Our good friend Charlotte took these pictures for us. She does an excellent job! Check out her blog at charlottefoerschlerphotography.blogspot.com

Happy 8th Birthday Kelly!

Kelly turned 8 on August 24th. Every other year they get to have a friend party and she chose to have it at the bowling alley.

I cannot believe my biggest baby is 8. Times sure flies when having!

First Day of School

The first day of school is always so much fun! They look adorable and are so excited.

Camille started preschool. She goes in the afternoon and so far seems to really like it. How did she get so big?

McKenna is in 1st grade and goes to school all day now. She is still into the dresses and skirts!! So cute! How did she get so big?! We live really close to the school so the girls have been walking with our neighbor.

Kelly started 3rd grade ON her birthday! She is officially 8 now! Her shirt says "Birthday Girl".
Once again...How did she get SO big?!!

The best kept secret- Benihana Birthday

So I know these pictures look the same but in the second one Cory looks like he is too cool for me so I told him I had to post both.

A friend of mine let us in on a big secret. Just go to Benihana.com and sign up for their Birthday Club. On the first day of your birthday month they will email you a $30 dollar gift certificate to use during your birthday month. Since we have birthdays 3 days apart we asked if we could use them both together. YES!

We each got the dinner of our choice and a drink and still had 9 dollars left over to spend but we were full. We could have gotten ice cream too!
They came out and sang to us, took 2 pictures, and gave it to us in a little frame.
I highly recommend it!

Great Wolf Lodge

We took a family trip in June to The Great Wolf Lodge. It was almost a 3 hour drive with all of the detours. Cam was tried as you can see and the girls were soooo excited. We just stayed one night but it was enough for them. (We never go anywhere.)

Cameron did not like the water much at that time so he spent most of his time in the stroller while Cory and I took turns riding the slides with the girls.
It was a lot of fun.

Dad and the kids sitting in the bear.

We went out to eat at The Cracker Barrel. I thought it was delicious.

Seeing the kids jumping all over the beds when we first got the the room reminded me of being a kid. It was so exciting to go stay in a hotel!

The pictures inside the water slide room did not turn out so well. You get the idea....WE HAD FUN!!!

Blushing Basics

A friend of mine has started a really fun blog. It is called Blushing Basics and it is all about make up. She does tutorials on how to apply and where to buy.
I really enjoy it so I thought I would share it with all of you. Become a follower to see what she will do next!

Good job Kristie. Keep it up!

Happy First Birthday Cameron!

Our baby boy is 1. It really seems like just yesterday we brought him home from the hospital. He has been such a great baby. He is not walking yet but I am in no hurry.
He loves his blankets just like the girls do.
Happy Birthday Cam!
