Mary joined an all girl's team with her cousin Annie this season. It was very exciting because the team was, well amazing! The coaches were serious about these girls and at times it reminded me of an intense high school team. We are so grateful Mary had an opportunity like this and that she learned how to chest bump, a very important skill.
We joined Noah on his class field trip to the pumpkin patch today. Cameron couldn't stay away from the goats.
Here are some pictures from Noah's fifth birthday party. It was sports themed and we had a BALL with all his friends!
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.
