Summer fun for the Smiths

We are having a great summer. In an attempt at keeping every one's sanity and getting the kids out of the house every day we have spent some quality time at the pool, library, grocery store, parks, Zoo and at Busch Gardens. This is us at Busch Gardens this past weekend.

Dallin has decided that he can play in the water at the Land of the Dragons, without holding our hand... which is nice considering it's getting harder to bend over and the water is only a few inches deep. He loves watching this water sprout and trying to capture the bubbles. He is growing so fast.
whoa check out that tummy, I have never been one to acquire a cute little outtie belly button... maybe someday... I am 27ish weeks and have just entered the getting awkward stage... perfect for moving to a new apartment.. don't you think?
Cameron is helping Dallin Capture bubbles.. what a great daddy he is.

Katelyn loves Busch Gardens... especially "Dragon Land" She tells us every day that she is going to "daggon lan amarrow" we are riding the carousel together... a favorite of my children.

An Introduction to the Durtschi Crew Blog

I honestly don't know if anyone will actually use this blog, but I'm going to set it up anyway. As we have grown up some of us have moved to 'far' off places like DC and Florida and therefore don't have the interaction we would like and this blog is designed to enable us to share the small little stories we wouldn't normally hear about. Whether it's about Chris, Katie and Jared's piano performances, David's date, Sarah's pageant experience, Steve's latest game, Elisabeth's and Cameron's moving stories, Carolyn's little annotates about her kids or mom and dad's 'lessons' from real estate investment we want to hear (read) them. And let's not forget pictures, especially of the kids who grow up so fast and change so much.

I'm not asking a lot, only a small post every month or so to keep us updated on your lives. This doesn't mean that you are limited to once a month. You are welcomed to post as often as you would like and as much as you like.

I love ya all
