never a dull moment...

ok, maybe that's not true, but this past week has been filled with some "interesting" and fun events.

the interesting event is that kial dyed her hair bright pink (with her aunt juju's help). she'd been begging us to do it for months but both jas and i were reluctant to let her because her hair was in such great shape from last year when she shaved it. that being said we did let her shave it last summer so how could we really say no? it's just hair after all, it will grow out again.
back to school is always highly anticipated around here. all the kids want to get back to the social network that school tends to be.

cebastian is now a junior at nathan hale.
there are 4 cousins going to summit this year.
adam & kial are 8th graders. this is the last year they will be at summit.
malieo & delaney are in 3rd grade.
mataio is in 1st grade.
grant is going to shoreline preschool as a real preschool kid this year and not in the daycare.
malakai is also going to be starting preschool, but i didn't get a picture of him since he hasn't started yet.my oldest nephew adam is turning 14 on wednesday, sept 10 so i took him out shopping on saturday to pick out his presents. he chose to go to barnes and noble. adam loves to read and that just makes me SO happy. we had so much fun picking out 5 new books for him and razzing kial because she hates reading as much as we love it.last but not least i got to spend a fun evening with some wonderful women to celebrate amy's birthday. we had yummy indian food at cafe india. the food was all delicious except for some scary nan we got accidently that was filled with raisins and almonds. after that amy, kelly, their mom linda and i went to see mama mia (it was my 3rd time and i swear it just keeps geting better)and then amy, kelly and i had dessert at the claim jumper. it was so much fun! amy's real birthday is monday so be sure to tell her happy birthday of you get a chance!

Sounds like the school year busy life is among your family. Love all your pictures, and how fun that your kids have cousins to share their ages with.

Sounds like Amy's b-day celebration was a blast. So, Amy if you're reading this, Happy Birthday!

Kial must have a very adventurous spirit! She looks good in pink :)
And I noticed your nephew had chosen Inkheart and Inkspell... you probably already know this, but I just found out that Inkdeath will be out October 5th! Finally!
And it looks like you had a great time celebrating Amy's birthday. Those desserts look amazing - Happy Birthday, Amy!
