Life comes at you fast!

I swear I just posted yesterday about the kids turning 9, and then today somehow McKay and Makenna are leaving for college and Cooper was baptised? Ok, maybe not quite that fast, but honestly, where has the time gone? I unintentionally took a blog hiatus, so I figured its time I get back in touch.

First, I'll take you way back to May 4th, Brooklyn's 4th birthday! She decided to have her (first official) kid party at Bouncin' Off the Walls. The great thing about that is they don't charge per child and so you don't really have a limit to how many kids you can invite. The bad thing is, you don't know how great limits can be. We invited way too many kids! It was fun for Brooklyn who made out better than two years of Christmas put together. However, not so good for the parents who got to supervise 20, 3 to 4 year olds on blow up slides and jumpers that are guarnteed to produce bodily injury! None the less, we managed to get some cute pictures amongst all the chaos!






Next we had Cooper turning 6 months. He's growing way too fast! Only the weeds in the yard can keep up!





That gets us almost through May. I am trying to learn how to do the picture collages and I will update more DowDell family happenings, as soon as I get that down. If anyone has any good suggestions, please feel free to share. BTW- The date at the top of this post is proof that I have tried to keep this blog thing up to date. I originally started this post in June, and three months later, I sorta finished it! Compared to some other projects I have going, like getting through my long list of "favors" I owe my cute hubby, that was fast!
