Tuckered out after his party 

Uncle Jasun came to visit for a week of fun here he is at Red Rocks with Lauren and the kids 

September was sooo busy and sooo fun. I've been coaching freshman Volleyball at Valor which means Aaron comes home from work and I run over to Valor to coach or run off to a game. It's been a great season and I really love my girls. Tally's in Ballet, Aricin is in Soccer, and Oliver is offiically one and walking. We've enjoyed our small group at our house on Wednesday nights and getting to know some super fun couples. We got to go to the Martinet Family reunion in September in Huntington Beach which was AWESOME! it was so good to eat gumbo, see family, and head to Newport with the kids. We even got to do some paddleboarding at Malibu before we flew out. My little bro, Jasun also came out for a week and was such a great assistant volleyball coach- he brought some fun new ideas for drills i hadn't seen before and the girls really responded to him. Oh yeah i also started a travel blog...

This pic was taken right after we almost lost Jeremiah. He jumped in the river and got swept about 50 yards down by the quick current some how he got out- i thought he was done.

August was a great month. The kids were dedicated at church, my good friend Tena flew out for a very full weekend of biking, work outs, volleyball, tennis, and parties. We had lots of fun playdates at the pool, museums, and parks. I turned 33 and started coaching the freshman volleyball team again at Valor. So Aaron comes home at 3:30 and i take off to coach for a couple hours while he's on kid duty. Aricin and Talia started Pre-School and Pre-Kindergarten a couple weeks ago and both enjoy their teachers and peers. Aricin just started soccer and Talia continues to do Ballet. Oliver is so close to walking. He walks down the hall holding on to the wall with one hand and climbs anything and everything around. He just got 4 more teeth on top and loves to follow his brother and sister. We went to the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Colorado Springs and also went Camping. Aaron continues to keep crazy busy with school, his PhD, and Impact EdVentures. September will surely be a busy month with Volleyball and life. We're looking forward to flying into southern california in a few days for a family reunion in Huntington Beach. Impact is putting on a 5k Dusk Dash in a few weeks where all runners get glow sticks as it starts as the sun's going down.
