The Beach

We just got back from a week at the beach with my whole family!! What a great time! We were able to swim and build sand castles and just relax. I think this was the best vacation that I have ever had. I am not sure if it was the beach or the family or both. We took so many pictures and created so many memories I can't even begin to write them all down!! It was a great gift from my parents and one that we will remember always. Thanks Mom and Dad!

More Summer

We have done some more things this summer. Sklyar has been part of Daisy's and she got the opportunity to go to the Tin Caps game and then we were going to spend the night but there was a tornado warning. Here are some photos from the game!

Warm Weather!

My girls were so excited about the warm weather and have been begging for days to get their pool out! We finally gave in tonight and got it out! I am thinking that we are going to be spending a lot of time outside this summer. Why do I have to have two of the whitest kids in the world? Here are some photos of all three and then the clean up later!


My three looking at the dog and not the camera!


I think this is one of my favorite pictures ever! This little girl loves her daddy and vice versa!


The clean up! Be glad you could not see the water!

Too long!

It is amazing how crazy life gets! I have been meaning to post something for the past few months but then I get doing other things! Here are some photos to update what we have been doing since the last post!



Easter!
Skylar's 7th Birthday

Lizzy's 4th Birthday

Thoughts!

Some thoughts as I sit here and look out the window at the beautiful sun shining.

* be thankful for what you have today because it might change tomorrow

* love your children for who they are and not what you want them to be

* what you choose to spend your time on shows your priorities in life

* become involved in something just for you

* support those things that are important to you

* take time to enjoy your life that you have worked to hard to create

Have a wonderful Friday and for those that the sun is shining on today enjoy it!!!

Long Time

It has been a long since I posted anything! Life has been busy, as usual. The girls are growing at a really fast rate. It is crazy to think we are already looking to summer and the family vacation we have planned! The girls are excited and so are the parents. Since Christmas we have been blessed with the Harter's coming to town to have little Lillian baptized. I was especially blessed to be a godparent and to have one of my other godchildren be a godparent with me! What a blessing to be able to help guide a child to be closer to God!

Christmas

Christmas is always a time for family. We had the added bonus this year of going to see Jen & Gage and meet little Lillian. Skylar was so excited to see her and she did not disappoint when she first got to see her. We spent a week out in Richmond and the girls all got a lot of time to play together. We had a blessed Christmas full of family time and presents. We now have more toys than we know what to do with but that is a sign that my children are loved by many people!

As I sat at thought about the new year and what I wanted it to hold, there was a flood of things that came to mind. Then I had that overwhelming feeling that I get a lot when I try to get a lot accomplished. There are so many things that I want this year to hold for myself and my family! I realized that the only way to start was to turn everything over to God and spend more time with Him and everything else will fall into place. With His help I can accomplish many things that I would not be able to on my own!

I pray that each of you reading this will find that peace that I am searching for! Have a wonderful 2010!!!!
