As much as I love to see the sheer happiness across my boy’s faces, what I really love about this wrestling match is that Scout asked Dash if he wanted to learn some wrestling moves.
And like a good big brother should, he talked him through things, and helped Dash know good moves on his end.
It was one of those perfect moments.

Dash In Costume

Our costume has been raided a lot lately.
Mostly, by Dash.

Some get-ups are rough and tough and manly.

Others are the opposite.

It might be a titch early, but my girl is HAPPY!
We both love just looking at each other during our millions of drives to and from school.
And then we dance!

Motherly

I have never seen a little girl with such a motherly touch as Navy does.
(OK…maybe Ka had it as much.)
This girl is like Pippi’s second mother.
She is amazingly good with her, and Pippi just rolls with it all.

See what I mean!

Pippi Eats

Pippi has two current favorite meals.

Nonnie’s cereal milk that she tries to hide from Pippi.
But that mighty mini has a nose for that milk.

And then Pippi throws huge fits when it is gone.

Her next favorite….the “sammy” as Dash and I like to call it.
(Navy hates the word “sammy” and corrects us every time.  And as a sidenote: I believe it is originally a Nonnie word.)
Pippi digs the PB&J with a glass of whole milk.

Yahtzee

There is nothing quite like a game night.
Especially when all but one of us was able to participate.

Sea Glass Gifting

Something that makes me really proud of my kids is when they are generous with their stuff.
Scout and Navy looked for hours and hours for sea glass while we were in Mexico.  I can see how they are their treasures — and rightfully so.  But when we got home, Scout packaged every single piece of his, and Navy packaged about 98% of hers, and they sent in on to the original sea glass lover.

We hope you enjoy their loot Bella!

Blueberries

I guess an addiction to blueberries isn’t a bad thing.

Navy’s First Soccer Game

On quite possibly, the hottest day of the year…

This girl…
img_5542-2014-09-13-at-12-35-54.jpg
…was coached by a great guy…
and she made a goal!
img_5541-2014-09-13-at-12-34-06.jpg
All while this sweet thing cheered her on.
Or more like, zoned out due to the heat.

Whoops

I wasn’t sure what he was trying to see.

Until he stood up.
