"Ride 'Em COWGIRL!!"

I am here to update you on all that we have been doing. Recently we went to our friends Mike and Mitzy's wedding and took all these photos there. We had a blast and Abby was a hit at the reception. We went with Andi and Dan and I think that we actually held her for a total of only an hour. We got to visit with our friend TK although not as much as we wanted to, it is always great seeing TK she blows in like a breath of fresh air full of energy and seems to electrify all of us. We are busy trying to enjoy what little bit of nice weather we have. Justin has really gotten into reading this summer. Both boys fully completed the summer reading program that the local library putsd on and earned the total number of points available. I took them as Anna was working when it was held. But we all got to go to a special program the library put on. It was about snakes and Justin was enthralled, asking questions about snakes I never would have thought to ask. He is really coming into his own and over the summer has matured to the point that Anna and I are amazed. Joseph is as always the little social butterfly. He has all the nieghborhood children in our house. He struggled at first with a homework schedule during the summer but once he learned that he could earn prizes he whipped himself into shape. Of course he invited everyone to come to his house for his birthday includiong the check out lady at Fred Meyer, the Pharmacist, the lady he met while waiting in line at the farmers market. He got a new bike that he rides everyday. All in all they are both doing wonderful
