Our Summer "Kick-Off"

We had our first "official" party to kick off the summer today and I was so busy enjoying myself I only took a few pictures!! In fact we had so much fun that we forgot and didn't cut this delicious watermelon until all of our guests had left. Doesn't watermelon just scream summer!!!!!
We were almost too full after eating this yummy chicken that Paul had smoked all morning. We still managed to force ourselves to endure home made ice cream, Chocolate Layer Cake, Cream Cheese Pound Cake, and Mile High Strawberry Pie!!
Here's a peek at Clara Beth and Geordyn finishing off one of the pies. Don't worry they worked all of those sweets off splashing around in the pool.
After everyone left I found this on the couch and........................
this little fellow went straight to his room and climbed in bed!!! What a way to start the lazy days of summer. We can't wait for more good times with family and friends. Only seven and a half more days until school is OUT!!!! Let's just say that we are more than a little excited about that!!

Until next time.......................................


Luke 21:30 NIV
When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near.


Summer is so close!!!!

Back to the Beach!!!!

We've just returned from a long weekend at the beach!! We had so much fun over spring break we couldn't wait to go back. We left Thursday afternoon full of excitement. Anna Kayla joined us on Friday(Greg couldn't make it on this trip). We missed him but we all had a very good time together. It was our anniversary trip. Just like us to take the WHOLE family along!!! Here's a little group hug in the sand!

My little sweeties holding hands going down the slide together.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

I hope all of you had a wonderful Mother's Day like I did. Here's the beautiful pin and card that Emanuiel made for me. Can you tell he is very proud of his creation.

Clara Beth painted a pretty little pot for me and planted flowers in it at Mrs. Dawn's house. Her card matched her pot.

Two of my four sweeties. We all celebrated together with lunch at our house. I didn't have to do much, most of my preparation took place on Saturday. Afterwards Paul was on clean up duty and he did a great job!! It was a wonderful day that was even made more special because Emanuiel was dedicated during our morning church service.

Until next time.....................

Matthew 19:19 NIV

Flowers

We are enjoying the first roses from our yard. This particular rose bush was a gift to Paul on the first Valentine's Day after we were married. We have uprooted it and moved it with us three times. It is almost 25 years old and each year it has the most beautiful and fragrant roses.

Until next time.....................
I hope you are enjoying pretty things from your yard and garden.


Song of Solomon 2:12 NIV
Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.
