Kinley's Birthday and School Starting

 This month has been busy with Kinley's birthday and school starting!

Found out I got COVID right after we got home from California.

It was definitely worse this time around. I was sick for like 1.5 weeks. 

Felt like I had a sinus infection and did not feel back to normal for a long time. I had a cough that lasted for about a month. The kids all got it too but didn't get too sick. 

Happy Anniversary to me!

Trevor and I celebrated 15 years of marital bliss and he got me real diamond earrings!!

The girls loved their dance camps this summer

They both did a great job!

Kinley's birthday celebrations begin

Trevor and I took Kinley out to a birthday lunch at McDonald's

Bought lip gloss with the Target gift card she got

Helping to make the masterpiece, which was her "cake" this year

Can't believe she's 7 years old!

Minky blanket from Grami!

She snuggles with it every night

From Grandma! This is a super fun idea

For her birthday activity, Kinley wanted us all to tie dye shirts

And we all wore our tie dye shirts also, which was fun

They turned out great!

I bought stuff so we could have a paint night with the kids

They wanted to do fall and Halloween pictures

It was really fun!

Trevor helped Kinley a little bit

I guess we forgot to take pictures of the final products but you can see them here!

They all turned out awesome

We had so much fun swimming this summer!

Tanner and Maddie designed a whole Jungle Cruise around the pool

We got to go to our friend's farm and check it out

Maddie was brave enough to feed the donkeys

First day of school!

First day of middle school for Maddie and so far it is going great!

These two are doing great too!

They have good teachers and some friends in their class

Legos Tanner built

Baby deer in our front yard

I got a job!

I will be an assistant manager at the local gourmet donut shop.

We had never been there before so we went to check it out.

Their donuts are yummy!

Maddie wanted to make a checkerboard cake that they made on The Great Junior Bake Off so we tried it out

Turned out great!
