Back to School !!!

Well... summer is over and school is about to begin.  The kids have had lots of swim time and relaxation this summer.

We had a beach trip... went to Galveston for a week.
We have had 40 days of temperatures over 100 degrees... stayed inside as much as possible.
We have volunteered and delivered meals on wheels... great experience for the children.
We had bible school at our church... was fun for Aspen to experience.
We had several camps this summer... football for Drew and basketball and cheer camp for Macie.
We have had time to sleep in... Drew and Aspen slept in until 11am some days.
We have finished decorating rooms and getting moved in... We LOVE our new house!!!
We have painted toes and fingers several times this summer... and even bought fake nails to apply and wear.
We have ridden bikes thru town... very relaxing. : )
Macie lost a tooth, Aspen's hair has grown longer, Drew got to have a mohawk... we all have great tans!!
Most of all... I have gotten to spend time with my kids and have enjoyed every moment of it... thanks to my AMAZING husband!!!

Bye Bye Summer 2011!!!

School year 2011 - 2012.... Here We Come!!!

Love

There is no way to describe such a bond that exists between you and your soul mate. You know you've found that person when you can finish each others sentences, when you call them to see how their day is going and just by hearing their voice it puts you in a better mood, when you are thinking something and they say it, when they are gone for less than a day and you can't wait until they walk in the door and you are able to just be in the same room as them, when you know that they are always telling you the truth and there is 100% trust in that person, when you tell someone that you love them and you know that they are loved by you and you are loved just as much in return. Soul mates are your best friend, loving, provider, supporter, encourager, straight forward, protector, big hearted, patient, kind... And the list goes on....

Some people never find their soul mates... I'm so lucky to have found mine!!!

I love you Marcus!

Aspen went to VBS this year.... And LOVED it!!!

 At Vacation Bible School...

In the kitchen... she found her Daddy's gloves

and thought she would help while we were cooking!!

Aspen had fun at bible school and has been learning to swim this summer!

Just ask... she'll tell you, "I can swim with NO floaties!!!  All by myself in the pool!"

And she's right... she learned pretty quickly.  She goes off the diving board all by herself!

Aspen, You're Awesome!!!

I Love You!!
