July 2011
Toe Shoes!

She did it! Emily came back to ballet after being gone from it for a bit and is now on pointe!  It has been exciting to see the progress she has made.  Her teacher went with all the girls to help them pick out pointe shoes.  Ms. Cleo wanted to make sure the shoes fit properly.  I am not sure she will continue with pointe after this year with all the horror stories she has heard, (bloody and deformed toes), but at least she will have this one year of experience. I think she will enjoy it!  :)
Emily's first pair of pointe shoes!


"Look Ma, I'm standing on my toes!



Ta Da!

Emily's First Day of School!
She is a junior now.  I can't believe how quickly she is growing up.  She is turning into a remarkable young woman!  Love you, Emmers!




Tim Allen take the girls, Emily and Lindsay, while John take the boys, Tanner and Joseph!  It is nice to have neighbors help you raise your children.

One of Hayden's passions is to take pictures.  I think it is more than a hobby because he wants to practice and become better at it.  Being a landscape photographer is one of his dreams.  He wants to travel around the countries and take pictures.  He is working up to that by taking pictures in his own yard.  He has so many good ones that it is hard for me to chose, but here are some of my favorite!

Happy 4th of July!  This year we stayed home and watched the Schnepf Farm fireworks from the roof of our house.  The Hunt family joined us.  Then we went into the backyard where Tanner and Hayden set off their fireworks.  We finished the night with root beer floats. What a great way to enjoy our freedom.
