New Hamlet Hair!

Rebekah decided to try some short hair for the first time ever! we love how cute it is!
Kate was the first to go short today. She decided she wanted to look like her 2nd grade teacher.
Hanah always looks cute with short hair. It really fits her personality!
Emma wanted her hair cut but no way were we going to cut those curls so we just pretended!

pictures of the dogs...for Jenice!

Here we have Lula and Polly taking a photo break. They are a lot of fun for our family and we love being the parents of a midgit dog and foster parents to a beauty.



Here are my girls. Lula and Polly are playing and it is so funny to watch because, as you can see, Polly is so much bigger but she always lets Lula win. Such a good dog.

July 4th celebrations

Emma really enjoys having her watermelon. she was trying to get me to throw this away for her but I told her to go find Kira! Why would I want to get sticky when I can pawn it off on a friend?

Here is Hanah really enjoying her 2 sparklers!Every year we go to the Mukelshoot Indian reservation with the Bradshaw family and purchase our fireworks early in the day. Then, in the evening, we all go to their house and light them all off. Here's Kate with her sparkler. She is running down the sidewalk hoping to catch hershelf on fire! She had a great time with all her sparklers. She wanted to light the bottle rockets like the bigger kids but the rule is she has to be 11.
This is Scotts first year beign able to use a "punk" and he was allowed to light bottle rockets, roman candles and a few other small explosives. Big fun for him.
This is Bekah and Gregg doing some roman candle battles with a lovely fountain going behind them. We love doing teh fireworks in the Bradshaws neighborhood becasue so many of their neighbors also light them off and it really gets pretty.

Soccer days

Kate really enjoyed playing the goal keeper this season. Here she is getting ready to put the ball back into play after saving a goal. She really does a great job as goalie she has no fear and jumps right into the mix.
Here she is trying to shut them down. She didn't get a lot of help from her teammates as they were mostly first timers, but they had lots for fun.
She got lucky on this one as the ball came on this side of the goal and didn't go in! Kate only allowed 3 goals all season.

doing some summer jumping

I love this picture fo Emma! looks like she is riding a horse except that there is nothing under her!
Emma likes to run on the trampoline and it just kills me cuz her legs look so funny. She is so cute! this is my favorite age because they are still babies but they are little people too.
Hanah is learning to do forward flips. Grandpa can't watch because it gives him the "willies". She's getting pretty good at them.

fun in the sun! finally!!

Well, it finally got sunny and warm so we decided we better get the pool up before our luck changed and it got cold again! Scott likes to swim in his underwear so that is always a treat! Hanah and Kate were also excited to play in the freezing water as we were filling it up.
