A Friends Day Out

Last weekend Breann's friend Gracie came over and we had a great weekend. I took them to have their nails done and we went shopping. Then on Sunday we went to church. Great times! :)

Spending Time Outdoors

One day, a week or so ago, we decided to spend some time outdoors. It was late evening, almost dark, but we had a good time! The kids played football and I took pictures while they made memories.

I also got a photo that evening of Easter lilies growing in our yard. God is the greatest artist, He decorates our world with such beautiful things, we just need to take the time to notice them!











I'm so blessed! We have such a great God! :)

Bible Studying...

  I love the pictures we get of life...you know...no poses! This is one of the most important things that can happen in Breann's life. She had no clue I was taking this picture...she's sitting on the couch reading her Bible. It's no unique picture, but it's one of the best pictures ever of her...because of what she has in her hands...the Lord's word! I love she spends time reading God's word without being told to...she chooses to do it!   This post is also in the Members Area! 

Snow October 2012

  Here is the snow we got due to weather from the side of Hurricane Sandy. The kids and I even built a snowman (even though the snow melted rather quickly) and it held a sign saying "Thanks Sandy"...our snowman made the news!  :)


Troy decided to spend the time he spent inside by building a tower out of change. He also wrote me this note telling me how many pennies he counted.

A Fun Fall Day!

A fun day at home, making snacks (a veggie bar and "Snickers Caramel Apple Salad"), and making forts!

Our dog, Bo was put up in the building for a bit, because he kept knocking the kids fort over, but once they let him back outside, he was happy to do it again, and then play with a soccer ball ontop of it!

Corn Maze 2012

Justin, the kids, and I went on our first trip to the Corn Maze this weekend.  We had so much fun!!  There were 10 "punch stations" and we found them all!  We also got the kids pumpkins there and then came home and their snacks were popcorn balls.

A very blessed day...great day!!

Kids VBS 2012!

The kids attended VBS (Vacation Bible School) last week at a nearby Church that we have been attending.  They took friends and they all learned even more about God and had fun while doing so.  They made crafts, had a program, and they each received awards for Perfect Attendance and for bringing a friend!!  The kids also thought it was pretty fun that a member of the Church who also helped host the VBS offered to dress up like a clown if at least a certain number of kids knew their Bible memory verse...and she had to dress up like a clown on the day of the program!  :-)

A Fun Day of Swimming and Even More Firsts!

This past weekend we spent a fun day at the swimming pool.  Breann had a very interesting day as well, as she jumped off of the low diving board without any floats for the first time, which I also have a video of, and Troy jumped off of the diving board (including the high diving board), but he still has to have floats at this point, but he still does super, (and I also happen to have a video of that)!!

Even at 11 and 8 years old, I realize that my two kids have had many "firsts" in their lives (such as first steps, first words, etc.), and even at this age they are still growing and learning.  I am so happy to be their Mom and experiencing these firsts, seconds, thirds, and so on and so on with them!!  I am definitely blessed to be called their Mom!

Anyhow, it was a fun day at the pool this past weekend, marked with another "milestone" and even more memories.  I am so thankful for the memories that we have created, the ones that we are creating, and the ones we will create.  Have I said it already?  I am blessed!

FUN Snow Day!

We haven't got much snow this year, but one day it snowed just enough for me and the kids to get outside and play just a bit and build some snowmen.

Our Evening of Bowling

This past weekend we took the kids bowling.  They were SO super excited, as they have been asking to go for a few weekends now, and we decided to go ahead and take them for a fun, eventful evening.  And...might I say...Justin is so much better at bowling than I am, but it was fun!!  Plus, the kids had a great time!!

Fair 2011

This past week was the fair and while it rained a huge part of the week, we were able to enjoy the fair on the weekend.  My mom came over and spent the weekend so the weekend was filled with shopping, going out to eat, visiting a nearby overlook and going to the county fair. 

At the fair we saw Craig Campbell in concert, and Saturday the kids got to ride unlimited rides!

Kids Vacation Bible School 2011!

The kids have been having such a great summer.  Just a few weeks ago they attended Vacation Bible School at a church that some of our friends go to.  They each really love Vacation Bible School and had such a great time!!  Here is the certificate they received for going to the VBS...but just being able to have them to learn about God and have fun while doing so is reward enough!!

The Kids Day of Fishing...

The kids went Saturday to a kids fishing day tournament.  Neither of them caught anything, but they had a lot of fun!!

The Kids Trip to the Zoo!

Last Sunday, the kids had a field trip with their youth group. It was SO MUCH fun!! We went to a nearby zoo and then had a picnic at a nearby park.

My husband also caught some funny pictures...in two of the group pictures...you will see where the group is taking a photo near the monkey cage and a monkey is trying to get Troy's dollar. LOL
