Tooth Fairy

Sami is thrilled to have a visit from the tooth fairy, FINALLY! Her front permanent teeth were coming in behind her baby teeth. They were not getting loose on their own, so with a little help from Dr. Dad they were taken care of. She was even more excited when the tooth fairy left more money because they had to be pulled out!

San Francisco

Matt had a dental conference in San Francisco last weekend. He was taking his assistant with him, and so I needed to go to keep things kosher! We flew my mom in and we set out on the 3 hour drive. Matt was going to be in classes all weekend and I was going to be on my own. Yea for me, my good friend Kelly from Henderson decided to fly up and spend the weekend with me. I was so excited. It was a perfect girls weekend. Matt was able to meet us for dinner and walk around at night.

Kelly and I had an amazing time! We spent a lot of time walking, talking and catching up. When ever we get back together it seems as if we were never apart. We went to the Fisherman's Warf, Lombard Street, Ghirardelli square, rode the trolley, was squashed on a bus in China Town with about 100 Asian people and rode bikes across the Golden Gate Bridge (which was AMAZING!)

We ate a lot of good food and had a great time just catching up. Matt said he was bummed that he did not get to see more of the city. I guess we will need to take another trip!

I was the designated map reader of our duo!

Labor Day

This Labor Day we decided to take one last beach trip to Lake Tahoe. The morning started out a little cold (we were in jackets) but warmed up nicely. We spent the day with some good friends and had a lot of fun. We rented a kayak, paddle board and a paddle boat. We love Lake Tahoe and especially love that it is close to home!

Austin's Life

Austin earned his Life rank advancement this summer. He is now just waiting his 6 months, and needs to complete his project in order to get his Eagle. It seems to help a ton that Matt is his Scoutmaster!

1st Day of School

This school year is monumental in the Schofield home. We now have all four in school, (if we are counting pre-school and I certainly am!) Austin started 7th grade at Carson Middle School, Easton started 4th, Sami 1st and is now in all day (YEA for mom and her) at Bordewich Bray, and Ava finally decided that pre-school is not so bad at Small Blessings Christian School!

Except for Ava, everyone is now in a uniform for school. Much to my dismay! We do try to add a small fashion flair to Sami's boring polo's!

Hogle Zoo

While in Utah this summer we visited the Hogle Zoo with Grandma Marsha, Stephanie and Kambree. The boys were less than thrilled to go, but ended up having more fun than they thought they would. The new baby elephant was so cute! The zoo is much better than I remember from when I was younger.
