Big first day of Kinder

Campbell's first day of kinder coincided with his 5th birthday this year. Big day! He was so nervous... packed his (awesome cape-included superhero--thanks, NanaB!) backpack a good week before, asking anyone who would respond all about Kindergarten.. overheard telling Jadyn (who had yet to start school)... "J, you know, Kindergarten is a pretty big deal"

and already wilting from the heat-wave, we said goodbye for the (whole 3.5 hours) day..

first haircut

just came across this pic from over a month ago.. Leo already shaggy again, but still verging on girlie looking with those bangs and curls.  little diablo.

George O'Keefe and brother...

Costco has their costumes out...

sooo that means... dress up time at the Heits... ummm. Scooting Power Ranger on the loose.

Sunriver 2012

Adventures in Central Oregon.. rafting (this taken right before I lost my oar, and made this sweet dear child paddle me the entire way..she was so loving it... haa)

Ran across a vintage airshow on an early morning bike ride.... future pilots here...

The newly engaged!! Welcome the Bunch, Taylor!

Even the Dulce de leche churro cupcakes and pinata for the Team Heit Southwestern night didn't win us the golden spoon. Another year jilted! We did walk away with the Golden Twinkie, though...

Summer beach days

Eating sand, surfing, swimming, splashing, tea partying, laughing, napping.. we have spent some quality time soaking up summer days on the shore this summer..

More Leo,

and the must have pic of "baby in Justin's sailor suit"
