 

 

saturday games began early and the boys both played well, the teams were hard and wins weren't easy to get but we had fun and enjoyed being in california. we stayed a few days after the tournament was over, we went down to santa cruz on monday to play in the ocean and on the beach, we rented wet suits and boogie boards. looooove the ocean, santa cruz was fuuuunnnnn. we checked out oakland on our way back out of town on tuesday, found some redwoods, we stopped at the temple, gorgeous!! but other than that oakland is gross and ghetto then home we came!
