Fireworks are great. The kids are amazed at every one like they have never seen them before.

Jason. He looks like it's Christmas day. The big boys love fireworks more than the kids

Hannah & Megan

Fourth of July celebration. Happy birthday America. We are gathered as a family & celebrating With fireworks! It's the first year that Austin bought his own & helped light them.

Happy is the house that shelters a friend- Ralph Waldo Emerson

I saw this quote today & thought it was really great. I am so grateful for my friends & family in my life. Happiness is not how many things that I can acquire, but how many great memories I can create with those whom I love.
I was thinking to make it my Facebook status as I never have anything really great to use for my status. But since I just learned I can update my blog right from my phone I am just too excited about that!

Megans softball metal. Both her & Hannah will be playing fall softball this year.

Recital day. Hannah was beautiful & knew her whole dance. Her smile could not get any bigger or brighter

Austins baseball team won the city championship this year. It was exciting!

Bucket heads. We got this from Wendy's as the toy in the kids meal. It's too funny

Hannah in her recital costume. Dance was so much fun this year. The recital was pure craziness. The moms were so crazy & funny. They are 6 for heavens sake! I can't explain it, but here in the south dance is a series sport. Lol

Whatcha doing?

She's quite big...

Austin put all his giftcards & money into a new dsi xl. He loves to take pictures (lol) and record himself. Thanks to all those who contributed
Look at that grin.

Austin turned 9 years old June 16 th. Where did the time go? I feel like he turned 15, since he tries to be all grown up all the time. But he's still our sweet smiling AJ

Austin with some more birthday loot. So it's the 25th of June and he is still celebrating his birthday. The turning 9 will go down in history as the best birthday ever!

Hannah & Megan turn 6

I am so amazed. Our baby girls are in kindergarden and WOW!!! they are just awesome. Each day they turn into little tiny people and say & do the most adorable things. They get taller and taller and grow more and more with each passing month. I cant belive that they arent little babies anymore, it seems like last year they were tiny.

Uncle Adam comes for a visit

Adam, Ally & Tayler arrived on the day after Christmas. The girls were excited to have thier cousin here for thier birthday. The visit was short but we all had a good time hanging out and being together.

Christmas

So two months after Christmas I am posting something on this blog. I guess my resolution to keep it up has already failed. We had a really good holiday and are so blessed. The three wonderful children are such a amazing gift that I can never fully articulate that. James and Jennifer came to celebrate with us and we are so grateful to have great friends in our lives that are more like family. Austin caught a ton of fish with James. Jason's brother Adam came with Ally and Tayler. It was a truly wonderful holiday. Having Adam & family here was awesome. The kids were just enthralled with thier cousin and cant wait to go to North Carolina & visit this summer.
