Anyway, I was just searching through some pictures from the last year and thought I would post a few of my favorites from this past summer. That way I can feel like I just " caught up " on all the posts that I haven't done. Yeah for Me!!!!
This is a cute photo taken after church one day in June!
Hayden had a nickname going for a while there of " green shovel man" because the child had to be carrying around a plastic green shovel with him at all times. He would eat with it, take a bath with it, sleep with it, carry it in his car seat...you name it. It was kind of sad when the love affair ended.
Rio has really come into her own over the last few months. She is pretty much a tom-boy and wants to do everything the boys do. She even cried when I told her she could not get her hair cut like a boy. She is competitive, driven, and not scared of anything....except blood.....she is addicted to band aids.
The girls started school on July 17th. We are in a year-round school district here. They love going to the bus stop to play with their friends every morning.
We traveled to Washington to attend Talen ( Greg's Sister ) and James wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and so much fun. We danced all night and really had a great time. The girls were her flower girls and Logan was the ring bearer. They stole the show of course!
With some of their cousins at the Marinos family reunion in Colorado! It was a memorable reunion with the stomach flu going around. Rio and Rylee spent their entire 7th birthday laying on the floor in my parents family room surrounded with towels and bowls to throw up in. There were about 53 people at the reunion and about 75 % of us ended up sick. Good times!!
