our summer in pics

Rosas big day! Today was Rosas first day of school. It is a 3 day 2 1/2 hour preschool and she loves it. She was very excited to return. She could have gone to kindergarten but we chose to wait one more year to help her come out of her shell a little more. We had to go clothes shopping last night to get some warmer clothes for this odd weather we are having. I cannot believe how big she is, she has even started reading a couple of start to read books. It makes me sad, but excited at the same time. What a wonderful girl she is!

Kids at the lock in at the church building for the teens. We had 23 teens and they all did great. Our kids sleep in Colbys office and once they got to sleep slept till after 8! They were sad when they woke up and realized everyone was gone!

This is our new addition (its not a baby this time) Hershey. He is a great dog, 6 wks, half lab half collie. He is a good dog and great with the kids. BUT they are terrified of him. Colby and I are like two big kids, we love him lots. However the kids have spent the last 4 days screaming on the couch. They wont get out of bed if he is up. We are torn between sadness at their fear and the want to tell them to get over it. We are going to give it a while, but not sure if Hersheys place is very secure yet.

The kids saw the sheet like this and came up with the idea of a puppet show on their own. LTC here we come!

We made a fort in the living room, the kids thought it was a great place to read books and wrestle mom




Rosas wonderland

Thank you Aunt Tracy for the wonderful fairy hideaway!

Colby fell asleep in the chair and Bryant was trying to give him a drink of water

We tie died t-shirts while at Nannys, this is the best pictures we could get of them all together. Ellison cant get away fast enough and Peyson thinks if he hides he will dissapear.

FUN IN THE SUN

Beach Baby!

Sami and Shi came to see us in OK. What beautiful girls they have become. Everytime I see them I am amazed at how wonderful they are.

Peysons true colors!

Noan and Rosa playing Wii, the kids had a good time at Grandmas. They are starting to get old enough to play with their cousins.

Enoch and Logan wrestling, can you believe how Enoch has grown?

While in Texas Logan was suppose to be taking a nap on Grandmas bed, but when I walked in he was about asleep in the bed with Reah. He said "Mom she neede me to get to sleep" what a good brother!

We went on a trip to KC with the youth group and left our kids with my mom for 3 days and suprize! we had a ton of fun. This is a pic of the HUGE slip n slide we used (well I was not brave enough). The more time we spend with the youth group the more I realize how they have grown and changed since we got here. They are a great group!
