Like Daddy

Boys will be boys!

A couple days ago Ethan comes into the house with a HUGE snake to show me. After trying to be as nice as possible so that he would not be disapionted, I asked him to return it to the yard. A few minutes later his daddy shows up with a little aqiarium and some worms. WOW! I dont think so!!!! Needless to say I did not win and Ethan now owns a snake. A SNAKE!! I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that I have a son and that these things are something I need to get used to. Joel assures me that it is not poisonous and it will not hurt anyone. I have to admit the little thing is growing on me. : )

I love my sweet little boys!!

p.S. I told you he was big!! ; )

Starting School

Wow, I cant believe my little ones are old enough to start school. Today we got up and tried our school sched for the first time in three months. I have to say it didn't quite go as planned but there is some hope it will get better. : ) I do think we are off to a good start and I'm looking forward to the year to come. (sometimes)

The pics are from Sat. My mother-n-law and I took the kids to CC for a back-to-school celebration. We had a blast watching the kids have fun. They ate gross pizza and played all the games they could with the tokens that we gave them. We were not able to stay to long because it was clear that everyone else in Lake Charles had the same idea. : )

Well, the kids are about to be done with their "wiggle time" and need something else to do. Its such a blessing to be a mom of three very precious children!

Love to all!!

It hot outside!

Today we had a blast at Tristan's birthday party. He is my friends little boy that turns one this month. They had it at a park that has a little water play area and the kids had so much fun. As you can see, we had red cake and the kids were enjoying it. : ) God has blessed me with such great friends.

Love to all!!

It hot outside!

Circus fun

Wednesday the circus was in town so we decided to take the kids. It was a huge tado but after an hour and a half of waiting, we got our tickets. It was well worth it though. It was SO much fun. We got there early so the kids were able to do some really fun things with the performers. They let Austyn walk on the tight rope, and she was so cute. They also put them all in a line and did juggling arround them. I was very nervous but the kids loved it. This was a great family outing. : )

Its been awhile

Sorry its been so long! These last three months have been extra extra full but I think its beginning to slow down. I thought I would do just a few of the highlights of what has been going on. To the right there is a slide show to kind of give you an idea. If you click on it, it will get bigger.

All of us had a great time going to four different VBS's and planning two of them. The planing took the whole week before the VBS actually started. : ) We had a blast though and learned some pretty awesome things that will stick with us forever.

One thing that they learned was to serve our community. The kids and some of their friends did a bake sale for a family that lost their house in a fire. It was really awesome to see the kids work so hard and raise so much money. It ended up being a huge thing that the news and paper came out for. I will try to post the link so if you want to see it. The pictures of the kids getting to see the house and some at the bake sale are included in the slide show. The family was so grateful and even came to church with us one Wednesday. What a blessing!!

These are the main things among many that we did this summer. I'm looking forward to it being slower and praying with school starting that we will have some calmer days. We were greatly blessed though and thank God for the great summer we had. I hope and pray all of you have had a great one one too.

Love to all!!
