Back on the Air

We FINALLY got high speed out here on the prairie. So I can once again blog and share our life with family and friends. Alot has happened in the last 6 mons. Meagan turned Sweet 16, and is now driving! We went on a wonderful family vacation to Colorado, Summer turned 1, Justus turned 11, we had a "Cousins Camp" with Jessi's family, and did all kinds of fun, outdoorsy things, and a few weeks ago my sister, Christina and her husband Jesus, welcomed their first biological child into the world, little Bella Elizabeth! The year, so far, has been good to us, I look forward to the rest of '09.

Summer Turns 1

Baby Summer turned 1 on June 30th. It's sooo hard to believe. i'm getting to be old-because I can honestly say now that time really flies by. We had a fun week with little Summer, on the day of her birthday she enjoyed a piece of juicy watermelon on the front porch, the next day I brought the kids to a spray park-it was Summer's first time. Once she figured out the water wasn't going to hurt her-she just loved it! Then 2 days after her birthday we had a "Cupcake" Party for her. Meagan & Allison made all the cupcakes-they did a great job, they looked professional. We made fruit kabobs, smashed a cupcake pinata, then had cupcakes and gifts. It was a great day!

Fun and Thrills in Colorado!

We spent a week in Colorado Springs with DJ and Vanessa. We had a superb time. Focus on the Family, Whit's End, 2 Whitewater Rafting trips, and a Family Float that even Summer got to participate in, were some of the activities for the week. If you've never tried whitewater-ya gotta try it!
