We're baaaaack! I was wavering for a couple weeks there, I'm not going to lie, I mean how long can I really keep at this blog?! Until one of my good buddies Rachel Sievers reminded me of why I keep this chronicle going in the first place. It's special to us to keep a log of what happens to Ada and Will month by month, to slow down time a bit, so in the rush of all the day to day, blurring together, we can look back and remember all the little moments and milestones that make up our happy life. Like the above Sunday, sunshiny picnic at the park, just the four of us. It's gratitude. Which makes all this not just special, but important. So, how long can I keep at it? I guess that means forever. :) Also, I don't scrap book, journal, photo album, so A & W this is the best you get from your scatterbrained mama.

| Camping weekend to Prescott with the goofball Doneski's on "Uncle" Steve's birthday to escape the September desert heat. Camping gets more and more fun the older these guys get. Here we're exploring with our cameras, nets, buckets. Looks like Leah caught a water bottle. |
 |
| Saturday morning bouquet picking in our pajamas. Cutey freckle face Sofia. Who, officially, is the only kid who smiles for my pictures. |
 |
| For mama. From my sweet boy. |
 |
| Ada was the seed, nut gatherer. |
 |
| Girls just wanna have fun. |
 |
| Boy on a mission. |
 |
| Writing our name in the sand. This is happy Ada quick erasing it before mom can get a picture. Charmer. |
 |
| Hiking. |
 |
| Making a wish. |
 |
| What camping trip would be complete without pizza and ICE CREAM?! |
 |
| We needed raincoats. This doesn't happen often to us. |
 |
| Morning yawns on way to the potty. |
 |
| Will wrapped up some things for Grandpa. |
 |
| Ada learned how to wink this month. |
 |
| Getting better... |
 |
| Now we got it! |
 |
| Our favorite restaurant dates, Tia and Uncle AJ. |
 |
| Girls morning with mom and Dana at a kid consignment shop. Uh-oh she has her own cart! Scary how much she loves to shop! |
 |
| Will scored some new clubs from Tony. I believe this is Ninja pose. |
 |
| Tongue and ...pout? |
 |
| Ada left this secret shell face for Grandma Cindy on her bedside shelf. Sneaky sweetie. |
 |
| Dad and kids mastering the grilled pizza by September. Ask them what their favorite food is this month, however, and Ada will say Ratatouille and Will, rice and beans. |
 |
| Couple play dates with a school buddy Gia this month. Here we ran into her family at the zoo! In AZ we wear swimsuits at the zoo in September to take frequent breaks from the still 100 degrees in the spread out splash pads the zoo has running. |
 |
| Buddies hand in hand. |
 |
| We also met Gia and company at a tumble gym for open gym to play on all the gymnastic equipment. |
 |
| Will loved the jumping pits. |
 |
| Ada just may be our little tumbler. Shes getting some mad cartwheel and handstand skills. |
 |
| Monkey girls swinging. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| People drawings! I cannot get enough of these guys! I wish I could remember more about what is happening in this one. Im quite sure the longest one is a dad. I think then the squatty, spiky hair head to the left is a mama. And the little nugget a baby. |
 |
| Breaking out the bikes, in for their "tune up", aka fixed tire explosion. Will found a fluorescent green bike, and believes very much that it should be his. This was a mandatory picture, at Will's request, so that I would remember which bike to get him. Clearly an upgrade from their wooden scuuts :) |
 |
| Goofy chili faces--from our garden! |
 |
| Sleeping angels. |
