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!!

2 Girls and a worm...

This past weekend it was so nice and sunny outside.  D was digging a "tunnel" in the yard and was bound and determined that it was going to end up on the other side of the privacy fence so he could spy on the neighbors.  Well, I guess the digging looked fun, because the girls decided to join in.  Everyone was having a fun time playing in the dirt.  I had to open my mouth and say "Hey, there's a worm!"  This was not a small worm, he was about 5 inches long.  So the girls got antiquated with "him" and put him in a cup.  They were holding him and showing him their sidewalk chalk, brought him in the house and he saw it all.  They wanted to give him a bath, so I had to explain that he is an "earth" worm, not a "water" worm.  He likes the dirt and that is how he lives. 

Fast forward 2 hours... I was not feeling well... (I had the stomach bug that has been going around) and started to get sick.  In between instances, I was sitting on the couch and could see into their bathroom that A was holding the cup the worm was in and was filling it with water.  I asked M, "Where's the worm?"  The response was, " We put him to bed."  (thinking that they put him back in the yard, I said OK and sat with my eyes closed and tried not to be sick again)  Then I asked, "Where'd you put him to bed at?"  M shows me that he is lying on the pillow of the bed nicely covered with their baby blanket.  "Ssshhh Mom, he's taking a nap!"  The worm was in the bed, stretched out on the pillow, covered with the blanket taking a nap! 

I love it that they have an imagination and I love it that both girls are interested in all kinds of animals and insects.  They used to be scared of spiders and flies and worms... now, they like to "baby" them and play with such things.  It is fun to watch them grow and to have stories like this to tell on them!  :)
