Last pictures of Summer '08!!

These pictures make me so sad to see summer go! I just got these off my dad's camera. I just love them, especially the one of Karlie eating the popsicle. The picture just totally describes her. She has quite the appetite and loves her sweets just like her mom! I love her so much! She has such a sweet heart but really has been my most challenging child. Some people say it's the red hair!! I guess in this case it's true. She is just so independant. Karlie and Hailie are so cute together. I am so happy to have them as sisters because I didn't have a sister. Although now my sister-in-laws are just as close as real sisters!! I feel so Lucky!!

Coeur d' Alene Trip

Coeur d' Alene Trip '08

This summer we took our vacation in beautiful Coeur d 'Alene, Idaho. For those of you who have never been there, it doesn't seem anything like the Idaho we are used to! It is so pretty! We had fun swimming, paddle boating on the lake, and going to the Silverwood Theme Park. It was so much fun! They had everything for big and little kids. We hope to go again next summer. Hailie was only about 8 months old when we went so my mom watched her at home for us. It made the theme park much easier!! I'm sure she'll love it next year!

A Family of 5

Our family seems to grow every year!! I think you will see by our little children. Braden is 3, Karlie is 2, and Hailie is almost 1! We have so much fun with them. Some days are crazier than others but we know that each one is a blessing! This picture was taken a few months ago but it is one of my favorites!
