Chop Chop!

The girls have been wanting their hair short "like Quinn" (their good friend) for quite some time. We finally gave in yesterday when we headed out to do back-to-school haircuts. So....the girls will head back to school in September with cute bob hair-cuts.
Here they are posing for their last long-hair pic. The hairs a bit messy because we pulled it out of a pony tail, and they were sporting gowns because they had P.J. Day at VBS.

Fixing the Fence

The other night Carson, Emmy, and Ellie helped Sam replace a couple of our fence posts that were in bad shape. They loved being outside with their daddy and taking turns holding the drill!

Ella, whose arms are covered in tattoos...

Cheerleading Swim Party

The girls had their cheerleading season kick-off party at the water park this morning. They are going to cheer on a team with Ashlyn this year. Their team will start practicing in August, and their first game will be in September. So to kick off the season they had some fun. Excuse Ella's swimsuit that always seems to inch down. I didn't notice when I was taking the picture, and it was the only pic that I took with Ashlyn!

6 Flags!

On Friday evening after Sam got home from work we headed to Six Flags. We didn't get there until 6:00, and we left the park when it closed at 10:00. It wasn't too hot, or too crowded. We had a great time! In the picture above we had just gotten off of The Roaring Rapids Ride. We were all soaked!

Emma waiting for the 3-D movie to start. It used to be a Spongebob movie, but now they have changed it to a robot movie. I didn't think it was very good, but the kids enjoyed it!
