Meet the newest member of our family....

Bugsy. Saige has been wanting a pet so so SO bad and since she was allergic to the kitties, we got this little thing. He is really cute, but we are just trying to get through the potty training and puppy chewing stuff hardness...He is pretty fiesty and fun. The kids are in Love with him and Rich and I like him a little! :)

Summer catch up...

Well it is almost the end of summer and even though there are alot of pictures on this post, I really haven't taken near the pictures that I usually do. Since we are almost about to start school I figured I better do a catch up on our summer activities that I did capture...The last day of school we did a camp out in the back yard to kick of the summer fun with the kids. We roasted marshmallows and set up the tent in the back yard. Rich slept outside with the girls and they loved it!

Saige has been wanting a pet so so SO bad and after visiting grandma Nancy and grandpa Rex's earlier this summer, we ended up bringing home two kitties...Oreo...
and Dusty..........unfortunately Saige was allergic to the kitties and we had to find them a new home. My nice neighbor Jessica took them and Saige went to visit them multiple times a day for a few weeks. She was sad to let them go so she had to make regular visits.
We had a Bischoff family reunion, the first one we have done with Rich's immediate family. Grandma Mary Ellen planned it around a pioneer theme since it was around the 24th of July. They decorated their truck like a covered wagon and had a parade for the neighbors.




Cute little pioneers....


We went to a redneck waterslide and had a blast! It was really alot of fun cruising down this big waterslide, even though Joanna did hurt her elbow on the first try...

The guys were seeing who could go the farthest...Jeremy has one or both of his boys with him. One would sit behind and one in front.



All the brothers made a huge train and went down together...even though I think that was against the rules.:) I tried videotaping it with my camera but I don't know how to upload that. It was dang funny!

We went to the Peak and played in the gym and then went swimming.





We also went to a Skinner family reunion at Bear Lake and had fun there as well. We got to see Brody which is always fun cuz we miss him. The kids loved the sand and water!





We had a Cochran family reunion as well at the beginning of August and went camping at a really nice KOA up Montpelier campground but like I said earlier, I haven't been very good at taking pictures...We have had alot of fun going to the summer matinee movies every week and have also kept busy with swimming lessons and playing with friends and trips to the pool. We have had lots to do and the summer has gone by fast. I can't believe it is almost time for school to start! Crazy! Happy Summer to everyone!
