Way Behind Times~

Holy Moly I haven't posted forever. This is a quick recap of the summer 2010

Brendon broke his arm the week before he got out of school. It was a really bad break and we were not sure for the longest time if he would need surgery or not. Thankfully there was enough reduction in the sight of injury that keeping it casted over the summer was enough to do the job.

It made for a pretty crumby summer for Brendon as he had to keep it dry, couldn't ride scooters, bikes, swim or all the other cool stuff that you usually do over the summer. He finally got it off (after much convincing that dad would take care of all rehab for it) so that he could take his SCUBA certification program. He did great and loved it!

 Morgan and Brendon passed SCUBA certification (with the highest scores in the entire class!!!) We can't wait to dive with them soon!

Caiden and his dad are of course the bestest buddies. I sure love seeing these two be silly together.

All five kids really seemed to get along well. I think there is something to this whole growing up thing.

This is our cute little family braving the heat at the Waco zoo. It is so dang hot in TEXAS!

Morgan had the opportunity to play club volleyball as well as attend a camp at Baylor University. She is adorable and is so much fun to watch.

Jensen and Scott are amazing runners. Jensen really took to long distance running this summer. I hope he will continue to find a love of running especially because his dad is such a great runner too. He has the perfect, no fat, built for running body.

The entire family except for Brendon (remember broken arm) participated in a community track meet. It was great and It made me so thankful to have a healthy active family that could run, laugh, play and support each other. It was fantastic!



Scott and I were able to go on a marriage retreat (=free all inclusive weekend spending time with your best friend and reflecting on the perfectness and comfort of our relationship.)

This is the bunch at the zoo again. We were taking a break from the heat in a 'cave' at the zoo.

Caiden took swim lessons and did fantastic. He even jumped of the high dive! Very brave kid.



Ashton worked really hard at a football camp that was held that the junior high. They worked the kids from 7:30am to 4pm. The boys had to play, train, scrimmage in the heat. It was 112 degrees on a couple of the days. He wanted to quit, I wouldn't let him. He felt so good when he finished though and I was proud of him because I wouldn't have wanted to do it either.
