What has been going on with Kimball and Katelyn.

The kids had a great time this summer visiting with lots of cousins and grandparents. Kimball is so very observant of other people. He is always making us laugh with his comments, mostly about old men with "full tummies" (big guts).
Katelyn has returned to her defiant, feisty stage. She loves to accessorize, but we are going to have to work on the color schemes. The kids are both liking our new house and love having a back yard and a daddy that is home for lots of wrestling and tickling.


Playing with cousins.



Kimball's first camping trip.

Of course they have to play with worms.

Enjoying the lake.

Looking a little frightened. The same look I get when near a CHP car.


This is what I meant by accesorizing and color schemes.

This is what has been happening with Cort.

To start things off, Cort had a birthday in July. We celebrated by dressing up like pirates and eating lots of cake. Then, two weeks later he graduated from the California Highway Patrol Academy. We are so proud of him and all of his hard work. It was a long six months, and loss of 50 pounds, but he did it! Then three days after graduation he moved us back down to Southern California. He is such a great husband and we are loving having him home every night and three to four days a week.
