Update

Sorry for the serious delay in updating the blog. Seems to me I have been posting a lot of updates lately. Hopefully I can get back into a regular posting routine now that we have the new computer and we are getting back into the swing of things school wise.
We were with out a computer for several weeks and I am now playing catch up, trying to update everything that was on my other system. Lemmie start with the current and work back to where the other blog ended. :)
We are doing well. We are "officially" back in school. I say that, but yet we have not done much this week due to illness. Nothing major, but it has been just enough to be disruptive. :P Although on Sat. we did get some running around in and we are now the proud owners of a pet fish named "Purple" (Take a guess who named it...LOL), 2 venus fly traps and 2 octopus plants (I am hoping the plants survive awhile as I want to use them for part of our science project this year.). Anyway, now Lex says Lenny (our guinea pig) has a fishy friend. LOL.
In August we attended a DiamondBacks game with my folks. We had a really good time. It helps that they won. :) This was the kids first pro baseball game. Tim is really into sports now.

He has informed us that now he really wants to go see a Cardinals football game. Heh, so we are looking into what we can do. :)
We spent some time at the zoo over the summer... they have a splash pad and open at 6am, so we like to go early and watch as they feed and take care of the animals, and then when it starts to get hot we are already to get cooled off in the water. I will just post all the zoo shots here. :)

I would love to post a lot more, as I tend to be camera happy... LOL but I know that would take up a lot of space. I am still trying to get hubby to work on getting my email back up, so anyone who would like more email me and I will send some more to you once it is back up.  :)
We also spent some time at my in-laws pool along with the kids' Uncle. We always have fun. Erika just cracks me up though (and scares me a little)... she has no fear and just wants to jump right in the water.

We also have been out in the back quite a bit. We have been playing in the water and have also endured the occasional rain storm. The kids will take whatever opportunity they can get to play in the mud.

It has been a quite summer over all. We are certainly hitting the ground running now though. We started back to our homeschool group last week... I should have the pics up soon. October is shaping up to be one busy month with only one weekend where we do not have plans of some sort . We are also already looking ahead to the holidays to make some plans, so if you want in, now would be the time to book some time with us... LOL. Anyway all that promises to make for lots of pics and updates. :)
I am ending with some random shots of the kids. Enjoy!!
