so much fun!

We had a GREAT summer! It is amazing how FAST it flew by!!! We were able to enjoy lots of family time, a few great trips, lots and lots of swimming and... a MOVE! Yep, we made the BIG move, just across the river. We are thrilled to call Vancouver, our new stomping grounds.
 
As summer came to an end, we all geared up for what we knew would be a busy Fall season! And... we were right! Both kiddos are LOVING school. Still hard to believe Jackson has started kindergarten!!! He is doing great. He has made both Brian and I so proud. He has made many new friends, overcome some BIG fears in regards to attending a big elementary school, is on track to becoming a great reader and loves math!
Not only is he doing fantastic in school, he is also showing us what a fabulous athlete he is! He started TBall at the beginning of September. He really seems to love the game of baseball, and works so hard at each and every practice and game! It's amazing to me, when watching him, how much his skills have drastically improved in just a matter of a few weeks.
 
Maggie is attending Pre-K this year. She seems to really enjoy her new school, teacher and is also making many new friends. Her days are a bit shorter at school, than Jackson's. But, I've enjoyed having some one-on-one time with our sweet girl. She loves to read books, play with her babies, paint (or really any type of art... the messier the better!), dance, sing and all things girlie!
She will be continuing with dance class, starting in October.
 
We moved at the beginning of August, and thankfully were still able to head over to Sunriver for a little mini vacay, less than a week after our move.
We, as we do every year, had a WONDERFUL time!
 
Both kiddos took swimming lessons (3x p/week!) all summer ... and were so excited to show off their great swimming skills at the fun pool in Sunriver!
 

We had fun this year in the bouncy houses and riding driving the bumper cars!
 Heading into a maze of bouncy houses!
 
 Jackson cruising down a fun and FAST bouncy house slide!
 Mommy going down the same slide... it was fast!!!

Maggie having fun at the Sunriver Artists Bazaar. She made and brought home a few great works of art!

Little Lady ready to hit the pool!
Jackson is ready to go too!!!
 All ready!

Fun times at Ft. Rock Park... We love that the home we rent in Sunriver is walking distance to such a fun park!
 Faster, Faster, Faster...

More Pool Time... and some pretty cool tricks!

Couldn't resist sharing this great shot of our good friends (Jeff and son, Hayden) going down one of the BIG slides! We were so happy to see them, (along with the rest of their sweet family) and be able to spend a fun afternoon at the pool together!

We've been blessed with amazing weather, lately. Especially for Oregon and this time of year. But... today is the first day that it's really beginning to feel like fall. The temps have dropped, the sky is grey and we've had some rain... I think fall is officially here... to stay.
I'm looking forward to a wonderful fall season, and although it's already shown to be BUSY BUSY BUSY... we are all ready to go!
All our Love. The Weeks Team.
