Kentucky Horse Park FANTASTIC!

We went to the Kentucky Horse Park "Hats Off Day" on August 24, 2007. It was super NEAT! The kids got to play with and ride both real AND home made horses and horse-related species. Oh yeah, they also got to sit in two really big chairs.

Ellie's one-year-old pictures

Here's a picture of Ellie at one year old. There's more where this came from too. What can we say? Posts about how cute she is are welcome.

(Hey grandmas don't you want to pinch those cheeks in person?)

Jaimee and kids go to DC

At the beginning of August, Jaimee loaded up the kids and drove to DC to visit our good friends the Moore's who moved there in August. Our sweet Dad, stayed at home unfortunately, slaving away at work and we really missed him on this trip! It was a fun time for us in DC! The kids didn't really appreciate that they were standing in front of memorials to some of the most important people in US History, but it makes for some fun pictures and memories.

Two Significant August Events

Our babies are growing up! Cameron started kindergarten on August 13, 2007 (also Uncle Matt's b-day). He was an awesome, excited, lunch box carrying, backpack wearing, raise your hand, go to the library, school ANIMAL!! On his second day he had to pull a card though (that's a warning), but he doesn't know why he had to pull a card. Our theory is that the teacher is liberally dispensing justice at the beginning of the year to show everyone who is the boss, cause we all know that Cameron is an angel who rarely, if ever, deserves a warning of any kind about anything (winks all around). Cameron loves school, and loves to learn. He is really excited.

Also, Ellie turned one year old. That was an eventful year, that went by quickly. She is still superchubby (as the pictures show), but she is also deceptively fast these days. She rolls, crawls, stands (sometimes all at once), and has even begun the most important developmental stage: temper tantrums. We love y'all (as they say in the Bluegrass), hope to hear from you.

Our new blog

Friends and Family,

Welcome to our new blog! We hope that you will frequently visit this website to get updates on our family and see pictures of us (mostly our kids). It is our hope that this blog will become a substitute for phone calls and eventually we hope to phase out human contact all together (JUST KIDDING!!!). We miss everyone like crazy and we really hope that this will be another way of sharing our 1800-miles-away lives with you. We also hope that you will use it to share your lives with us.
