"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow, what a ride!'"

Family Fun!

It was sooooooooooooo much fun to have Meg and Aaron and Linnie and Jake with their kids, come for a visit! We missed Geoff, Lonnie and Elise, but we're looking forward to a good visit with them in a couple weeks. Meg and Aaron are officially in South Africa now having the time of their lives! I'm so happy for your guys. Thanks for giving us a reason to get together!



Here we are after reaching our "summit" on a hike up Roxyanne.


On our way back down...


Our girls have been begging to go camping again, so we decided to take them "camping" at Gram and Papa's house! It's so nice that they still think this is camping. In a year or two we won't be able to get away with this anymore! :)


Kate in her 80's punk rocker outfit. She insisted that she was a princess--NOT Cindy Lauper.

Collecting Rocks in her princess dress....that's so Kate!





Sweet little Taylor May! I sure love this girl! I called her Bob, or Fred, or George the entire trip and she would look at me with a big grin and say "nooooooo....I'm Taylor May!!!!"



Linnie is such a great mom and Gav is a DOLL!

Love that little two toothed grin!

We never had to wonder where Kate was the entire week. She was wherever the puppies were. Without fail we would find her with the puppies!


Little Haylee Bug...such a crack up! This grass was sooo cool, she just had to show it to me.


Ava Jane is a true princess. She is so adorable! My girls always ask me to make their hair look like Ava Jane's hair. Sorry girls...

We brought our patio fire pit down for the week. It was so much fun to make smores every night and just hang out in the backyard. We had perfect weather...not too hot, but warm enough to play outside in the little pool during the day and hang out on the porch each evening.








Cader is such a great example to his younger cousins! He plays with them and teaches them how to do things. What a kid! He was an expert marshmallow roaster!


At Gram's house the kids get ice cream at all different hours of the day! This time was especially cool because Aunt Deedsie taught us all how to make ice cream in a bag. Gram and I even made some with Soy milk. It was actually really good!

I just wish each picture had a comment section. These are such cute kids and you do a great job of capturing their personalities!

Taylor's eyes are beautiful, Lindsey looks gorgeous in the picture with her and Gavin, Kate totally looks like Cindy Lauper, and I love Cade's serious roasting face with marshmallow all around his mouth.

I love my family!
