America's Next Top Model???...

I think we have some work to do! :)

Swing Set!

A couple weeks ago we bought Rachel a swing set off craigslist. It isn't the nicest one on the block, but we got it for only 20 bucks and it does the job! She loves to swing! A huge THANK YOU to Gma and Gpa Oakley for helping us get it picked up!

Towel From GGma

GGma put initials on towels for the kids for the 4th. Rachel used her towel after her bath the other night so we took a few pics for special memories. Thank you GGma!

4th of July Festivities

The past few years we have celebrated the 4th of July at our house with family. This year not as much family was able to attend, the weather was not stellar, and we actually celebrated on the 3rd! We did a few fireworks before the rain hit, but then went inside for dessert. Branton and Tegan didn't seem to be bothered by the fireworks, in fact, Branton loved them, but Rachel and Brennan were less then thrilled! It wasn't the most happenin' party I've hosted, but never-the-less still fun to be with family and friends! Hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th!

Apparently GGpa was very excited about my cheescake bites!

Trip to Houston

Last week Rachel and I (along with Gma Oakley, Aunt Jenn, Brennan, Branton, Aunt Shelly, and Tegan) made a trip to Houston to see the Coleman Crew! It took us about 11 hours to get there and then coming home it took just over 10! It was a blast to go, but oh so hot!!! We went to a water park and of course did lots of SHOPPING as usual! A HUGE thank you to Uncle Ryan who kept 4 of the 6 babies while the Mommas went shopping. I didn't have my camera for the trip so to see pics look at Aunt Jenn's blog! http://cjdouglasfamily.blogspot.com/2010/07/visiting-kinley-and-jaxon.html

Thanks Uncle Ryan, Aunt Jess, Kinley, and Jaxon for a nice visit! It was a blast!

Water Fun

The Thumb Might Be An Obsession

Rachel has been a thumb sucker for most if her life. She really only sucks her thumb when she is tired, has her blanket or is "resting" in the car. The other day she didn't want to get in bed, but insisted on sucking her thumb. She wouldn't take it out to even push her toy around! She just bent down instead. Crazy girl!
