Once again I find myself saying, "I can't believe I have not updated this site since June!" I guess it is true, time flies when you're having fun. As we near the end of summer, I thought I would just do a quick update on what we have been up to during July and August. 
If you know me at all, you know that the 4th of July is a big event around our house. The girls have never seen fireworks so Uncle Jeremy and Auntie Roo brought some simple ones over. We still stuck to our schedule so the kids had to see the fireworks before it was dark but they had a great time. They were lined up in their chairs and clapped after every one. Most of them enjoyed doing sparklers on their own. We survived the night with only one minor burn! Near the end, McKenzy got totally freaked out so we called it quits. Everybody had fun and we all loved having Jeremy and Amy home to celebrate with.
Just a cute picture of Jamahl at the park. September 4th is his big day starting Kindergarten! He is absolutly ready but Mommy refuses to believe it. He told us last week thought that he had to go to school because he was going to become the smartest boy inthe whole world! How is that for a goal?
We also attempted to take everyone to the 4-H fair. Everyone loved the animals although Sidney is still talking about the smelly pigs. Their favorite animals of the night was the goats, who tried to eat the strollers and the girls dresses. We were having a fun time until the tractor pull started. The noise completly freaked McKenzy and Keyan out. We ended the night by rushing 4 two year olds, 2 strollers, and all of our stuff to the van. Next year we will go during the day!!!!

Of course we have had a great summer for using the pool. You will never hear us complain about all the 90 degree days we have had. Jamahl is swimming, jumping, and cannon-balling all over the place. He is learning new things in the water every day. The girls are doing really well also. Everyone except Keyan can bob around on their own, "swim to the ladder", and jump in. It has been amazing to see how quickly they learn. Poor Keyan can not get her trach wet so she has to stay swimming with Grammie and she is not happy watching her sisters having so much fun. We just keep telling her that eventually she will be doing the same thing!
We also managed to get out first professional pictures taken just a few weeks ago. The kids did great....I won't comment on how the studio did! We hope that you all are having just as good of a summer as we are. Enjoy what is left of it!
