First Day of School

The girls went back-to-school on Aug 17th. Addison is an 8th grader and Sophia is a 3rd grader this year. This will be the last year they are at the same school together.
Sophia in her classroom on the first day, and yes, those are her classmates. A little bit of a height difference. I wish she would play basketball again.


Pictures with friends outside the classroom, and Dylan.



They were excited to get back and see all their friends. Addison is always so good about getting up in the morning. Sophia is more of a night owl, like her Mom, but she is always ready on time. I'm so glad they are good about that. It makes it much easier to get up and go.


Happy Birthday Addison Taylor!

Addison turned lucky number 13 on Aug 18th. I have an official teenager!
These days she is all about TEXTING on her birthday gift from Chris and Mom - her NV Touch phone, her favorite color is orange, name-brands are important, she is waiting for the New Moon movie to come out, she can't leave the house without make-up on, and the scariest part.....BOYS.


Her ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins with orange frosting, of course.

She had Victoria, Emily and Heather spend the night. Then the next day we all went to Sunsplash in Roseville. Chris stayed home with Dylan. Sophia and I hung out in the wave pool most of the day. And the girls went from waterslide to waterslide all day. We had so much fun in the water....I forgot to take a picture. Ooops.



Blowing out the candles.


The four of them slept outside under the stars in the backyard overnight. We just put a tarp under them so they didn't get soaked. I think she had a good birthday. I just wish I would have taken some water park pictures.

CHP

Chris transferred from Headquarters in Sacramento to the Yuba-Sutter office at the beginning of Aug 2009. He is very happy to be back on the road.




And we are happy he doesn't have to commute anymore. They work 12 hours shifts, which is nice because they have a lot of days off.




Future CHP officer getting his first try at the wheel?
