More Birthdays 2013

 

Elyssa’s 5th birthday party, from August 18th. My last baby is FIVE!? How did that happen. Love you sweet girl!!

 

We also had a small party for Brandon who turned 22! Big numbers! ;)

 



Tennessee Family

 

Got to spend an awesome day with some of our Tennessee family. Gina, Vickie, Glenna and Wilma. It was nice and I think Gram enjoyed her visit with them. A little sad that no one came to see them besides me and my Mom though. Sometimes I feel like our “big family” is growing smaller and smaller…..but praying they we all realize the importance of staying close and being there for each other.

 



Homeschooling! Fall 2013

 

I’ve spent the summer thinking, praying and feeling led to homeschool my children. They’ve just had a hard time since we moved them here two years ago. I never imagined that Mike would go for it, but I finally discussed it with him and he DID agree to try it. That’s a definite God thing :o)
So next week we embark on a new journey, using an online school. For now we’re just trying to enjoy the last bits of summer weather! 

Puppy Love

 

Lyssa fell asleep on the floor….and someone stole her blanket!!

 



Ethans Birthday 2013

 Happy birthday Ethan. Hard to believe he’s 11 years old today! He’s so super smart and has a big heart. Tonight we had taco salad (his request) and brownies. We’ll be having a bonfire party on Saturday for him. Love you Ethan!!

 



Right Again :)

 

I was totally right about my brother and Toni. They are now engaged and getting married on October 5th. I’m so happy for them! I like her a lot and its great to see my brother in love again!
