Holy static. Cameron and I made a fort and the blanket was very staticky. We had some good laughs from it. A day at the park, we finally have some nice mornings to enjoy outside. My dad was out for a visit in September. The kids always love to see the grandparents and so do I, of course.

soccer

Cameron has started his first year of soccer. He was very excited to get all of the gear; although, he thought he needed a football helmet. I think he wasn't sure what sport he was playing. He has only had one practice so far and loving it. The first game is scheduled for October 12.

easter came early

We got the kids one of those chalk sprayers. They had a blast with it but it made the ground very slippery. As you can see from Cody he had a wipe out. I am not sure if they got more chalk on the ground or on themselves.

My computer was out of commission for awhile and I am just now updating pictures so enjoy all of the updates. The most recent events with the kids is that Caitlin started walking a few weeks ago. Of course, now she is not walking, she is running everywhere.

movie night

We went over to our friends house for swimming and an outdoor movie. The kids had so much fun, as did mom and dad of course. We love those arizona summer nights.

camp

I had signed Cameron up for a few days at a camp at a place called My Gym. The first day I had to take Cody out of there kicking and screaming so I decided to sign him up to. I didn't know they would take him since he is still in diapers. They had such a great time!!

mud, mud, mud

Caitlin although she wears a lot of pink she definitely loves to get dirty with the boys. the dirtier the better. She was sitting in a bunch of mud and squishing it between her toes.

another dog

I met a girl a few months ago out walking her dog and she was trying to train it she said so that they wouldn't have to get rid of it. I told her that we would take it if she ever had to get rid of it. Well, a couple of months after that she showed up at our door almost in tears reminding me of what I had said. Of course, this was right after we had just gotten the other dog, Larry. We decided to take it and Kris was going to find her a home but we fell in love with her and decided to keep her. She is an absolute perfect dog and Cameron loves her because she is the only dog that we have that plays fetch. Seriously, no more dogs though.

just the kids

What are you doing Cameron???

4th of July

We decided to go to a park for the 4th this year. We were able to see the fireworks without all the noise. As you can see our little petite girl was more concerned with eating all the donuts while her brothers were occupied, you go girl!!

at the movies

We took the boys to see the movie, Ratatouille (or rapapooey as Cody calls it). This was their first movie theatre experience. They both enjoyed it and had a good time but Cody was getting antsy towards the end and wanted to go to the video game store.

yummy spaghetti!

gotta love those spaghetti photos!! Yes, I do strip down the kids before they eat it.

Caitlin turns 1!

It is so hard to believe our little girl turned one. We had a fun time with friends at our house. I think it was 105 out so we had a lot of water activities. Caitlin devoured her cake. She had been watching people eat the good stuff for so long and she finally had her turn. She knew just what to do. It has been a joy to watch her grow this past year, she is such a sweet and loving little girl. We love you Caitlin!

Call us Crazy!!!

We lost one of our dogs almost a year ago. We thought we were crazy to have 3 dogs then but it must be meant to be. We saw this dog leaving one of the petsmart locations last week, Kris and both could not stop thinking about him, but of course we thought we would have to be out of our minds to get another dog. I went and picked him up at the Humane Society today, with 3 kids in tow. The boys love him. He is 6 yrs. old and he looks like our old dog except he is red. He is very sweet, now we have a dog for each of the kids, right? and a cat just to mix things up a bit. Our dogs are: Roxy (the hairy one), Dixie (yellow lab) and now Larry.

swim lessons

Cameron and Cody are taking swim lessons. Cody wasn't to sure at first but now he loves it except for the dunking part. Every morning he is eager to put on his bathing suit. Cameron is doing great also and I'm sure he will be swimming on his own very soon.

Children's Museum

The kids had a fun afternoon at the children's museum. They loved the dinosaurs and the sea life area.
