Grammie and Papa Steve flew out for a visit. We drove to the beach and hit the sand, walked the Redwoods, and enjoyed one another. The weather was gorgeous. On our way home we went to Mary and Noah's soccer games. We had a great time.
Our first annual Back to School Dinner went off great. Our theme for this year is Be Kind. Mary and Noah are prepped and ready for a new year of learning.
We decided to try camping just as a family this weekend. Things didn't go as planned. We had a late start trying to pack everything, the camp grounds we went to were full upon arrival, and we had a major bike crash along the bike trail...so we hopped in the car drove the twenty minutes back home and camped in our yard. It was probably a lot more convenient and comfortable. Plus, Cameron could sleep in his crib and when Nikki awoke in the middle of the night we went inside and snuggled up in my warm bed for a restful sleep.
This summer we celebrated Steve's 70th birthday at the new Heber cabin. It was a beautiful event and so nice seeing all the loved family and friends we hadn't seen for some time. The decorations, program, band, food, favors, displays..all of it was so amazing and made for a very memorable Nadauld celebration.

Here's Noah's first time playing kinder soccer and he loved it. He was pretty good, especially considering the fact that he was too young to really be on the team.
The kids came up to me and told me there was a cow on our grass. Seriously! There were two in fact that broke through the fence, trampled our newly planted trees, and were a pain to coral back home. Thanks to the help of our neighbors, the Whites, I could stay in the house with the kids as they shooed them to their side of the fence. Crazy!
