At the beginning of August we went on a vacation to Ruidoso, New Mexico. We enjoyed the cooler temps and checked out Carlsbad Caverns along the way. While in Ruidoso we hiked, went horseback riding, checked out White Sands and went sledding down the dunes. It was also treat to have grandparents come along with us.

Back to School
Makena's first day of School (just Preschool, but still very exciting!) She flew out of bed and even helped pack her lunch. Let's hope all this enthusiasm continues.
I forgot to take pictures in her classroom, but will get them soon.

Beach Trip
A few weeks ago, we took a long weekend to go to Port Aransas. Neither of our kids had been to a real beach before, unless you count Volente Beach at Lake Travis. Marshall loved the beach, he especially wanted to taste everything there. Makena was happy staying near the car and as far away from the water as possible. She was worried about sharks and catfish getting her. We didn't run into any catfish, but we did see a couple of dolphins/porpoises (not really sure which one) jumping out of the water right past the waves.
Taste testing the sand for us. |

This is where Makena wanted to stay, right next to the car. |

We had to get our picture by the mermaid. |
This is great beach hair and lots of fun to get all the tangles out. |

The Boy Loves His Cake
Marshall is my little cake monster. I have never seen a little one actually EAT all the cake and most of the icing like this little guy. He also LOVED it and points to baked goods in the grocery store now. There is no hiding the good stuff from him anymore!

Kiddie Acres
In July, my parents, Anna (my niece), and Amanda came to visit. We took the kids to Kiddie Acres. We had been wanting to go check it out for awhile. It had all the old classic kiddie rides and was nice and shaded. The girls loved it and it was perfect for them. They both actually rode a pony for the first time.
