August is quickly leaving us...

It's so fun to have changes in seasons and I love to decorate for every season and holiday, its just so much fun. At the same time I like each season to live its full life. I feel like summer has been bombarded with back to school advertisements for 2 Months...Come one. It really puts a damper on it. However, as soon as Sept First arrives I will bust out all my Fall decor. My leaves and scarecrows, spicy scentsy scents and all that great stuff. I am VERY ready to have a routine and have a chance for Vienna to have her social time at pre-school, that she has so desperately missed, for me to spend more 1 on 1 time with my little Linc's man while Everett has his morning nap and to run errands with only 2 kids, instead of 3 (headache just thinking about it. lol) However, we are definitely holding on to summer for as long as we can!
 Oh the love!
 My littlest boy in a big boy booster!
 Such a handsome dude!
 Vienna got to go on a Daddy daughter date and pick out anything from a cupcake store and this is what she picked...she looks happy about it!
 This is a Jerusalem Cricket (aka potato bug) it is about 1.5 inches in length and a cross between a cricket, grasshopper, bee, beetle. It is the weirdest looking thing.
 playing at the park!
 We made banana bread together to give to some neighbors, friends and us. YUM!
 Decorating B-day cards for Willa, J who turned 1
 best buddies. I know Lincoln will miss her while she is at pre-school.

The next few pictures I need to preface...
Here in Pasco, we have to haul our recycling, which is a pain and adds to our daily chores, but I can't bring myself to just throw items away, so we decided to pack into the truck, take the load in and then head to DQ for ice cream. Those kiddos were jammed in the mini second row, as you will see.
loading up...
 Here they are, jammed. too funny! Lincoln was in heaven!
 We decided to be super white trash and eat in the bed of the truck.
 It was such a fun time and great memories were made.
 The whole gang.
 We may have started a new end of summer tradition of getting ice cream, eating in the bed and making an absolute sticky mess of everything and then going through the car wash right after. However, the kids will never get the red,white and blue popsicles again. It will be dilly bars next time or plain old ice cream.

Last but not least, we got to attend Willa's 1st B-day pool party a Beuchler's. It was a blast, complete with a pinata, cake smash and good food!
 It was the never ending pinata, but the kids had fun!

 poor Everett had a fever and wasn't feeling so hot the whole time but was a trooper. Here he is gnawing on a bone from the ribs that were served.
 party hats were enjoyed, as were the noise makers, which will never be at any of my kids parties.
 Vienna with her Grandpa
 Me snuggling my fever bug.
 cake smash time!
 So I forget my swimsuit and because Terry has had her pool for ages she has an entire tote of random swimsuits, so I got to wear the cheetah with the camo. I was hot stuff for sure!
 Pinata time! It was the never ending pinata but the kids had a blast! They were really good at swinging away.

Vienna with the Birthday girl! She sure loves having her cousins close by.
Happy Birthday Willa!
