Our First Camping Trip

We went camping for the first time as a family (ok... the fishing pictures are from an earlier fishing trip, not this one!) Sorry for so many similar pictures, but the kids (particularly Alice) loved posing on the rocks. The scenery made for some great pictures. The fact that they love to have their pictures taken helped, too!

Playing Catch Up.... Again

More will come soon!!! These are from the last few months...

Wrapping up Our Summer Trip

We had lots of fun visiting with our cousins and family on both sides! You can see more pictures from our stop over at Pete and Noelle's on the Simons' Family Blog. As you'll see below, we wrapped up our trip with a stop for Dairy Queen on the way home :)

Doug and Rachelle's Wedding

We went home for a few days for my cousin Doug's wedding. We had a lot of fun and wished we could have stayed longer. There are a ton of pictures, so bear with me. In addition to the wedding, we spent an evening with some cousins I haven't seen in a few years and we stopped at Stephen's brother Pete's house for a night.




Alice begged for weeks to see her Great-Grandma Applegate. She was so excited when we finally go there!







Samuel was one of the ringbearers. Doesn't he look so grown up?!
















Here is my cousin Doug and his mom (my aunt) Nola. They looked so great!


















Here are Doug and Brad (his brother/best-man) looking good!






























Alice was so happy that she got to dance with Rachelle. She thought Rachelle looked like a real princess :)









Congratulations Doug and Rachelle!

Playing Catch Up

The past two or three months flew by!!! Sorry for all of the random pictures dumped in this entry, but they are my favorites and wanted to get them up before the kids graduate! ;-)

Florida!

Florida was fun. As you can see, we spent a lot of time at the beach. Pretty much everyone got a nice burn on our last day.
