Beware....this may take a while

I know I am behind AGAIN..... we have been pretty busy over the last few months. We had a great summer. It all started off the day after school got out. We drove to Arizona for Bristol's family's reunion. The kids had a great time playing with their cousins. We even managed to get a family picture with the entire Rhoton family. This hasn't happened in years....

I know this is a small picture but it is the best I have....

We also received a family pass to Thanksgiving Point...needless to say we spent most of the summer there. We were able to take many friends and neighbors with us.....

Sydney had an eventful summer....She turned seven and finally lost her first tooth...She has been waiting for two years for that to happen...It was her top tooth. Since August the count is two teeth now...

Kaley also had her fair share of adventure this summer....We had our first broken arm...yes Kaley broke her right arm, just above the wrist. She was riding her bike and fell off. I was so upset about the fact that she wasn't wearing a helmet and had her one day old glasses on that I wasn't too sympathetic about her arm. After a few hours of complains about her arm I told her I was going to take her to the doctor.....Well she begged me to go. I felt like such an awful mom. It was broken and had to be casted for six weeks. At least she had a cool pink cast, and it was even waterproof. She went swimming and all.

The kids are having another great school year....Kristyn is in 6th grade....how is she that old? Kaley is in 4th grade, Sydney in 1st and Blayne is in Kindergarten. I love having all four kids in the same school. I feel like a spend most of my time at school. I am there so much the principal actually asked me if I wanted to work there. Maybe next year I will take him up on that.

We have a new addition to our family....We received Max on July 14, 2009. He is the cutest dog ever.....even when he is chewing on my shoe and tipping over the trash can....I kids saved up for almost three years for a dog....We are having so much fun with this little guy.
