SUMMER 2010

Summer in Missouri has been a lot of fun. Azaria is getting SO big, she can sit up by herself and is trying really hard to crawl. Collin spent the first part of the summer with his dad. Me, Nate and Azaria had fun camping at Stockton lake, where we caught a ton of fish with Cameron. Going to the race track in Bolivar and Wheatland with Susan and Jenny. Going to flat bridge almost everyday and camping at Flatbridge over the fourth of July and floating down the river with our friends Ashley and Josh. And having lots of fun bbq in our backyard around our fire pit and swimming in our pool. Going to the farmers market in Fair Grove every Wednesday afternoon, and singing Karaoke a couple weekends at Dennis's Place. We had a couple tornado warning, and our power had gone out once. Trevor had come out and hung out a few times which has been fun, and Jasmine has also visited us a few times. We planted a cool garden in what would have been our flower bed, and have grown some delicious pees and have a few pumpkins that our getting big. I have been having fun at cooking different friendship breads, and have enjoyed trying other recipes, I really love cooking.
Collin finally flew in to Kansas City on the 12th with my Mom, and we had a great time at the Crown Center playing at Kaleidoscope and eating at Fritz's. We took her to the Bass Pro Headquarters and ate lunch at Hemmingways, we than had a fun BBQ that afternoon. The next day we went to Fantastic Caverns and than to the farmers market. It was a lot of fun having her in town. We have since gone to Willard pool, and had a fun time down at Flatbridge. We are just getting ready for school to start and trying to plan a couple more camping trips before than. More to come on the rest of our fun summer! The kids are getting really big, Azaria loves sitting up all by herself and pretty much any baby food that you feed her. She makes the cutest noises and can go from happy to drama in zero seconds flat. Collin has been our injury prone child this summer first he biffed it pretty hard at the park when we were meeting a bunch of new kids for him to play with, less than a week later he smashed his thumb in the door of the car and cut it up pretty bad. Collin has taken a real interest in reading thou which is great, and he is doing great at writing.
He has started a phase of saying " its not fair" and has become very brave, he jumps of the rope swing at the river and goes through the tubes which I wont even do! He is obsessed with video games and talks about them all the time. He also loves Star Wars and Indian Jones, especially Legos. We love hanging out as a family and have a blast doing pretty much anything together.
