Sara As Hannah!

Hannah Montana!

So my mother bought the kids ticktes to see Hannah Montana! They had so much fun. Sara wanted to dress like Hannah. She's gonna be Hannah for halloween!

Carving Pumpkins!

So we carved pumpkins on Saturday. As you tell from Jordans face he enjoys digging out the pumkins.:) Jordan actully did his own pumkin this year. Sara and i did hers and then they carved one for Nathan. After we were done Jordan lost another tooth. This time it was his front top one. Keep in mind he didn't lose any teeth until this past June. Marks mother is the tooth puller in the family. She's quite good at it. My mother told the boy she wishes she was here , tooth pulling and pumpkin gutting are 2 of her favorite things. You can just imagine my childhood......:)

Cousins

The kids had a ball this summer when Morgan and Jonathan were here. We really wish it was under different circumstances that they could all be together. They all got along really well. Its funny how different all four are but they were all so close and couldn't get enough of each other. Morgan is such a little princess, she's all girl. Sara likes the girl stuff but sometimes we think she wishes she was a a boy! Jonathan is ALL boy. The kid is a riot! He comes out with the funniest stuff, he thinks very quick on his feet and always has a comeback that beats anything you say to him. Jordan loves the boy stuff and is growing out of the drama stage. that kid came be so dramatic when he wants. Jonathan loves Jordan and Jordan loves having someone look up to him. This is one of my favorite pics of jonathan, under the table at grandmas birthday party taking pictures thank goodness no one had a skirt on. the kid is one of kind and we love him to pieces!

My dad!

New York Trip!

On the Road again! We drove across country again this year. The kids were so good in the car. Sara vomitted before we even reached Evanston. The road was very windy and her seat was lower this year and she couldn;t see out the window. Jordan never stopped playing his game boy as she was puking just leaned away from her. At least she made it into a bag.

We stopped in Council bluffs Iowa and some little town right inside Ny to sleep. We Went to New Hampshire first and spent the night. The kids were so excited to see the ocean. They both had fun swimming until they got knocked over by a wave and got a mouthful of salt. Thats was it for them , they made sand castles for the rest of the day! Mark was the biggest kid. The kids were ok to leave. They knew we were headed to Grandma Barbs. Mark was the one who didn't want to leave!

We got to my moms on July 3rd. We were all exhausted by the time we got there. On the 4th it poured so bad that they canceled all fireworks. We went to Joe and Barbs for a bbq and the kids played with baby Lily. Well Jordan followed Uncle Joe everywhere!

On the 5th We went to the Great escape. Joe and Lily came with us. We of course brought Krissy. We didn't go anywhere without our babysitter. She worked very cheap! :) The kids love going there and its one place we will go every year. i dont see what all the hype is but its something they enjoy. We stayed all day and we were all smelly and exhausted by nighttime.

We had a memorial for Nathan on Friday the 6th. Don spoke and said alot of things that helped.

Lexy we love and miss you baby girl!
