Summer

I can't believe it has been over a month since my last blog, it has also been weeks since I have even logged on to the Internet.

Bo turned 4 on the 16th of July Dasiy turned 2 on the 11th of July we had a great party with a petting zoo and all the kids friends we had pony rides and a pinata it was a great party!

We went to Hilton Head for vacation it was just amazing! We meet Zack and Jess and kids on a Saturday and we all stayed until the next Sunday, we rented a boat we fished we swam we shopped we ate, all in all the kids had a great time and so did we! We really miss them and are already looking forward to Thanksgiving and our time together again.

My Grandma is home from the hospital and is doing well, we go to her pre-op check up with the cancer surgeon on Monday.

My Mother got an apartment and will be moving out in a week or two and my grandparents have rented a house and will move after her surgery. We will take the next few weeks to get their house unpacked and put away so moving in will be easy.

I am ready to have our home back to ourselves, I must say this was so much harder than I ever expected! It has truly been a long summer! I have learned a few life lessons 1. it does not matter how old you are you need your family 2. I can not live with my mother 3. My children need my attention more than anyone else 4. Don't bite off more than you can chew 5. Use what God gives you and let his glory shine. 6. When the going gets tough just smile.

We are full force in football again... This is Luke's second year and he is great! He is a little terminator! daddy has taken on the responsibility of head coach of 11, 5-6 year old boys teaching them the fundamentals of little league football. I have taken on the roll of team mom (I am really trying not to bite off more than I can chew it is still a work in progress) So we are at football Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 6 to 8 for practice and on Saturdays for games.

Daddy is taking on the roll of small group leader for our bible study on Wednesdays and I will also be leading the womans group in the morning starting up mid september.

We are getting ready to kick off our second year of homeschooling first grade is a whole new ball game! We go from 2 subjects to 5 and we start some preschooling with Bo.

I hope to catch up with all my blog time as my time is spread a little less thin..
