Guessing Game: Clue #1

July 11, 2011

I have really been enjoying my summer. It's been such a wonderful luxury to take time off from school and just give myself and my kids permission to just ride out the summer months. Our summer has been filled with lots of free time, play time, and pool time. We've sprinkled in a dance revue, countless play dates, and a birthday or two for good measure. We've even spent some time with sand between our toes. Summer isn't over yet, and neither is the fun. There are still several things on my "Summer Bucket List" that I'd like to accomplish before September. 

I've been posting lots of pictures of our adventures over the past few weeks, so, I thought that it would be fun to continue with that theme. There is something coming up, we'll refer to it as The Event for now. Over the next several days, I will post a picture Clue of what The Event is. Feel free to leave a Guess in the Comments as to what you think The Event may be. 

Clue #1:

"However, as it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived" - the things God has prepared for those who love him-" 1Corinthians 2:9

Dog Days of Summer

July 7, 2011

I know. I'm officially a loser. My blog has been thrown to the curb. For now. I will return to a more "regular" schedule. I promise. Maybe it's more of a warning than a promise, depending on how you feel about my blog.

We've been busy going about the business of getting every last drop out of our summer, and I've got the pictures to prove it.

I love how Brant is always trying to "get in" on the pic!

She's at the age where I have to BRIBE her to look at the camera and smile when I want to take her picture.

BUSTED! Trying to sneak in the "BIG" pool.

Unlike Brant, he was trying to AVOID me taking his pic! 

Looks like somebody got her way. But, she has to wear floaties if Mom or Dad is not in the pool. She has become such an amazing swimmer. It is UNREAL!

Looks like I might have bribed him, too.

Look my "gobbles", Mom!

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourself treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:19-21

Crossroads Church 4th of July Celebration

July 6, 2011

We've been busy ENJOYING our summer! We celebrated Independence Day at our church's event. It was absolutely AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

My girls sliding down the "crazy" slide, as Aubree called it! {I LOVE how Karli's hair is flying up as she flys down. It's absolutely Priceless!}

Drake riding the BULL!

Aubree had SO much FUN in all the different fun jumps, bounces, and slides! She was in toddler heaven!

Drake made it to the very top of the rock wall! He is the spider-man looking kid up there! Sorry about the pic quality. It's hard to achieve a good shot in this lighting with your phone.

Ride 'em cowgirl!

Brant enjoyed the horses so much he rode twice.

Brant riding the "waves".

Drake trying his hand at surfing!

Brant riding the bull.

No better way to end a wonderful day than with a sno-cone (or two!)

Yes. Karli was too cool for most of the "rides". I had to force her to slide with Aubree. Oh well. She LOVED the fireworks!

Sorry about the whole "neglecting my blog" thing. Some times, you've got to re-arrange your priorities!

"This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice, and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24
