milestones

Each of my kids have reached some milestones recently.....

Gavin not only is riding a bike with no training wheels, and is potty-trained, but he did it all in time to start pre-school. He is the little funny guy at our house. He LOVES preschool, we will see if he starts to care if he learns anything there!


Gage started 1st Grade. I don't think I ever see him anymore.....the minute he gets home he plays with friends until it is time to come home for the night. If he isn't playing with friends, he is playing soccer or karate.



Kennady has had her first haircut. Yes, I cut off her curls......they have come back, but I don't think they will stay for much longer.

Catching up on summer part two.....

I will take me a long time to catch up on summer!!!! Oh well! Here is our trip that we took with Jeff's family in July to the Grand Canyon! What an interesting trip. Jeff lost his wallet, the kids broke our portable DVD player, they dropped and broke my camera, and the A/C in my car has never been the same again. But it was nice to be with family. Here is our trip in pictures.

catching up on summer..

I have a lot of summer catch up to do.....Here are just some crazy pictures we took one day when we were going to make a get well card for great grandma bonnie.




Here is one of our many days at the pool. My kids love the pool!! This year we tried Cowabunga Bay for the first time. I think we will be visiting a lot more! The kids love it!!
