The rest of Summer

The days leading up to school starting went so quick! We got back from Utah on August 7th and then Tuesday August 8th Aubrey got her braces off!

 Her teeth look so beautiful! She had to take a silly picture for her records too..

 Wednesday August 9th I had to work so Nana came down for the day to spoil the kids with some back to school shopping and out to lunch.  Aubrey picked out this very cute outfit.

 Thursday August 10th we decided it was time to update Aubrey's room we were going to paint but then she decided she still loves the pink.  We found this adorable desk and she is in love with her new watermelon bed spread.

 Friday August 11th we went swimming and then that afternoon we had both Ander and Violette over for a play date.  I didn't get a picture of the boys :( Ander ended up having a fever so I had to call his mom to come pick him up but Violette stayed the night.

 Playing with her "singing machine" in her pre-teen room!

 Saturday August 12th we went to Turlock as a family to do some back to school shopping.  It was a first experience in Justice! Aubrey feel in love.  Carter had fun testing out running shoes at Dick's Sporting Goods.  That afternoon we had an early dinner at Olive Garden.  (Man I feel like I only have pictures of Aubrey in this post)

 Sunday August 13th we had church. 

Monday August 14th we worked on a fun project together.  We learned all about our solar system and then made one.  It was such a fun project!!

 and they came out great!!!

 Tuesday August 15th we went to the school to see the class lists.  We already knew Carter had Mrs. Haar since we are family friends with her and she told us over the summer.  But it was still fun to see who his classmates were.  His BBF Cord is in his class this year!!

 Aubrey was on cloud nine to get the teacher she really wanted Mrs. Taylor!! It's going to be a great year!!

 Carter looks too cool for school!

 After class lists we had a picnic McDonald's lunch at the park.

 They had fun playing!

 They are both so good at monkey bars something I could never do!

That night the kids put on our annual back to school fashion show.

 I took more videos then I did pictures.  They are too cute for words!

Then they decided it was time for both of their super lose teeth to come out! Carter was trying to attach his tooth to a string and then a Nerf bullet and shot it out! I have no idea where he got that and Aubrey was trying to eat starburst like crazy.  Well sure enough all they needed was daddy wiggling them and then both were out! It was Carter's 2nd tooth and Aubrey's 10th.  That tooth fairy was busy that night.

 We put together some cute jars with some yummy candy for the teachers and jumped in bed.

Hard to believe Wednesday August 16th was almost here! We had such an amazing summer and we were so lucky to not start school until Wednesday this year it made the transition back into school wonderful.  Thanks summer 2017 for all the fun!
