Fun times at the petting zoo!

THE DELLS!!

Hallie and I had a fun little trip to the Wisconsin Dells with my sister, Landon, MiMi, Papa, Chris, Ashley, Clayton and Ryk. My brother-in-law had a meeting he couldn't miss so my sister inviting us along to enjoy the fun! We had such a great time! It is such a great trip for kids! AND 25 year old that wish they were still 12! HA!

Family Camp

This year was our second year at Family Camp! We really love it! It is a great time to do some activities as a family and with some of our good friends too! Hallie really enjoyed it even more this year! Our camera died on us so we only have a few photos! UGH! We caught horse-back riding and some chapel shots but were unable to get the zip-line, swimming, and paddle boating on camera! We already can't wait until next year!

So many updates...So little time!

Well...lets just say we have finished our summer super swamped-with many fun family activities! We had time with Chris, Janna and Jack; my high school youth group reunion; The Iowa State Fair, Family Camp, and Wisconsin Dells! WOW...we really were busy! Details on these activities to come! :)

A couple Harper updates: She is pulling herself up! She also does "SO BIG" now!

A cute Hallie story: We were struggling to get her to bed the other night. She always tells us she is scared or some other random excuse...So, of course, we always tell her that Jesus is with her even when we are not. I think this is a hard concept to grasp BECAUSE while we were struggling she shouted, "WHERE IS JESUS?" I thought it was precious...She must have been looking for him. :)

Miss Roo...

Wow!! Little Miss Roo is now on the go! She is a crawler! I also found her first tooth last weekend at Family Camp! She is getting soooo big! She will be 8 months tomorrow!

So it begins...

As I am cooking dinner the other night...the girls playing in the next room. I hear a loud SHRIEK from Hallie and some dramatic crying. I peek around the corner to see her pointing her finger at Harper saying, "No Harper! You not pull my hair. That not nice." I examine the situation a little closer to see a 7 month old, chubby hand full of blond hair. I couldn't help but laugh (of course to myself and not in front of Hallie). It begins...the hair-pulling, cat-fights. HA! :) I must say it was a precious moment...and Hallie handled it so well!
