Something to Celebrate...

 At our house we have 6 BIRTHdays a year.

So of course I needed some updated decorations.

It's almost time for Whitney's 9th birthday, and I have been

 want to get a banner for the Mantel.

So this is what I have come up with so far to go with it.

Summertime....

I seriously can't believe it the end of July already. Where does the time go? So in ahh of summer, hot, fun, water, giggles, togetherness, popsicles and all that wonderful stuff. Here are some pic of the kids at the pool. It's a good life. I tell ya, I think they had a BLAST.

WE all had a great day. I truly enjoy sharing this journey with my kids.

I see bits of there personalities that are the same and some that are not even close

to the same, each one is there OWN. 

I see Tender, I see Tough, I see Sweet, and most of the time Nice. But it

is OURS, and we choose to make the

BEST of it..

Cousins, Cabin, Cox's!!

Well it was that time of year again. Time to head to the Cabin with the Cox's. The weekend was full of food, 4 wheelers, hiking, shooting guns, kids playing in watering troft, conversations, games, firepit, laughter and all sorts of goodness. The cousins range from ages 14 to 3 months old. We missed having Shandra's and Colt's families with us. I know that the kids will always remember the time they spent together. I am grateful for the memories made this weekend.

What a wonderful 4th of July weekend. I am so thankful to enjoy the freedoms we have to celebrate in our great nation. I am so grateful to live in the land of the free. We had a busy weekend full of family, friends, fireworks, Brad Paisley, swimming, food, and most of the time pure silliness and laughter.
