We had a super busy summer and did lots of fun things. We went on RZR rides. This is a picture of Gabbi's first RZR ride. She actually really prefers the back with Hal instead of riding on my lap. They sit in the back and hold hands. So cute!
Hanging with Halle
What a beautiful princess with her crown and Raja!
We did the parades in the fire truck.
Our sweetie
Playing with her Bop! She LOVES her brother!
More rides!
Trying to feed herself yogurt
This boy will do anything for his baby sister. She has Gid wrapped around her finger ALMOST as tight as her daddy
Our cuties sang in the 24th of July patriotic program
Gabbi and I waiting for the parade to start.
We went camping. It was the most horrible camping experience we have ever had. It rained the whole time and with Gabbi not walking yet this was not fun. She wanted to be down and I would not let her play in the mud. We pretty much spent the week in the tent reading.
Gid got bit on the eye lid while sleeping out on the tramp.
We spent time at the park.
We went to Willow Park with Taylor Cousins. This time their was a man with a metal detector that showed the kids how it worked. They thought it was awesome.
Feeding the reindeer and playing with snakes.
Crazy mornings
The kids love dressing Gabbi up, most of the time she is ok with this but not today.
We went to the Air show. Gid and Hal got to check out the black hawk helicopter.
More play dates with the Taylor Cousins.
We went to Grandma's craft fair and hung out with Grandma Blauer.
The fair had a man doing balloon animals. The kids could pick anything they wanted and this man could make it. They were trying to stump him but he did well. Gid got a frog eating a fly, Gracie got a minion and Hal picked a penguin!
More with her brother
I found this selfie on my phone in the deleted file. Gracie did not know their was a deleted folder for deleted pictures. Makes me laugh.
We went for a hike on the stokes nature trail with Taylor cousins again and got to play in the museum.
We visited Grandma Corbridge.
Gabbi also got hold of my phone and took her first selfie ever.
Nice seat Gabbi
Gracie and Gabbi helping with laundry
We had football games for the first time ever with Gid
Gabbi loves to play with her toys in Tanks bed.
And playing on Halle's couch.
She also enjoyed mowing lawn with her dad
Playing with her pal Tank.
We tried rag curls on Gracie's hair. She thought they were way cool. She did not think they would curl well. You should have seen her face when she saw how well they did! We do this often now.
We threw some homework away we ended up needing later. I had Halle go in after it and she got high centered trying to get her head back out. We had a good laugh
Our four beautiful kiddos
More at the park
Falling asleep while eating
Snuggles
When Brian took off work for 2 1/2 weeks to do potato harvest Gabbi and I would go down and eat lunch with him each day. It was so much fun.
My first selfie ever. (yea I know I swore I would never do this but Brian was on top of the potato stack.) Love this girls smile.
More on the top of stack
Brian was elected as the new Commander for the Search and Rescue for this year. Chad was put in as the secretary.

| The kids had to run the mile this year for P.E. They told the parents so we could go cheer them on. Gracie was not happy about this because she walked for "5 seconds" last year and they made her run and extra lap. When she was whining about it I told her "then don't walk." |
Gid flying through the mile. The kid took off at a dead sprint and sprinted the whole first 2 laps then kind of tired out. He did awesome and took 3rd in his whole class. His time was 8:42. I was so proud of him but he was upset when I came to tell him congratulations. He was embarrassed that he had lost to girl who took 2nd place. He thought someone would make fun of him. I started laughing and said that everyone else in the class had lost to a girl also except the boy who took first. This settled him down a bit but he was not really happy. Funny boy!
The girl that Gid lost to was Grace. I was (quite frankly) shocked. She is not much of an outdoor girl but she ran the whole time and never once walked (which is more than I can say for 3/4 of the class). She had a final time of 8:20!! I was so proud of her. She only lost to a boy in her class that pretty much writes Gracie a love note every day but turns bright red if Gracie even looks his direction. So funny! I was right proud of my young uns!
Our sweet Gabbi in her apron playing chef with mom! Love this girl
