Oliver's new hiding place

He's hiding under the reclining part of the couch. Josh was doing something that scared him and before I knew it he was laying under there. It was funny.

Taylor's Birthday

(I had the picture rotated before I downloaded it, but it downloaded sideways. I can't figure out how to do it.)

He got a new 20 G shot gun for hunting pheasants this fall with his dad. He passed hunter safety class on Friday and has been telling me everything he needs to do. I think he really paid attention. Josh also made him a prime rib dinner with king crab legs. Kaitie made him a chocolate chip cookie cake and decorated it all by herself. She did a great job. We put relight candles on and he couldn't figure out what was going on. Some of the candles relit like 5 times, it was hilarious. we finally let him in on the joke. All in all I think he had a fun day and now I have a whole year to prepare myself for a teenager next year!!

Kaitie's room

This summer we have been busy painting the house. Here are the colors Kaitie picked out for her room. It's bright! The colors, neon green and blue

Taylor getting on the bus for his first day of middle school.....yes, that's right my baby is in 6th grade and is in middle school. He gets on the bus at 7:27 am every day and gets home at 4 pm. So far I think he is enjoying middle school.
