Happy, Chloe:) We can't believe she is 16 months already! Busy as a bee, full of new words, and not a fear in her body! It always amazes us at how much she really understands and how she will follow commands. We call her a genious baby now because after we missed a call on the cell phone, she not only called the voicemail, but put it on speakerphone so we could all hear it! (Maybe it was just luck, but it was amazing!)

A little dark, but you can see Anthony and Jerry getting a firework ready to shoot. Auntie A and Uncle Jerry had an amazing assortment of fireworks, making for an amazing backyard show:)

Our July 4th fireworks crowd...Auntie Amy, AJ, Britty, her friend Stephanie, Uncle Jerry, Avery, and Anthony, rounded up by Bic, Charlie, and Shannon and Chloe (taking pictures)...we had a wonderful evening of fun:)

Violet is growing so big! We really enjoyed playing with her during our visit to OH...thanks, Auntie Stephie!

AJ poses with Pap:)

AJ, Great-Grandma Eva , and Avery in Ohio, July 2007.

The kids with Great-Grandpa Lonnie and Great-Grandma Jeanie:)

A family shot on the floating bridge. All part of the beautiful gardens at the Creation Museum in northern KY.

On our trip to Ohio, we visited the new Creation Museum with Grandma Jeanie and Grandpa Lonnie. It was a great museum, excellent exhibits and full of fun. Here the kids pose with Grandma Jeaine and the "three horns dino".

AJ all dressed for soccer camp. Methodist University held a week long soccer day camp. Both AJ and Avery had a wonderful time, even though temperatures soared in the high 90's!

Avery all dressed and ready for soccer camp!

Avery, AJ, and Chloe pose for a picture at The Frog's Leap vinyard. It's one of our favorite vinyards in Napa Valley, and it's Organic, so we ordered a case and had it shipped home:) They have just a wonderful garden and mini-farm set up with the vines. It's such a neat place to explore and eat the fresh fruits, see the animals, and enjoy a glass of the tasty wine:)

Grandpa Bud puts on another roll....the kids really love visiting Great-Grandma Gay and Great-Grandpa Bud Hewitt. Each time we go, Grandpa puts different songs on the player piano. The kids just love it! Especially now that they are taking piano lessons, they know just how hard it is to really play a fancy song!

Chloe finally runs for Grandpa Harv to hold her:)

Chloe and Great-Grandma Gay Hewitt

Chloe was sure that this bucket belonged on Grandpa Larry's head:)

Avery presents the town of Avery!

Auntie Kaitie and Chloe:)

Uncle Ben and Auntie Lisa...the kids were so excited to see them in CA! After living with them for over a month last year, the kids have really missed them. During baseball, AJ got hit with a ball and came out of the game bawling. He asked if I had my phone, and I assumed he wanted to call Daddy, who was home with the girls, but he sobbed, "I want to call Uncle Been!"

Avery and Uncle Mookie. Avery asked, "Do you really think Mookie is Superman?"
