What we've been doing this summer...

Camping
Working on the yard.

Getting kittens


Durango for T'chad's insane bike race.




We've been pretty busy these past few summer months. We started with preschool graduation for Taiyah and left that evening to go camping. The following weekend we took a trip up to Durango for T'chads 50 mile bike race from Durango to Silverton. We stayed a few days and enjoyed the beautiful town, ate yummy food, and the girls did A LOT of swimming. We went on a 19 hour road trip to Montana to visit Papa and Grandma for 12 days (pictures coming shortly) which we had such an amazing time. It was so great to spend time with family and the girls were so sad to go, AND make that horribly long drive back. We have been working in the yard like crazy getting grass in and the walls up, going to the lake a few times and getting 2 new additions to the family...KITTENS!! Yes, I don't know what I was thinking considering this baby is going to be here in only a few short weeks. The girls and I went out on T'chads birthday to get him a present and take it up to the fire station because he was working that day. But instead, the girls found some kittens outside of the Sunflower Market and we ended up with not one, but TWO! The girls are smitten with them. Taiyah's is Lucy and Addie's is Raindrop, Rainbow, Sparkle, Bella, Angel and the list goes on... It depends on the day and her mood. Now school is coming upon us in the next couple weeks and I'm getting my little Taiyah ready for Kindergarden...I think I will cry. Addie is going back to preschool for another year and the baby will be here before we know it. Just getting things painted and ready for her arrival. We are so excited to meet her!
