Some of the best things in life are free! (Viva el mullet)

On the 4th Amber and I went and had a windy picnic at Flushing Meadows park (home of the Mets, the U.S. Open...and some rockin' futbol jugadores) It was a treat.

Rock'n Roll

As you can see Spence is a four-wheeler dreamer! Of course he cheated death by merely sitting on the bad boy. Sammy also loved it, however Spence hogged the power.









Heidi took took the boys to the beach with her sister Stephanie. As you can tell, it was a total vaction. Anyone for the beach for five days with five kids!

Oh feel free to comment. I believe someone changed he defaults so we can "comment" on each other's postings.

The California Doxeys Surface!

It's been a long, long time since we've posted anything, but we look at the blog all the time. Here are a few photos of the latest and greatest!

Happy Blog Anniversary

We have had the blog for one full year!!!

Hey Matt--Are you missing some pants???? Sorry--we'll get them to you soon! Zack's found them really handy!! Happy 4th of July--we'll have to send pix of the 4th in Fort Collins!

So sewing is harder than most might think!!!

Just wanted to share with everyone what was going on all day on Saturday...and I mean all day. The Doxey girls and Miss Cosi Young were sewing pajama bottoms. The girls gained a new appreciation for unstiching something...tedious work!! The pajama bottoms turned out so cute!! The girls even made bean bags with their extra material and were gracious enough to make Sam and Spencer some. They weren't your ordinary bean bags by the way- they made a star shaped one, a football, and Ellie even got a snake. In closing, we wanted the girls to know that the first thing Spencer asked for when he came out of his room this morning was for his football and star!!!
