Summer Moments

Catch-up time again...

We celebrated July 4th at Mike & Carol's.   All decked out in red, white, & blue!

Jon and Scott started a new hobby.  After much thought and toil, they found a way to load the gator in the back of the truck and took it to some off road parks.  Jon said they got a few looks when they came driving down the interstate with a gator in the bed of the pick-up.  Where there's a will, there's a way!

Scott is really into gators and can tell you all about them.  In fact, they just came out with the latest model a couple of days ago, and Scott immediately wanted to print the picture and specs to hang on his door. 

He thinks we need a four seated gator so more family members can come along, but I'm fine with the two-seater.  Shucks, I'll have to sit this one out!:) 

Natalie had a special day at the zoo with Grandpa & Grandma and LOVED the extra attention!

 Kate and her pink boots!  They're certainly a fave, and she's been told quite a few times when getting ready to leave the house to go back in and change out of her pink boots.  She would wear them everywhere if we let her!   

 Crazy girls!!

An engineer in our future???  Not if you ask Scott.  He told the doctor this year at his well check that he wants to be a farmer AND a dog breeder.  Scott was (to quote the doctor) "way off the chart" for his height.  He continues to shoot up and is now 5' tall at 10 years old!

Natalie & Kate still love to be matching.  On this particular day, they really got into it and were trying to color a picture exactly the same. 

Kate had an arm injury fiasco over the summer.  She was trying to do an obstacle course, tripped over a cone, and hurt her arm.  We went for two different sets of x-rays and to the doctor, all to find out that it wasn't actually broken.  It was pretty painful for her though, and she was pretty cute in her oversized sling!
