For our 11 year anniversary I gave Jer a trip to D.C. to visit his sister Lindsey and her cute family. We had so much fun playing in the nations capitol with our new nephew (and his mom and dad)
September
Well we found another Tarantula in our yard and although Jeremy and I hate bugs, we knew the kids would get a kick out of it. So....we brought it in the house and put it in a cage for the kids to play with. However, we did not notice that there was a hole on top of the cage, now we have a Tarantula loose in our house!!
We have now learned all there is to know about Tarantula bites and habits (thank you google) and even though they are virtually harmless it does not change the fact that there is a GIANT Spider somewhere in our house!!!!
The 3 older kids are enjoying another year of soccer - of course Jeremy is coaching all three of their teams, and I am coaching Ashlee's cheer team. So our Saturdays are very busy, but we really enjoy being involved in all the kids things - it is so fun to watch them improve their skills and have fun.

August 2009
First Day of School! Andrew is in Kindergarten, and Ashlee is now in Third Grade - My kids are growing up so fast.
Andrew turned 6! We had an awesome birthday party that I have to admit I was opposed to at the start. Andrew wanted to have a junk food party with a food fight, and I said no at first. But, "Save the Day" Dad helped pull it off - we slung pudding, yogurt, whip cream, chocolate sauce, and every variety of messiness at eachother. We were such a slimy mess but it was a blast!!
We had planned on getting Andrew his own motorcycle too since Taylor got one for his birthday in June, but Andrew insisted on getting a Chinese Dwarf Hamster instead..."Fine, it's your birthday, get what you want" we said :)

July Part Two
I finally got to go on my hot air balloon ride that my sweet family gave me for my birthday. It was really cool. We flew over Steamboat Springs Colorado and enjoyed the beautiful mountains as our scenery - Kinda cool flying with no steering.
While in Steamboat we did all the "must do's"...we went horse back riding and to the rodeo.
Made a few trips down the Alpine Slide, played a couple rounds of miniature golf.
Hiked in the mountains. You just can't beat the Colorado Mountains for a good hike - we try in Texas, but fail in comparison.
Then back in Franktown, Colorado (Searleville) we took a turn riding on the tire swing Uncle Sean has tied to the top of his Fire Truck Ladder - Yup, Uncle Sean has his very own Fire Truck, just for fun -why not?

July
SHARK FISHING!!! for the next 8 weeks Jer will go Shark fishing almost every week. It is best to go when the Shrimp Boats are out - you follow the shrimp boats and the shark are everywhere! It is incredible to see how many shark there are swimming around you.
The one the kids caught was not quite the same as Jer's, but just as exciting to reel in!
We took a trip to Colorado to visit all the Fam and see the mountains. Couldn't miss a quick swing in Grandmas Back Yard.
We took the kids to Cave of the Winds in Colorado Springs. Andrew was fascinated by the rock formations and crystals.
In Steamboat Springs we enjoyed the company of the Searle extended family with plenty of Camp Fires and bike rides and total cousin overload :) It's great to be part of a big family!
mmmmm Smoore's!
