I guess that there are no excuses, so I'll just dive right in.
Car washing has taken place.
Olivia doesn't want Andy to have to work for his food so she usually serves him and bonds with him at the same time. It's very cute.
She bonds with her brothers, too.
I had the privilege of taking senior pictures for Hannah, our sweet friend.
We went back to Texas and found out that my youngest brother, Zach, and his wife, Shanna, are expecting their first baby. Yay!
We had so much fun with family.
Unfortunately, I didn't take my camera with me so the only photos I have of the trip are from my mom. In other words, only Dietz peeps...no Wrights. :(
Cousins are the best friends to have. All of the grand kids are stair-step for the most part.
Caitlin (11), Alexis (8), Isaac (7), Ryan (6), Josiah (5), Addilyn (5...just had a birthday!!), Olivia (2...almost 3), and Sweet Baby on the way
We host a college group once a week and had a surprise birthday party for a guy who didn't show. It was fun. :)
My kids will be sent to public school next year...
We've had lots of wrestling.
Andy is growing and is just about the calmest dog I've ever met.
Olivia wore shoes "like Aunt Shanna".
And we've played in the rain.

Oh Amy,this is a great blog... so many things are going on. Good job Jay and Josiah on the car washing:)The photos you took for your senior friend are fabulous!! YOU are truly TALENTED in PHOTOGRAPHY:) Josiah's scar is hardly visible. I know the whole family is looking forward to public school. Andy is so cute, and he has grown(looks much
fuffier). Playing in the rain looks like a lot more fun in Florida. I love your new shoes, Olivia!! All the pics of the family reunion are great! I can't wait to see them every year.
Where can I see more of the pics you took of Hannah?
Hey, it actually showed me that you had a new post??? Did you go unprivate? The picture about the party for the guy that didn't show up is hillarious! I'm still laughing at that one. Way to party on anyways :) I'm so proud of you guys for washing your own car. As cheap as I am, I still have not given up my $6 car wash.
Linds- I'll email you a few.
Tamra- I did make it unprivate. :) I thought, "Hey, it's been over a year now. Why not show my face again?"
And the washing the car thing has nothing to do with not having to pay but everything to do with Jay's wanting it just so. hehe
WOW! What an update my friend....Good grief...just makes us miss you all that much more!
I've been buying Ryan school supplies...SIGH....school....I'm ready...and then I'm kind of not...but mostly am! The kids are growing - I love Olivia's expression and playing/serving Andy. I can't even see where Josiah had his little wreck.
btw - How on earth do you paint Olivia's fingernails?....wow! So fun!!!!! (Eeeeeeee....I get to do this too!!!!)
i am so glad you went "unprivate". i will be able to watch your sweet family grow easier. wow you've got a lot going on and i love that puppy. what kind is it. is it an american as Tamra says. :)

Amy,
your boys are so darn handsome (jay too, of course) and olivia is gorgeous!
Thanks for writing -
Ryan
Ok, so I had no idea you take pictures!! I've always thought you did great photos, now I know why!! What kind of camera do you have? I bought a great one from lissa a few years back but I'm totally experimenting with it...
I love all the pics! Hannah looks like she fits right in with her red hair--gorgeous! Good pic, too. Unfortunately, I still haven't gotten a good feel of your old camera. I think focus is my issue. ha! Hysterical that Olivia thought her shoes were like Aunt Shanna's! Gee needs a close-up of Siah's nose to see how it's doing. SCHOOL!! You guys are gonna love it!
So much fun! I think your family is just precious, precious!! And the senior picture you took was wonderful! You are an excellent photographer!
Mindy- I think I need to take a close-up of Josiah's scar. It is better but you probably didn't notice it in the pictures because most of the pics were pre-wreck.
And you have to paint that little girl's nails fast!!
Tammy- The breed of dog is a Coton de Tulear. He's such a great dog!
Ryan- I hope you are enjoying Texas!
Danielle- I have a Nikon D80. I love to use it, but don't use it enough.
Mom- I think your China pics look fantastic!
Kayla- Thanks, you are sweet. :)
I love all the pics!! And I love Olivia's shoes but I'm not sure I have any that cute! Zach and I laughed so hard when we saw that! The pictures of Hannah are gorgeous, great job!! Thanks for the update!
Shanna- I'm not sure where Olivia came up with the shoe thing. I've never seen you wear anything quite that...remarkable. haha But she talks about you all of the time, so why not wear hot pink shoes like you?
Oh how I really miss you guys. LOVE the senior pics, can I see more??? My talented, oh so wonderful friend. I still wish we could shoot weddings together.
