The summer has turned out to be a break from blogging for me. Not like I needed the break..i barely ever posted to begin with. But with a busy summer I got lazy which meant no blogging. I of course still read all of my favorites.
So today I'll be playing catch up with some of our summer happenings.
My mom got married! These are all of her grandkids. It was like pulling teeth to get all the kids in the picture let alone everyone looking at the camera so this is the best we got. Still pretty good for so many kids I say.
Lucas started 2nd grade this year. He sure is growing up way to fast. He is getting so tall. He will surely pass me up in a few years.
Reagan and I at the playground. We love to go and she has so much fun on this slide. 
Reagan started Preschool this year. This has been a little tough on me. I'm not ready for her to grow up. 
We had to bribe Reagan on her first day that she could go feed the ducks if she was a big girl and went to preschool. These duck are fearless and come right up to you for their lunch and if you aren't fast enough we have learned they will just take it from you. Both Reagan and Lucas love the ducks. I guess that's enough for tonight. I'm tired and Chris wants the computer. I think he should have got me a laptop for my birthday and we wouldn't have this problem.
Brandi if you are reading this I need an address for your blog. :)
A couple weeks ago we ventured out to take some family pictures. We were looking for a waterfall, after all it's called Buttermilk Falls. We drove up and down the rocky, bumpy roads but could not for the life of us find it. So we settled for this location. Its so pretty out there.
We parked the car and started to follow the trail carrying our blanket and lunch in a book bag, our camera bag, our tripod bag and sometimes the kids. They were getting tired of slipping and falling on the slimy rocks. 
I think we got some good ones. Chris had set up the tripod and he was the one who would set the timer and run to make it in the picture on time. Quiet funny to see really. He slipped one time and almost took a nosedive but caught himself. We were cracking up. 
Here are my 3 favorite people! I love this picture. After getting some good photos we stopped and ate lunch on a huge rock until the bees got to much and we decided to head home. It turned out to be a great family day. We need to get out and do this every year.
