Summer of Swimming...

We did a lot of swimming this summer and spent a lot of time with cousins!

Ethan learned to dive and went off the high dive for the first time.

Cousin McKenzie made a slip and slide and entertained the crew. (Ryan, Ireland, Ethan, Cy and Elle)

Love this picture of Caleb and Ethan

The crew plus cousin EmmaIreland and cousin Avery

Mini???

We went to Iceberg for a shake at Ireland's request. I ordered 2 mini shakes for the 4 kids to split. (Ryan and Caleb are usually good with just a few bites of ice cream.) Here's the mini size... I said to the cashier, "Are you sure these are minis??"... Yes, he was sure.

Notice how you can barely see Ethan around the "mini" shake. Is it a wonder many Americans are fat??

20 Year High School Reunions

Yes we are 38 years old! I can't hardly believe it! I still feel like I'm 20 something! We had a great time at my reunion. Here are my friends from high school that I still see regularly. Don't they all look great? I was impressed that most people looked pretty good and have aged nicely.In the picture above...me, Shalmarie, Laura, Tricia, Heidi and Nicki

The next night we went to Scott's 20 year reunion. It was a lot of fun too. Pictured above is Scott's long time friend who lived right across the street, Dorian (and wife Stephanie) and another long time friend, Dave and his wife.

Here are some of Scott's friends. I think they went to school together from elementary on.


We finally purchased a house!!

Here is Scott and my mom (our realtor) at the house we are closing on in 2 weeks. Let's hope all goes well. We haven't had the best of luck with the house hunt, but after 10 offers and several months of looking, we finally found the house we love.
