Who wants to buy new garbage cans?

I really think Asher would so he can have these full time. I'm not one to pigeon hole a child into one thing but this drumming thing is a daily occurrence and now every Thursday morning after the trash gets picked up we had outside for a good drum session.

Happy 40th to a fabulous man!

I'm the luckiest woman in the world. I hope you don't mind me sharing a few photos of you. You are my best friend and I love doing life with you. You are an amazing father and I learn from you every day. Keep walking with the Lord. I love you, Brad! Happy 40th Honey!

First Day of First Grade

Sad day for Asher and I when we realized that the school year has started for everyone else now and we are home alone. Abby started today and she was excited to put her new back pack to use. Asher had a hard time seeing everyone get on the bus and then when he realized Dad was headed back to work he really let out all his emotion and we had to go take a bike ride and get his mind off of the fun everyone else was having and that it was just the two of us for the WHOLE day. I'm looking forward to some one on one but man, I do miss Caroline, Caleb and Abby dearly. Praying for a great day at school kids!!!

Bye Guys

They are really going :(

First Day

Caleb had his first day. Caroline too. Abby met her teacher today but doesn't start til Thursday. After Caleb got on the bus Asher broke out the tears and cried. When he got off the bus Asher ran to him and said, " I cried when the driver took you away." Too cute. I really missed my kids today and dread when Abby goes on Thursday, but even I have to get get use to this school thing!

More family Pics

Not to bore you but here's more vacation picture.

Twins - can you tell whose who

a BIG family vacation!

We had a wonderful time with a BIG family vacation with my side of the family in Florida. I have 5 siblings so that made for 28 of us gathering together on the beach. We were missing three of us and really wished they could have joined us. The time was spent on the beach and in the pool. We had tons of jelly fish and our share of stings. We also had two days of only getting into the ocean to our hips due to a tropical storm that his two states away. We had amazing weather, wonderful food and a great time visiting and catching up with family. My family traveled from Chicago, Kansas City, Naples, Cincinnati and Mexcio to be there. Asher woke the next day after we had gotten home and said, "where are MY BOYS?" meanings all his boy cousins he hung out with all week. Although, my brother has the all together family pictures (that I haven't gotten yet, hint, hint) here are some smaller groups of my family.

Happy Birthday, Abby!!!

My girl was born 7 years ago today. Time has flown by!!!! Abby, God has made you like no other!!! You are a leader and a social queen. You have a great sense of humor and appreciate the appearance of things. We love you Abby and can't wait to see what God has in store for you this year!!!
