Banks Family: September 2009

OUR "BABY DOLL" KALI

The kids love to dress Kali up. The kids love it when it is their day to pick Kali's clothes. Kali is a pretty good sport most of the time being the "baby doll".

BRYNN'S FIRST SOCCER GAME

Brynn's first soccer game was right after Aubrey's party. So Brett took Brynn to the game early and Aubrey and I met them at the game. Brynn is the girl in the picture just standing there. She hasn't quite goten into soccer quite yet, but I am hoping with time and practice she will get into it more. She had a hard time with the fact that Aubrey went to a princess party while she was at a soccer game, but Aubrey was nice and shared her new hat with her.

AUBREY'S "GIRL" PARTY

Aubrey went to the cutest princess party on Saturday. They girls wore pink gloves, and made hats, necklaces, colored paper dolls, and had a little tea party at the end. Aubrey was in pure heaven.

LABOR DAY

On Labor Day we went to the Del Mar beach with the Mathews and Williams for a little surfing, boogie boarding, and a picnic. It was nice and relaxing. There is just something about being at the beach that is soothing to the soul. It is especially nice when you are surounded by good friends. We always love living next to with the Mathews and now the Williams again, both were our good friends from Phoenix and now we all live here.

FAMILY FUN BEACH DAY

The kids had so much fun with their aunts and uncles at the beach. It was so fun having my family come down and spend time with us after Kali was born.

KALI'S ONE WEEK BIRTHDAY BASH AT THE BEACH!

We thought it was fitting that she got use to the beach since part of her name sake comes from being born in "Kalifornia".

MY MOM'S VISIT

My Mother came out to help out after Kali was born for 10 days. It was the best gift. She helped with the kids, made yummy food, cleaned my house, and most of all she was a friend to talk to. The day before she left we celebrated her 55th birthday. My Dad, Kelsi, Shane,Daniel, Kylie, and Justin came for the celebration. It was a fun time. I am so grateful and thankful for my wonderful beautiful mom. She has always been one of my greatest blessings.

BRAYDEN STARTS KINDERMUSIK

He LOVES it. He get so into it. It is so fun to watch him dance and get so excited.

AUBREY'S FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL

KALI AND DANIEL'S BIRTHDAY PARTY!

We celebrated Daniel and Kali's birthday the day Kali and I came home from the hospital. My brother Daniel and his wife Kylie and friend Justin came out and stayed with us for a few days on their move to LA to start dental school at UCLA.
