End of summer and I HATE my camera!


Okay so I had put off posting about our Labor day weekend because I "forgot" to take my camera with us to CA and was waiting for our friend Ronnie to email me the pics he took. To date he has not and so I blame the lack of LD pics on him and not on the fact that I hate my camera and did not take it. Anyways...we went to CA to visit for the weekend and had a great time. Bryn met her Great Grandma Mazlo for the first time and the girls also got to spend the day with Grandpa Craig, Grandma Lila and Uncle Justin. We stayed at Andy's house so it was like a sleepover weekend for Brook with Alyssa and Sierra. We bbq'd on Saturday and hung out till Sunday morning then headed to Ronnie's house on our way home. He and his family own a nursery where he also makes rustic cedar log furniture. It's great stuff, check it out at Uniquenursery.com. We're fortunate enough to have just about everything he has made and we love it all! While there we took a little nature trip up the mountain he logs and it was all just so beautiful and peaceful, I didn't want to leave. On monday we bbq'd at Grampy and Grammy's house. Our neighbors Cato and Robin came with us and we got to visit with Uncle Chris and Becky, Uncle Kermit and Leah. Nana, Connor, Sue and Steve were there also.
On wednesday Brook had her first ballet class. She is too cute in her outfit and her hair in a bun. By the way, they really should offer a pre class for the mom's to teach them how to get the kids ready for class. I had no idea how to do a bun, I had to call Robin, or whether or not the undies stay on underneath..small details but still wanted to get them right. Anyways Brook had a great time and I'm so excited to see all she will have learned at the performance next May.
Last night was open house to meet the teachers for preschool. It's great that Brook's a returning student, I think she was more comfortable with the idea this time around. Also she has Mrs. Shelley this year which is wonderful since she was the sub for Mrs. Shaw last year, so they are well acquainted with each other. Brook is excited now and can't wait for monday, and I have to say neither can I! :P
I guess summer is officially over.
