New school Year-New hair do

This is a picture of Katelyn minus her two front teeth-she lost the second one about 2 wks ago. I told her she will be wanting her 2 front teeth for Christmas for sure.
Katelyn with her new haircut and if you look close enough you can see some of her freckles on her nose. Finally something that resembles her mom. I guess the Lines gene isn't so dominate.

Yesterday we had our haircuts for the boys and all through out the day I kept asking Katelyn if she wanted to get her hair cut for the new school starting on Monday. She said yes and we decided to go with just a simply but adorable bob. She will be starting 1st grade on monday and we thought it would be fun to start out with a new hairstyle. She loves it and so do I. We are excited to start a new school year. Good Luck Katelyn.

Boys will be boys

Michel enjoying a bullet Popsicle.
Ashlyn wondering where her Popsicle is. Of course I gave her one she just had already eaten hers and I think she was looking for handouts.

Michel had our neighbor boy over yesterday. Parker has been our neighbor since we moved in about 4 yrs ago he is 1 month older than Michel and they play so well. Parker is an awesome friend to Michel he is always so nice and always willing to do whatever Michel wants. Katelyn also enjoys playing with Parker somehow she has been able to wrap little Parker around her little finger. Sometimes she has even talked him into playing with all her girlie toys. I sure Parker's dad won't appreciate that but he is just so nice to please. Parker has an older Brother Tanner who is about 2 mo older then Katelyn and he just as awesome a friend as Parker. Our family has been very fortunate to live by the Willis family they have become dear friends of ours and we can count on them for anything any time of day. Every time Michel is doing something he always has a little shadow her name is Ashlyn!! Especially if Michel is outside playing she is always right behind him. Even with Parker over Ashlyn still wanted to follow her big brother around and they played so well. I am grateful my kids have awesome friends to play with ones that have the same values and are kind and loving people.

Camping

Well over the fourth of July weekend Daddy took the following week off to go camping. We left on the 6th and went up to where Daddy always goes hunting of course that is when he ever gets drawn. It was a fun few days. Grandpa and Grandma Lines met us up there on Sunday and spent the day with us. Grandpa let us use his quad and the kids had a blast, especially Big boy. If Michel wasn't walking around he was sitting on the quad waiting for a ride. He was the perfect riding companion it didn't matter how fast you would go he would just hold on and enjoy the ride. Katelyn on the other hand preferred you go a little bit slower. Ashlyn also enjoyed it once you put her on it she would not want to get off. Mommy also enjoyed it, especially when daddy would take the kids for a long ride it gave me time to enjoy my book and time with Ashlyn. Daddy took Katelyn and Michel up to a look out tower and had a pretty view. It is always fun to get away with just the family the weather was good even when it did rain. We will always remember this camping trip it was Ashlyn's first and Mommy's last for awhile since we will be having a newborn within the next few months. Of course I am never opposed to having daddy take the kids for a quick getaway.
