The Phillips

We celebrated Nathan's birthday this past weekend with dinner and the Tacoma Symphony with our dear friends James and Lisa Miller!

Who got the birthday cake? Haha, yes it says Boo, but it was SO good! :)

I went to a pumpkin patch with a group of ladies I have met through MOPS. What a beautiful, FUN day we all had together!! Bring on Fall!!

Here is a group shot!

Bowling

Water fun!

My precious girls!!

they loved this truck :)

I went to Charleston, SC the first weekend in October to be in a friend's wedding! I was sooo excited to go back to one of my home towns and see friends. I was hoping to hit up some of my favorite restaurants and shops, but it ended up being much busier than I had anticipated! I am just thankful I got to spend a little time with some of my very special friends from Charleston!!!! I miss them all so much!!!

Me and Sheree

Sheree came from Tampa to meet me in Jacksonville, FL for a day of shopping on my way back home.

I got to hang out with the fantastic photographers from the wedding!

Me, Christina and Andrea after the wedding.

Christina and I took a break at the end of the wedding :)

Elisabeth, the bride, and I before the wedding!

I was able to have dinner and stay with my friend Michelle one night while I was in town!

Right before Carley's second birthday she got her first haircut!!! She was so cute and really felt special!

Checking out her big girl haircut!

Elizabeth started her first day of Kindergarten on September 6th! She absolutely loves every minute that she is at her new school! It is so hard to see her ride off on the bus in the morning, but then when I meet her at the bus drop off she is smiling so big and can't wait to tell me all about her day.

We have been so fortunate to have some wonderful neighbors!! We love living in Gig Harbor, and especially in our neighborhood! We actually try to hang out quite a bit as a big group, and all the kids seem to get along so well!!!

Here is a group shot from Labor Day! We are missing some of the neighbors, but this is a good representation of how fun it is when we get together...even the dogs :)

Elizabeth and Carley are still finishing the last of the popsicles in September :) It was still very warm at the beginning of September, but has really cooled off for fall now!
Lisa and I hang out several times a week while the kids have a great time playing!!
