It's been an extremely busy summer and I haven't blogged in ages so here is a quick catch up! Here are a few of the things we've been up to this summer! We...

...went to the zoo... (I'll blog that one another time!)...
...went to the Mall of America...
...hung out with Dora and Diego (sp??) at the MOA...

...dunked the Mayor! (good job Eric!!)...

...went to (apparently a loud) parade...

...learned how to ride a bike! Eric got on a bike one day and just rode and rode. Didn't have to teach him!...

...hung out with cousins...

...and more cousins....

...and more cousins!...

...And Andy went to Vegas!

We've had a fun filled summer! There are too many pictures to post so this was just an idea of what we've done! Maybe if I get around to it I'll do another post with more pictures! Also, Ryleigh is walking around the furniture and climbs the stairs. Andy has also taught her how to get down the stairs! So now she not only goes up but then slides all the way down! Its so cute!! She is getting so big!! :)

Been DREADING this day for the last 5 years...

Eric has officially started Kindergarten. He had his "first" day yesterday. He only had to go for an hour and we got to go with him. It was 30 minutes with his teacher in their classroom and then 30 minutes for bus safety. Yep, I'm one of those moms that would LOVE to go to school everyday with their child! OK...not really. I just worry about how he is doing. I'm sure it's going to get easier and I'm sure he is having a blast! I can't be there every minute of his life to hold his hand... :( I just wish Kindergarten wasn't ALL day EVERY day.

I took him in to the school and pretty much just handed him over. I think he was scared but I had to let him go so... I can't wait to hear about all the fun things he did today! Do you think he looks scared in the picture below??

Getting ready to walk the block and a 1/2 to school! I must admit living so close to the school has its benefits! :) Such a handsome boy!! :)
