Pre-Fourth


 We had a pre-Fourth of July cookout at our house tonight. It has been extremely hot these last few days. Today it was over 100 degrees!! Hot or not, it was a great evening for food, fun, and water activities. The kids played on the old slip 'n slide and tossed water balloons! Everyone had a great time.







Daddy got a new King KEG grill this week. He's having lots of fun with it. 
Mommy and the kids have enjoyed some wonderfully cooked meals :)

It's Been A While!

It really is amazing how time flies.  It's been a year since I last updated our blog! It's been a busy life around here!  We are loving our new home. We've taken a few nice vacations. Will has enjoyed playing both soccer and t-ball. This was his first year in Cub Scouts. He had an awesome year in first grade. He excelled on his MAP testing, scoring 98 percentile in math, and 96 percentile in reading! He is amazing! We are very proud of him. Shelby is growing faster than I can blink. She finished a great year in three year old preschool. She really enjoyed going to school each day and meeting new friends. It is funny to hear people say she has a motherly nature to her. Always wanting to help others. She is so lovable. She is not involved in any sports just yet, but plans to take up soccer, gymnastics, and ballet this year.

In May, we celebrated Will turning seven! It was a great party! The kids had a wonderful time.

Last soccer game of the season!
