First Day of School

Today was my first day back at my preschool and it was a good day!

I got to see my favorite teachers and friends from last year and I said "bye-bye Mommy" with no trouble. I wasn't quite ready to go potty there (sometimes new potties make me nervous) but I told Valerie that I would "Go pee at home" and I did:) It was a good day.

Wow! It is already September!!!!! I cannot believe how quickly this summer has flown by. I have been a terrible, terrible blogger but my excuse is that I have had a summer packed full of fun with friends and family. Here are some highlights of my wonderful summer, in no particular order.....

Discovering that having my hair washed isn't so bad when Mom uses the blow dryer on it!

The Salem Art Fair!

Grandpa's birthday party!

Watermelon!!!!

My crazy parents:)

Four nights at Black Butte and stopping at Suttle Lake.

My cousins (well they are the son's of my dad's cousin, so maybe third cousins?) Dylan and Owen came for a quick visit from California and they were AWESOME!

Kissing Cousins:)

Fresh corn on the cob and Grandpa and Grammy Steph's house.

Silly Isaac and Daddy.

Silly Mommy and Daddy:)

Play dates with my super fun friends, Charlie and Ella!

Reading my new Arthur book, everywhere! (notice that I am always "reading" the same page:)

Beach time with Eliana!!!!!

Happy Birthday Grandpa Jim!!!!!

I love you and hope you have a wonderful birthday!!!!!!

Back Seat Driver

We went to Black Butte last week (I will post more about that later, it was super fun:) which is about 2 hours away from here. I am used to car rides, the beach house is 2 hours away as well, and I am pretty happy sitting back and relaxing with a video and snacks. Mom is not so relaxed in the car, much to Dad's dismay. A car ride with Mom and Dad includes many speed limit reminders, little gasps and calls of "Be careful, Brandon!". So no one should be surprised when, while on our drive to Black Butte, I have taken to calling out "Careful, Brandon, slow down!!". Lucky, lucky, Daddy to have not one but two backseat drivers.
