I can't believe that it has been almost 2 months since my last post. I rarely look at blogs anymore and have had SOOOO much "blogging guilt". I have needed to update my blog with tons of pictures and things that happened this summer. This will be a LONG, CONSUMED by pictures post, so congrats if you make it to the end.
So I guess I will start with the first event found on my memory card....
Camping at Paul Reservoir:
At the end of July my whole family was able to go camping together. Despite the flies, the rain, and the mosquitoes we had a blast!! I have so many fun pictures so I will just have to share my favorites.
The Scenery:
Emily caught the biggest fish out of everyone, look at that genuine smile!
The boys shot guns, while everyone else plugged their ears. We have some pretty sharp shooters in my family!
There are not words to explain this picture! Caleb loves Grandpa Empey!
Camping isn't the same without a huge fire and lots of smores and smiles!
My whole family (including Coal the dog)-Love them all!!
After camping we came home to a broken pipe-ugh!
Old, broken pipe.....

New Pipe....Looks much better!
My kids who love tractors!!
Although it was bad to come home to a broken pipe we were totally blessed! My brother happens to work for Steadman Construction and I so I called him up, he called his boss and he came the next day. We had no water except for our emergency supply (which we used a ton of) so it was vital to get it fixed soon. His boss, Jeff dug up the pipe and replaced it all on the same day. When I asked him what I owed him, he was so nice and only charged me for the rental fee and not his time. What a kind gesture!! So if anyone ever needs any work done, Steadman Construction is who to call!
Next event....Summer Fun Days-Playing in the irrigation at Grandma and Grandpa Tanners...
Emily asked me all summer long to play in "Grandpa's Pool". They were really excited and Ben's Mom got in the water with them. They had alot of fun!
Our next adventure for this summer was swimming lessons:
Emily LOVED it!! She started out a little scared and ended up passing the class. She was so proud! She is now is level 2, she struggled the first day but is coming along every lesson.
Little Miss Sassy Pants!!!
Finally....SCHOOL STARTED!!
Emily has been so excited and asked me for weeks and weeks when school was going to start. It finally came and we went and met her teacher. She loves her teacher, the kids in her class and loves to tell me everyday what they did. I love to keep the cute little crafts they make, they show her personality so well. I can't believe she is in preschool, she has grown so fast!
So I feel like I am some what up to date. This isn't everything that happened but some of the fun highlights. I look forward to many more fun things this fall and winter...
