We started with a short trip to Oklahoma for a family reunion with my mom's side of the family. Grant wasn't able to make it, so the girls and I rode up with my parents. We had a great time with family!
we got packed up the night before and Addie refused to accept the fact that we weren't leaving until the next morning

Emily loves to ride on Papa Joe's scooter!

Emily made best friends with her 2nd cousin, Brittany, while we were there :)
have to swim at the hotel pool ;)
Addie was a bed hog at the hotel
When we got back home it was Grant's birthday. He turned the big 3-0 this year, so we had to do something to make it a little more special than any ordinary birthday. We set up 30 gifts around the house that he had to search for. I think the girls enjoyed it even more than he did ;)
Addie was potty trained in August and she did awesome! She got a family ice cream date for filling out her potty chart and she's now been upgraded to a "big girl" (toddler) bed. It's been so nice for me to have a break from diapers before the new baby comes! Emily didn't potty train until after Addie was born so we had 2 in diapers for a while.
I've already mentioned about Grant's birthday, but my brother, Danny, also turned 30 at the beginning of September. We decided to have a joint little party for the 2 of them midway through the month. It was complete with all of their favorite snacks and treats from growing up.
an ice cream cake for Grant and a cookie cake for Danny
we got that game where you have to wear the mouth piece and say phrases... we were crying from laughter!
Emily started PreK this year (I'm teaching again). It's going really well so far. We have all girls again and they get along really well. It's killing me that this is Emily's last year before kindergarten!!
The month ended with hurricane harvey hitting. Thankfully we all stayed safe and dry. We did stay at my parents' house for several days just because we wanted to make sure we didn't get stuck with no power if we were to lose it. My siblings all stayed there too so we had everyone under one roof for awhile. It was a nice way to ride out the storm.
A few more pictures from August:
she still loves her "snuggle things"
Emily made a hat out of clips!
a new ninja warrior place for kids opened up right by our house. Emily was in heaven!
little miss flexibility!
I have a lot of catching up to do on the blog, including Emily's birthday, so stay tuned for more to come!
