In preparation for the upcoming school year, with a SENIOR and Sophomore, the girls did a great job getting as much summertime as possible. Lots of friend time, beach time, bay time, and relaxing amongst all the other obligations! With them both being in ASB they got to be involved in Freshman orientation including rallying and dress up days. They both also got class schedules and books. We got TP'd way more than normal, but ok.
They continued to spend time with gym friends heading off to college. Pizzookies, finding random events in Lakewood parking lots on their way to the dollar tree, and sleepovers. Cienna spent time in Laguna, made senior pants, and helped a very successful senior sunrise with friends! In the meantime we also got some new fish.
Mom and Dad also got to invite Roman to go to a Galaxy game with Kristen in the best seats ever on the field. We had such a great time and loved hanging out with Kristen as always.
First day of school. We did pictures in the morning. Was Cienna's last first day of unpaid school. We printed out all of her first day pictures since Kinder. Then took her last one. We also got a picture of Kaylee : ) Cienna then headed off to decorate cars with Senior decor, and show up together at school with their "senior" backpacks.
The rest of the week the girls had a great time together on the field representing ASB at the football game. Together we finished going through the garage in preparation for the remodel. Was actually pretty fun and got to find old stuff we hadn't seen in a while.
A new "family" member also showed up on labor day weekend. We got to meet "Buffy", the Marshall's new Golden Retriever! She is as cute as you could possibly imagine her being. The fam also went cruising on the bay together with the girls on the paddle board and the parents on a blow up boat that they bought well over 20 years ago.
The next weekend Dad brought the girls, with Adi and Evan to cruise Huntington Beach bike path and check out the bands along the way. Mom had a great lunch for Kristen's Baby shower! Evan came the next evening for some Cornhole and hanging out.
The following week, at the last moment, mom went to New York for work. Flew into Rochester on Tues. and out on Wed. but did get up early (3:00am Ca time) to walk the Erie Canal before working the rest of the day and heading home. Meanwhile dad took Cienna to a college fair in Pasadena. The girls celebrated Nicki's 16th birthday in Huntington with lunch at Dukes and shopping!
We've been getting back into the groove of whatever is happening now, and then and always enjoying time we have together and appreciate all that the girls are doing to be them!
