7 Years Ago.....

7 years ago today the Lord saw fit to change our lives, Will was born and we are forever blessed.

Will is a sweet natured, big hearted, wonderful little boy. He lives to play all things sports related- except for soccer, which he reminds us of when we bring it up! He is funny, he is a great big brother to Alex and a sweet friend. I can't believe that he is going into the 2nd grade. It seems like yesterday I put him in a stroller for the first time to go to the mall. To my first born, may your day be all you hope for and this next year be the best one yet! We Love You!

Happy Birthday Will!

Happy 4th of July...

We spent our day at home...It has been wonderful! Mike cooked ribs, we had fries, hush puppies and brownies for dessert. The kids have played in the back yard and we have enjoyed each other as a family.

We hope your 4th was blessed! May we never forget why we are able to celebrate this amazing day. Thanks to all the men and women who fight for our freedom, we are so proud of you!

Summer Time, Weddings, and Father's Day...

Wow, we are quite the busy crew! I think I said that in my last post. I love staying at home and this last week was the perfect week to start. We had some dear friends get married on Saturday, we went swimming last week, Mike even got to go. Father's Day was yesterday and we celebrated with good food and family, what can be better!

We are preparing for our week today by staying in and cleaning house and doing laundry! But I wanted to check in and show you some precious pictures I took this weekend. I think I am going to take some photography classes, I really enjoy it! Be Blessed....

BUSY....

Okay, not a good excuse, but the only one I have! We have started summer around here and I am in my last few days of work. I gave my notice and I feel so blessed to be getting to come "back home" to stay with the boys! Monday is my last day!

Will finished up school last week, he is now a 2nd grader. Wow, time flies... He made it all year with Straight A's. I know it is only the first grade, but we are proud none the less. We have been swimming already this summer and are looking forward to some great fun since mommy gets to be home with them.

Alex doesn't really get what summer means, he thinks he is going to school to see all his friends, he packs his back pack almost daily with stuff to show his friends. Too cute.

Mike took a little mini vacation and we redid our office last week too. It looks great and I sit here typing from our "new" office. He did a great job, with a little of my help. We are proud of how it turned out. He is busy with work and trying to take it as easy as he can, his back is still touch and go, but better more often than not anymore. Okay, I think that updates us all. I will close with a picture of my sweeties...Be Blessed...

My Reasons....

No matter how bad it seems, or what seems to be going on, this is what makes it a better place to be. These little faces, getting bigger every day, are the reason I do all the things I do. Plus, the wonderful man they call daddy. Hope your mother's day was as spectacular as mine! Be Blessed...
