Everyone needs a little sister so they have an excuse to "set up" girl toys

So we had just bought Emma this Littlest Pet Shop toy that she likes and the boys barely let her touch it for the first hour it was home. They were claiming that they were just setting it up for her but i know better.

Emma loves her baby and loves wrapping it up and feeding it all the time.
I just thought she was looking cute here.

We LOVE the Monsoon!!

Summer here isn't bad when the Monsoon storms set in. We has just come home from swimming at a friends house so all the boys were already on thier bathing suits when the rain started. The boys had a blast as you can see running up and down the sidewalks with there friends. There really is nothing better than a shower from the water coming off the roof. After their little rain shower they all had a jacuzzi and washed the dirty water out of there hair.

Here are some pics from our trip to Uray, CO, Boxcanyon falls were so pretty and we were able to hike down to the bottom and the top of the falls. The last pics of Emma are after her new haircut. It is her Posh Spice hair do and we love it. GOODBYE MULLET

We are a blogging family

I have finally decided to start our own blog in hopes that is is less time consuming and more fun than just sending out pics to everyone through email and I am already enjoying it so that is a good sign. So here's the rundown of everyone. Hunter will start 1st grade in 4 weeks and is really excited to stay at school for 6 hours and each lunch at school. Ben will start his second year of preschool and the best thing is that he can walk since it is only a couple houses down. You really can't beat the convenience of that. So I will be at home with Emma working with her on not climbing on top of everything she can.

We have had great summer and had a fun vacation to Utah and Colorado over the 4th of July. It was so fun to go to Colorado and swim in the hot springs there and enjoy the cool weather. We got to wear sweatshirts! It was just nice having a week to spend time as a family and see family. Here are some of my fav. pics to show to everyone.
