I have
no idea where the summer went? We had a lot of fun this summer, mostly stuck close to home and played outside with friends. The kids had a blast and I pretty much collapsed into bed at the end of each day--exhausted from the exertion from entertaining three small, busy children. Right before school started we took a last minute trip to OKC to meet up with some of my family, as I had a cousin competing in the AQHA Junior World Championships. We only had one full day there, so that meant a good portion of the 5 days we were gone were spent in the car. The kids did super--we did give them the incentive of hotels with pools for their good behavior--and it worked! On our last night we were blessed to find a BRAND NEW Holiday Inn Express in the middle of
nowhere, Oklahoma. Not kidding, brand new! Love this picture of the kids all sharing a bed!
Sometimes Lance asks one of us to walk on his back, it cracks a lot but he insists that it feels good. I guess on this particular morning one chiropractor was just not enough.
Katie on her first day of 2nd grade. Where does the time go?
Syd & Will on the first day of preschool. Fun times!
Up until this morning, we have had consistently beautiful weather. We didn't have one single day in triple digits this summer, what a nice change! This morning at about 4 am it started to rain. It is still raining and it is only forty degrees outside; it was 75 yesterday. I'm not quite ready for fall...

Our family is blessed to attend the most amazing family camp in the world each summer! Here is our "family portrait," taken on "medieval night." Some lovely ladies in waiting and a knight in shining armor!
Syd not only got to ride a horse, she got to paint one with paints and markers. Patient horse, bewildered children!
