Bookend Boys

Matthew always wanted a brother. After having him and then 3 girls, Matt gave up on the idea of having one.Then I had Gabriel! At this point Matt really didn't care if he had a brother. Matt said he couldn't play football with him etc. Being 14 years apart what really could we do? Well, 5 years later, Matt loves his little Bro! As you can see by the picture the boys love each other. Gabe thinks Matt can do anything! I'm so thankful for my "bookend boys". God is so good!

Mexico or Bust

See this girl? She is loved and VERY missed by her Mother! That would be me! Becky is in Mexico on a missions trip. I know she's having a good time and not missing me like I'm missing her! But, that is OK. I was 14 once and most likely didn't miss my Mom while having fun!

My sweet husband left for Mexico Monday to join Becky and our church group. My husband is so sick! And to top it off the airport LOST his suitcase. I'm praying many souls will be saved this week!

Shopping Trip

Today my daughter Becky and I went shopping for some knee lengh skirts. She will be going to Texas and Mexico next week, and she felt shorter skirts would be cooler than her long skirts. We drove to 5 different stores and nobody and one little skirt! Frustration!

We also had lunch at Apple Bee's. Food was good but they charged 2.5o for pop/soda and the glass was FULL of ICE! Note to self, order water in all restaurnts!

I'm making these Yummy pork chops tonight! http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Baked-Pork-Chops-I/Detail.aspx I've made them 2 times before and the family Gobbled them down! I love to make things my family enjoys! All for now!

Hello!

Wow! It's been quite some time since my last post. I have been so busy my head spins just thinking about it! In the last month our church has had Vacation Bible School, Old Path's Tent meeting and then (Picture of my kids and my nephews and nieces, and niece in-law at camp) Camp! Next week my husband and daughter will be going to Mexico.

Tonight we had our family pictures taken. Our church is doing a directory for our members, thus you get a free photo, and then we bought other poses too. With a family our size, we hardly get our pictures done.

The summer is going by so fast! We Still are planning our family vacation. Hop fully in August. Before my son goes to College.

Have a nice night!

Family Time

I'm shocked that the weather is so beautiful today! 80 degrees! NO RAIN! My husband and I thought it to be a good day for the park! We had a blast! The kids played, we all walked around the park, and then later the kids got an ice cream at Dairy Queen. My oldest son Matt works and really doesn't have time for family outings....I knew this time would come. Matt starts College in the fall. I better get used to that! My husband is always so busy with ministry things.It was so nice to be out together as a family. We will be having VBS next week and then our Tent meeting will be in 3 weeks! Then we have Youth camp, then our youth group will be going on a missions trip to Mexico! No wonder our summer goes by so fast!

Calm before the Storm!

My daughter and I were walking in the park last night....This is how the lake looked 15 minutes before the wind started blowing! Boaters were making their way to shore! We started heading back for the car! The weather these days has been so unpredictable! It the year 2001 this very spot by the lake was hit by a tornado! Needless to say, I wasn't going to stick around much longer!
