Summer 2010 - *Pictures Updated*

I actually thought that when school ended last spring that things would slow down. I thought we would be able to enjoy a lazy, un-sheduled summer. Boy was I wrong! If anything, I think this summer has been busier than the school year and I am finding myself looking forward to school starting back up just so we can get back into a normal routine!
But don't get me wrong, even though this summer was busy, but we sure did have a lot of fun :)

Here is a summary of events:

-Lots of fun play dates with good friends including our BFF's Tracy & Nick

-Two Fun Shows with the Oak Grove Youth Rodeo Club




-A Rough Stock Clinic in which kids slopped through lots of rain and mudd to get their chance to ride a steer and/or bull.





-Bethany & Braden came to visit in June which included Braden getting baptized and his 6 months photo shoot.






-A two day Rodeo over Father's day weekend.




-We enjoyed lots of finger-licken, fall off the bone, smoked ribs coutesy of Dennis and his new smoker...mmmmm





-Camping in St. Louis with Rick & Kim, complete with a trip to the STL Zoo and Busch Gardens and the Gateway Arch.





-A date night with my good friend Tracy to see Twilight: Eclipse :)


-Swimming at Lake Paradise!


-The 4-H county fair in Higginsville in July which I was hired to photograph.





-Rescuing a lost turtle in the middle of our busy road and watching the kids follow it around and giggle every time he popped his head out. They even got to hold him before setting him free by the creek bed. (Hollie has since been asking for a pet turtle...greeaaat)





-Bethany's wedding which included about 36 hours of driving in one weekend with both kids (and they did amazingly well! so proud :)
*(I will soon be making a blog entry dedicated just to Bethany's wedding which will contain more photos)






-Painting the dining room blue and brown.




-Getting new furniture FINALLY! including a dining room table, sectional, coffee table, and a bench/coat rack for the entryway.







Obviously I still have some decorating to do, and the top 3 baskets for the entryway unit were missing when they delivered the furniture so we have to go get those sometime. But I'm excited to finally have some nice furniture and some color in the house :)


This saturday I am doing my first Senior picture session, and I have another one next saturday as well.

Phewww..... I think that's most of it anyway.

And Karen, I vow to get back on the blogging wagon and try to keep you up to date! When are you starting yours about motherhood and all things Logan?? :D
