Summer is winding down already!

Well, it is only the beginning of August but summer is winding down quickly! Gabriel and Sophia start school on the 17th and Mary starts pre school on the 31st. All three of them are very excited about starting, and everyday ask how many more days until school starts.It should be an interesting start, Gabriel is sure that that he is probably going to be the boss on the bus of his little sister, and that she doesn't have nice enough hand writing for Kindergarten (she does by the way! lol). Sophie really doesn't care about much as long as she gets to take her new backpack and lunch box and she has informed me that I need to make sure her new winter coat matches them. Mary flat our refuses to even write her name, she is consistently assuring me that her teacher will do if for her and she won't then Sophie will! I don't think she really grasps that Sophie is not going to Pre School this year.

Sara is good, talking more and more everyday! She constantly wants "uppa" and is always reporting just exactly what "Hadee" is doing. She is also my shadow at the moment and every time we get ready to go somewhere screams "don't forget me!" Like we routinely do forget her or something!

Gabriel's birthday is coming up and we have routinely asked what he wants and all he says is to go to the zoo. So being the wonderful mom that I am and having an adventurous Aunt Heidi we have decided to take him to the Denver zoo the weekend of his birthday. He is super excited since his sisters are going to stay at home with his dad. He thinks it is pretty great that Hadleigh is the only girl coming, and informed me that was okay because she is "the cutest baby girl in Wyoming."

Well that is pretty much all the news for now, other then the few random pics below and a short video of Hadleigh trying to get up on her knees. She is growing leaps and bounds and a complete busy body at just 6 months old!





Mary's chosen attire any given day, a dress, tights (no matter how hot!) and her cowboy boots on the wrong feet!



We are convinced that Belle thinks she is a dog. She even sleeps with Hank and is as calm as could be anymore!
