Time for a trim?

Dad was in need of a haircut this weekend, so the kids helped me trim him up. Lexi was in charge of cutting and Will was in charge of vacuuming up the hair. It was so cute. :) Lexi was in all her glory..thought it was so cool. (good thing dad is a little bald already in case we messed up) Dad was a good sport. Anyone else interested? They work cheap.

Yogi Bear...

We spent the last week of summer vacation camping in Fremont. It was our first trip here and we all had a really nice time. We rented a small cabin for three nights and for the most part had great weather.

Radies Cousin Reunion...

At the end of August, the Radies cousins got together again at Jackie and Kyle's house for another great annual reunion. This year we switched things up a bit and left the older kids to watch the younger ones and went out Friday night. Nikki and Brian graciously drove us in "Connie the Conquest" and we headed to our friend Karl's birthday party.
