August: Summer is almost over! :(




My 30th birthday!!

Gosh, now I feel grown-up! I had such a good day. Mom came up and took me shopping. Thanks Mom! The kids played at my neighbor's house. My good friend took me to lunch! Awesome! And then we went jet-skiing for the evening. Jerek brought dinner up and we ate out at the lake. Such a sweet surprise! Thanks babe! What a good day to turn 30. . . .


Summer: More July

Day at the zoo. Great fun!








Week at cousin camp. We took the kids up to Ross Falls.



Did a little slip n' slide.




Almost all the cousins.


Emmalee and Blake both played soccer all summer. Just once a week, indoor. They were on the same team. It was fun to watch them play. Blake would get bored and start chasing Emmalee around instead of the ball. He'd also pull on her shirt and get her to laugh. Blake scored one goal during the season, and Emmalee scored several. At their last game, which was Wed., we told them if they played really hard we would go out for ice cream afterwords. They did so awesome! Emmalee scored twice and Blake didn't mess around and kicked the ball instead. It was the first game all season that their team won! What a way to finish it up! We went to Delsa's afterwords. It was a ball!


Addi playing in the water. "Fill bucket, dump on head." She sure enjoyed!




Addi with Makinze. They are 3 weeks apart. Their due dates were 1 day apart but Addi decided to come early and Makinze didn't want to leave the womb.


So sweet.

Summer: JuLy

Swim lessons at a neighbors home. So nice to be able to walk to lessons everyday. Blake and Emmalee both learned how to swim. They also got to jump off the diving board. Emmalee can float on her back so well! I think she gets it from her grandma S.
