Summer!!




Wow, I cannot believe that we are over halfway done with June. We have been busy, busy but it has all been very good. Michael and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary at the beginning of the month and had a fun four days in Las Vegas. Neither one of us had ever been there and with the cheap flights we thought that it would be a fun place to visit. We had a great time together and had never been away from the boys for this long. We both really missed them but enjoyed the time to relax, eat good food, talk, and just hang out. The boys had a fun filled week with our sweet Kelly who takes such good care of them when we are gone. The next week was just spent getting things back together from being gone and to get ready to go again! We left Father's Day Sunday and headed to Michael's Dad's to spend the week. Our church kid's camp was only five minutes from Papa Brown's so we camped at his house and went back and forth to camp throughout the week to help out. We had such a great time. I was in charge of crafts and Michael was the beach cop while the kids went boating at Lake of the Woods. Logan and Luke had such a great time doing so many fun things. Exploring the woods, playing in the creek, worshiping at chapel time with all the kiddos, ATV rides with Daddy and Papa, and of course all the love that all the little mother's at camp give! I loved that we as a family got to hang out at camp and that the boys got to experience some adventures. Logan's highlight was getting to ride the school bus with all the girls and Daddy as they went to the lake on Wednesday. It was a wonderful week to experience the Lord's creation and for Logan and Luke to see all the kids having fun and praising our Lord! It brought tears to my eyes all week as I saw all the boys and girls having so much fun and the wonderful counselers that took time out of there busy summers to invest in these kiddos. The Lord is good and he blessed my heart this week. Tomorrow my Dad arrives and he will stay at least a week because he is going to replace our fence for us. It is a big job and we are so thankful that he is coming to do it. The boys and I will try and stay out of the way as I know they will want to "help" but that will not be much help. I hope you all are having a great summer so far.

Happy Father's Day




Michael is such a great Daddy! We love you Daddy and are so thankful that the Lord has blessed us with you. Thank you for all that you do to make our family so special. What would we do without your hugs, funny songs, tackling games, and just your all around love for your boys! Today we will head to Michael's Dad's in Rocky Point to enjoy a yummy spaghetti dinner and some basketball watching I am sure. We will be up there all week as our church Kid's Camp is about 5 min. from Michael's Dad's so we will spend the week helping out at that. Lastly to my Dad. What an amazing Dad that you have been to me! I love you so much Dad and I am so proud to call you Dad! You are such a caring and compassionate person and I have so many fond memories of my childhood and have loved making new memories now as an adult. Thank you for who you are and the love that you show.
