Major Catch Up!

Clearly my blog time has been pretty much nada these days. For those that actually look at this on a regular basis I am sorry for the very long time without an update. Here is a our summer/fall in a nut shell.

Our goal for this year was to have a year of adventure. To do things that were new as well as stick with traditions from years past. Our summer and fall were so so much fun, and yes full of adventure for both us and the kids. We are thrilled that our kids are getting to the ages to experience all of this with us, and that it is getting easier to travel and do things like this.

Here are a few pics from each Adventure.

There is so much more that we did on a reguar basis, riding bikes, playing with friends, boating etc. We are so very blessed! I will try and post more often so I don't always post these huge long ones.

Better late then never

Here are a few pics of Kaya's kindergarten graduation. Still hard to believe she is going to be a first grader. Everybody is right, they do grow up fast!

And Kasen's last day (of his first year) of preschool. What a little guy he is!





















And the first of many camping trips this summer

Kinley is TWO

I can hardly believe it has been two years since we were blessed with sweet Kinners! Time has FLOWN BY!!! This girl is amazing, she is a goof ball already, super super super active (even puts her sister to shame), busy and tests our every bit of patience we can muster up. Her big brown eyes melt our hearts whenever we look at them. We sure love her a ton, and feel blessed everyday for her! We are excited that our baby is two, we feel like we get to start a new phase of life with kids, not babies. We are excited for all the adventures that come with teaching these three all the fun things we love. I am gonna need some new nieces and/or nephews SOON though, until then I would love to borrow anybodies baby for a few hours, and then give them back and sleep all night long :)...

Here are a few pictures of her celebration...
