Busy Week

This is going to be a hectic week because we leave for "Reno Volleyball Festival" on Friday. So lots of cleaning and preparing the house to be clean when we come home... love that! walking in after a long trip to a clean house. When we get home all of the Fam will be here Yeah!!!! Air soft wars and BBQ and family time with the Bro (Greg) , Karen, Gary, and Adissen...mom should be happy as a clam. I should clarify Reno for you, I will be rooming with 10 fifteen yr old girls! Pray for me please, that I can be a light to them. I am sure that I will walk away from the trip more blessed by them, then they by me. Praise God he always is faithful that way. here is a picture of Greg that Alec took when he came to visit for Christmas.... wish he lived closer :( this picture makes me laugh :)

Summer Hair Cuts!

here is a picture of Jeff and the boys with their new super cool hair cuts.... and a pic of all the hair I cut off of their heads yuk! They are trying to look tough like in thier football pictures. SCARY!

quote of the Day

"The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. "~ Charles Swindoll

I need to clean my house now peace out!

Girl!!

Gladys our bulldog gets really jealous so I had to post a picture of her too. Sorry I know that its weird..... my kids are out of the baby stages can you tell. I actually have time for this stuff.

"Mi Casa es su Casa"

Mom and I had to take a few snap shots of the House for this water board thing, they thought that we were still building and wanted some $......been living here for more than 3 years...hello!

Try to picture a driveway and grape vines.

Love living in the country, the kids found a tarantula the size of a baseball last night YIKES!!! Rachel said "it was ginormous!" when i told her that ginormous wasn't a word she was shocked, i haven't ever corrected her on it but apparently she thought she was saying gigantic, the funniest thing is that her 15 year old sister thought the same thing, I love kids they keep me so entertained! In the picture with my mom is our Newfie Jack isn't he handsome? He is getting a haircut in the morning I will post a picture of him after he gets his new style.

Ahhh Summer.....and Happy Fathers day

We did it!!! In one 4 day period we celebrated Rachel's promotion to 6Th grade, Em's promotion to 9Th, Rachel's B-day party, Pa-pa's (my dad) b-day party, Katlin's graduation party, and Father's Day. Pretty exhausting but Summer has officially begun so there is time to rest and regroup.

We only have 2 days before summer High school camps start. I love having kids that are good at their sport! I have so much fun watching them do the thing God has gifted them to do. How did I end up with kids who are so athletic? (married well I guess)

well... I am off to run errands and clean the casa.
