Hey Kiddos!!!!
It's been a little while since I made the time to write something to you. We have had such an awesome summer as a family. We had a great trip to Yellowstone and an awesome trip to Jackson Hole. Every other day has been filled with swimming and laughing and fun and enjoying every minute of dad being home for the summer. I can't believe how fast you all are growing. Everyday you seem to be getting bigger and bigger and all that I want to do is keep you little. Sophie, I can hardly believe that you are 8 months old. You are crawling around everywhere and starting to give us a run for our money. You are the happiest little girl in the world. You love your daddy so much. You get the biggest grin on your face when you see him and you are so good for him when I am at work. It is hard to believe that my baby is growing up so fast. Audrey-what a difference from last summer. Last year you weren't walking or talking and now you are running around and singing songs. You have had quite the summer. You had your first big "owie" when you had to get 7 staples in your head after falling off of Grandma Beths fireplace. You were such a trooper-you handled it so much better than I did. It's a good thing you have such cute, curly hair because you can't even see where they were. You are such a funny girl and you love to tease your big brother. When we were on our last trip, you were our little alarm clock. Daddy would wake up to you with your face in his saying "you funny, daddy, you funny." I could follow you around all day to capture all the cute and funny things you say. Carter, you are growing so incredibly fast. You have become such a big and handsome little man. You are continually pretending to be a dinosaur, and I mad ethe mistake of watching Jurassic Park with you once and now we are watching it at least once a day. You know the names of the dinosaurs "Long Neck" and "Sharp Tooth" and you spend the majority of the day roaring like a dinosaur. You do such a good job taking care of your sisters and doing your fair share of teasing them. We bought you a real cowboy hat in Jackson Hole this last year and you wear it all the time-its a good thing you look so handsome in it. We have been watching Madagascar lately, and you love to sing the "Move it" song. Instead of saying "I like to move it move it," you say, "I got my move it, move it." Thanks for making me laugh.

Daddy and I love you so much. You are so amazing and such a blessing to our family. We are so happy that we have the chance to be a forever family. We love you so much!!!!
