We just enjoyed a weekend at "Diamond Dipper" a quaint little piece of land in Beazer that is so beautiful and already such a special place! It was amazing to think that our Grandma Toone grew up in this area and played all along this very same beautiful river where our children were today getting drenched! It's too bad Grandma and Grandpa weren't with us in person, though I don't doubt they were well aware of the fun taking place. To uncle George and aunt Karen, THANK YOU for all the work you've done and for sharing your little piece of heaven with us this weekend! Here's why it's called "Diamond Dipper"....for all the diamond willow trees all over! And dipper because this kind of bird has been spotter here! Sounds like a cool bird. But since I've never seen one, I'll have to head back out there again....real soon (he he.....he!) Here are some of the kids roasting Hot Dogs in the giant TP. This was nothing short of AMAZING. An o...

It's sad that summer is already half over. We've been much busier than I had thought we'd be. Here are some photos...totally out of order but they still sum up the last month. Took this shot of Kendall and Dane before church one morning....just cause they looked so spiffy! Love Dane's little tie. Kendall insisted on taking one of us (since my children rarely have photos of me WITH them). I'm the photo crazy one in my family so I'm always behind the lens! I love this though cause it's my favorite thing Dane does. When he gets a little shy or just wants to cuddle, he'll lay right down against my neck and hide his little head under mine! I hope he'll always be a cuddly boy!! (until he hits the teenage years of course!! Then I hope he hates to cuddle!). This is Brooklyn with her "treasure box" from uncle Lorin. She's made it her own and lately carries it around like it's the most precious thing ever. She carried it around all day lik...

Thought I'd hurry and post a few pics from the past couple of weeks. We did some fun geocache's with our family and uncle Lorin. Girls had a great time. Thanks Lorin for all the great pics you took. Actually, all pictures in this post are courtesy of either Kendalls brother Lorin or my brother Chad. That would be my dream, to have someone else capture great photos...and document times like these of my family (however I'd be scared to have my brother document such events so for now I'll just plug away at it!). Thanks though you guys! The pics aren't in order. Here's how we treated ourselves after our hard earned search for treasures! I tried to only use pictures that wouldn't give away exact locations of geocaches! (that and I also chose my favorites! Love this one of Kendall and Mya with the field in the background. It was a beautiful night! Love the hair. I actually do it....some days. This wasn't one of those days though! :) Dane is definitely more...
