1st Day of School 2012

 This is a reminder that this day is real. We are not up at the crack of dawn for no reason.

Either I am getting older, or I just am not that into anymore but I was racing around this morning looking for water bottles, lunch supplies, etc. I finally got in all together. I sure wasn't that organized!

"Homework is horrible, school is OK"- Ben Kahl 5th grade

"I love school a very much A LOT!"- Gabe Kahl 2nd grade

 Brother love and support! Dad peering out the window!

 Bruiser is making a plan in his head. He is deciding how to torment his mother.

Off they go!

The crew in order according to age.

 Here comes the bus- which was a little earlier than schedule- I hope that is not the case every day!

 I had a moment of sadness as the bus left and I walked into the house. After 5 minutes, I was better!

Last night of Summer Vacation

 Playing Gabe ball

 They toss Gabe back and forth in the water.

Kevin is once again the champion of the big air contest!

Summer 2012

 Gabe played baseball. His first year of Machine Pitch!

Friends came to swim!

Ben mastered the cyocycle!

Gabe lost the infamous teeth. One was named vampire tooth, the other grappling hook. This letter is asking the tooth fairy to leave money but to also leave the teeth!

We swam late into the night. There were some nights we swam until eleven!

 The boys played golf!!

We hung out and relaxed with friends!

We celebrated the fourth of July with a neighborhood bike parade!

A lot of our neighbors participated!

Kevin and Ben rode roller coasters-A LOT!

 They had no fear!

It was a very hot summer, 100 degree temperatures were a daily event!

They camped at the cove!!!

The boys jumped in the pool in their pajamas!

Kevin and Ben went to camp- It was a very hot week!

Gabe was lonely when Ben was gone!

Having friends over helped!

 Kevin and Gabe went to camp- it was very wet!

Ben was lonely when Gabe was gone!!

We squished into this plastic pool which was very funny considering the huge pool right next to it!

Ben earned two belts and a lot of respect!

Gabe bungee jumped!

I was tricked into riding a horrifying wooden roller coaster.  See Ben's evil grin?

Ben broke his first board- with his bare foot!

He was extremely proud!

It was Gabe's turn to break a board- with his hammer!

We relaxed!!!

We went to the zoo!

We enjoyed our friends when they came to visit!

We played inside on rainy days!

 We soaked in every last minute!!!

Now we prepare for a new school year, new adventures, new memories and new fun!!!!- Good Bye summer of 2012
