August and back to school

Before school started we had a big family dinner to celebrate James and say goodbye as he headed off to college in Chicago. Uncle Michael is so great about old school Stover traditions, he brought his ice cream maker they used as kids and everyone took turns sitting on the top and cranking! 
this one always keeps us on our toes
The morning of the kids school orientation we took them to Amazing Jake's (basically an indoor amusement park) to celebrate the upcoming school year.
All three's first day of school 
Scarlett started Kindergarten

 Caroline started third grade
 Cooper started Pre-K
They are ready!

Cooper with our neighbor Hannah
 He's ready! 
 our gym has a climbing wall and the other day I took the kids after I worked out, Caroline and Coop made it all the way to the top! 

Cooper helped me out with a little painting 
 I took the kids to see Shrek at the Theatre, we all loved it.


 our neighbor bought a cool military truck and drove the kids around one night, coolest neighbor ever! 
 the kids had dentist appointments, Scarlett really made the dentist earn his money! 
I went out with my girlfriends for drinks 
 Caroline had a Flat Stanley project, so he spent a little time in Seattle and even went waterskiing! 

 He went tubing too! Thanks Kane's for showing Stanley such a fun time! 
We have been trying to get Scarlett to expand her food options for a while and after putting our foot down she had been spending some extra time at the dinner table each night trying to finish her meal after the rest of us are finished.
