Count Down ... August 2014

In August, we went to the lake with Dawnya and (some of) her kids.

Playing on the beach.

Claire and her crazy hair.

All four of my kids in the sand/water.

Parker busy making something in the sand.

Is this tube too small?

Bria collecting shells.

Despite this grumpy look, Claire had lots of fun and asks all the time to go back to the beach. Even in the winter when the wind is making it feel like it's minus 22 (like this morning) outside.  We have to tell her the beach is closed.

Brian put the new floor down in my parents' kitchen this summer.  It sure looks great!

While daddy worked on the floor, Bria hung out in the hammock.

...and Claire in the orange car.

Bria also made this cute Lego car while Daddy worked.

County Fair Time!
Dad and Claire wait for the parade to start.


Where's the candy?

YAY! It's a parade!

Claire watching the dancing girls.

We all made it to the rodeo again this year.

And we all stayed the whole time this year, too!

Claire likes her blue cotton candy.

Claire isn't the only one that likes it, either.

Brian and Rebecca. XOXO

Family get together: Let's take a picture. (Jeff is looking at all my gray hair.)

This one is better.

This is what it feels like to have to go home and leave Aunt Brenda.

First Day of the SCHOOL!

Jack's first day of school outfit (modeled the night before school starts)

Bria's first day outfit.

Claire wants a picture too!

Parker's outfit.

Jack on his first day of 3rd grade.

Parker on his first day of 5th grade.

My boys are growing up.

Bria didn't start Kindergarten on the same day, but was up and in her "first day" clothes and backpack, ready for pictures.

Silly boys.

Ready for class.

Ready for his last year of elementary.
