The summer went by fast & we all had to find new ways to stay cool. Julia & Rachel's favorite was the water hose on the trampoline. We finished up swim team, took a quick camping trip to Payson, dropped off Julia for GS camp. Then it was back to school already- 7th grade for Madi, 5th for Julia; Rachel started a new pre-school. In the last 2 months Rachel has left her crib for big-girl bed and potty trained. She is changing so quickly; I wish I could just freeze time. Julia's Grandma Sue took her & Sidney to American Idol Live for her birthday--can't believe Julia is already 10. We visited Tempe Fire Station #3 on 9/11. Just took a trip out to LA to see the Longhorns take on UCLA. It was great to see another McCoy-Shipley combo. We are getting ready for Fall Break & Halloween and hoping that cooler weather comes soon. It was 107 on the first day of fall.
