I really thought i'd have a lot of free time this summer and be able to keep up on my blog more but obviously that has not been the case, we have been busy as usual. We had birthday parties for Katelin in May and for Rylies 7 th birthday this past weekend. Both parties turned out great and the kids had lots of fun. Chet spurred himself at work.....again. He spurred his foot about 6 years ago, well this time he spurred his inner knee and hit a main vein. He lost a lot of blood but got patchedup and just couldn't climb for a few weeks so he did bucket work. Katelin also had an incident, Chet was holding her and a powerwheels battery got knocked off and the corner hit her foot hard. We were worried it was broken so we went to te ER and luckily babies have those soft bones and she just had a bad owie. Chet felt so horrible but like I told him it could have happened to anyone.We've just been taking it easy this summer, the kids have spent lots of time in the sprinkler, we got Rylie and Owen there own library cards. Rylie started piano lessons and seems to like it. I'm going to call this week and get owen signed up for Tae Kwon Do. Katelin is jabbering a lot but the only legible words are Hi and Bye. She waves to everyone and is using a spoon really well to feed herself.We were very happy to have all 6 of the kids at Rylies bday party, Matthew is home safe from Kuwait/Iraq and is back to work, Jakee is still working at the mall, she got a car and Cheston is still working on his music.We hope everyones having a great summer, enjoy the pics, there are lots of them.....Katelin, after Rylie dressed her up like a bumblebee!
