Daddy and Kaitlyn (Aug. 28, 2007)

Kaitlyn wanted to come see Daddy at the fire station.

Fossil Rim Family Vacation (Labor Day Weekend)

We took our first official family vacation to Fossil Rim Wildlife Ranch. We all had a great time! Even Kaitlyn had a close encounter with a deer.

Austin and Kaitlyn enjoy a rest at the Overlook high above the ranch. They both really enjoyed getting to wear their safari hats while we toured the ranch.

Austin, Kaitlyn and Mommy trying to pose for a picture. I guess action shots will be our specialty.

Another great action shot.

The views were spectacular and everyone enjoyed all the adventures we took.

Austin caught this big snake. He carried it everywhere we went.

Jennifer finally got to meet her twin sister.

We all stayed at the Lodge in one room. It really wasn't too bad.

This guy is lucky he was in the fence. If I could have gotten him in the truck he would have been on my wall.

Onalaska Trip (Aug. 18-19)

Austin went out on the lake for the first time when we visited Grandma and Grandpa in Onalaska. At first he wasn't sure about it, but he quickly warmed up to the idea.

Daddy showed off some of his wake boarding moves....and some of his crashing techniques.

After a little convincing, Austin decided it was OK to join Mommy and Daddy in the lake.

This is the first time we all got to go down and attend the service at Paul's new church. He was very excited and we all had a great time.

Austin sure does love his little sister!




Firefighters run in the family.

First Trip to the Circus

In August we went to the circus in Dallas. Austin really enjoyed seeing all of the animals.

We invited some of our family to go with us. Blakely had a good time until the noises got a little loud for her.

We all had a good time and can't wait until Kaitlyn gets old enough to enjoy it as well.

Clowns aren't only in the circus!

Summer recap!!!!

Busy July
July was a busy month for the Massingills. We celebrated Austin's 3rd birthday, as well as Mommy and Daddy's 8th Wedding anniversary. Not to be forgotten, Kaitlyn shared her first smile with us this month.
