Summer

No excuses. We all know I'm terrible about updating this thing. I thought I would be better about it this summer, but I have managed to fill my extra time just fine.

Colin graduated from Kindergarten. One downside to me being his teacher is he wanted to hide behind me instead of participating in the program! Oh well. My littlest is going to be in first grade and that completely freaks me out.

We had an awesome vacation to Seattle the beginning of June. We were gone for 9 days. As Colin put it, the best part is "our family is always together."

We have been spending our summer riding bikes, racing 4-wheelers & motorcycles, playing on our friend's boat, going to the pool and playing with friends. Here are a few pictures of our fantastic summer so far.

We had a ton of rain in June. I can't remember it ever raining this much. I totally loved it. I thought this cloud looked so threatening.

Marissa in her race, can you see her grin? She totally loves the competition. She came in second, yeah, she beat all the boys. The one who got first was her friend Riley (a girl)I raced too (on Colby's motorcycle) in the "hot mama" race. The moms take their kids bikes and race each other. I came in second. In my defense I was riding a XR100 and my friend who won was on a CRF150F, not exactly a even match. It was hilarious and a ton of fun. Steve didn't take any pictures of the race so you'll have to take my word on it.

Looks like your family had a ton of fun. I can't believe how big you kids are getting, makes me feel old. I remember them as the little kids I use to babysit all the time. Miss you guys.
