Settling into Summer

We are having a great summer. The girls and I have spent many days at the pool. Alex is swimming like a fish with the rest of her sisters -- she tries her best to keep up. Ashton and Alyssa are having a fun summer together. They have made a few new friends, but they mostly hang out with each other. I love to see them enjoying their time together. Abby is so excited about starting kindergarden -- we register next week! It's hard to believe I'll have 3 in school this year. :)





Can you believe Alex turned four years old this summer?!?! She is such a blessing and a joy to be around. She hasn't had any trouble making new friends. She talks to anyone that looks her way and always brings a smile to everyone around her.

Lance has been very busy at church. Our church has "adopted" a foster family with 11 children with special needs. Their house was is very bad shape so we are doing an extreme makeover at their home! This weekend their will be over 600 volunteers that with be working at the house. Everyone has volunteered for 4 hour shifts and many are doing multiple shifts!! It will be an exciting weekend. I can't wait to share pictures.

I'm working more than ever. I'm staying busy with my usual weekly work, but I'm also in charge of organizing all the volunteers for the foster home!!

Life is crazzzzy around here, we love you and miss you all very much. I love hearing from you, so keep in touch!

Mother's Day

What an awesome weekend!! Lance came home for a visit. He surprised the girls -- I have never heard that level of scream before when he pulled into the driveway. They were excited to say the least. I have a whole new appreciation for Lance, I don't ever want to do this without him again!! We had a great time just hanging out as a family. Lance also gave me some much needed time off.

Great News!! We sold our house -- we close May 31 -- Isn't God great -- everything is falling into place perfectly. We will be sleeping in our new house for good June 1st!

We headed to Arlington for Mother's Day. I got to spend the day with my mom -- She is my best friend. I am so blessed to have a mom who has been such a role model for me, as a woman, a wife and a mother. She is my support and I don't know what I would do without her. "Thank you for being my MOM"

We had lunch at my Aunt Leigh and Uncle Rod's house. The men served us for the day and they did an awesome job. I have a wonderful group of women in my life and I think I'm just about the luckiest one. My grandmother is an amazing woman who has pasted down a solid legacy of faith to her family. My Aunt Leigh is such an encouragement to me and I always love to be in her home, she is a wonderful mother and very special woman in my life. What a great day!!
