Kaylin in the NY leaves

Neal in the NY leaves

The kids absolutely LOVED the leaves in NY. Neal got excited when I walked through them. I think the both of them would have stayed out all night if I had let them.

Kaylin turns 4!!!

Kaylin turned 4 this past July 30th. I will give you three guesses as to what her theme was...??? Yes..of course...Horses!! It was a blast! She is already planning her 5th birthday..whew:)

Tim at the Subway Fresh 500

Ah, this is the life. Watching the race from the rooftop, a cold Coors Light in hand. Phoenix International Raceway is a great track with expansive views of the desert mountains which adds to the experience. A dramatic racing venue for sure.

Kaylin and her friend Chick

Chick was by far the best purchase we have ever made. She is worth her weight in gold! She absolutely LOVES the kids and almost seems to 'mother' them! Kaylin seems pretty happy too!

Kaylin

I almost think Kaylin is more proud of her baby brother then her parents. She absolutely loves him and has been the best big sister ever!

Neal

Our beautiful baby boy "Nealie" (as his sister nicknamed him). We also call him "mini-Tim". What a spirit this little man has! He will be competing with his father for who has the best sense of humor!

Family vacation in Northern Arizona

Glorious days spent in Forest Lakes. I am not sure who had more fun..mom and dad or the kids..:) Kaylin even tried her hand at fishing!!! We need to do this more often!!!
