Mrs. Debbie is the wife of our discipleship Pastor at church and there grandchildren Hunter and Anisley were in town for a few days. EC and Ainsely got to be friends at VBS. The Treehouses were so much fun and the kids had a blast running around and playing.

End of the Summer Musical







The girls attended North Hills Day Camp this summer threes days a week while I went into the office. They did a different theme camp every two weeks. They had cooking, art, music, outdoor adventures, and sports camp. They had a blast. The last week they did a performance for the parents with a musical and art show. The girls did a great job. Ella even had a special little part where she walked down the aisle blowing bubbles. She was so proud of herself.

Summer Days at the Lake
















We love spending the weekends at my parents house on the lake. We have so much fun out on the water. The girls love hanging out with their cousins and playing in the water. We always have a wonderful time. Here are some pics from this summer at the lake.

EC turns 6!!!
















Yes, you read this right, We have a six year old. As you may know, EC and my mom's bdays are one day apart. So, we started the celebration at the lake with all of my family. We had a blast. My parents gave EC her fave gift. That was an ipod touch. She loves it. My brother and his family gave her a precious outfit. Abbey can always find a cute, but funky outfit to fit EC's taste. My aunt and Uncle and cousin Katie were there can gave her an itunes gift card. She love downloading new songs.





The following Monday she had some friends over for a peace sign swimming party. Her cake was too cute. A lady at our church made it for her and she an AWESOME job. I can't believe that my sweet girl is 6!!!!

We are still alive!!!

I hope to be able to stay caught up and not get this far behind again. So, keep checking in as I catch you up on our crazy, wonderful life.

Lord, Please draw near to us

Over the past couple of months many families and people dear to me have faced and are facing heart ache. A young lady by the name Kasi Carroll that I have gotten to know in the past year and grow to admire and love was diagnose with breast cancer a couple of months ago. Kasi's husband and I have know each other forever. Kasi's sister died in August with cancer.
The next is Mrs. Jeanette Tate who is an amazing woman and anothe member of our church along with Kasi. Mrs. Jeanette's family is dear to me. One of her grandaughter's Kristen is one of my best friends. Mrs. Jeanette has a brain infection and is in ICU and has been there for several weeks.
The latest is my teenage Sunday school teacher Cindy Gaught. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor this week and had surgery today. Cindy was the person who lead me to Christ at age 17. She has stage 4 cancer that is very aggressive.
My heart breaks for all three of these families. All I can do is pray for them. They are all strong Christian ladies with amazing faith. I admire each of these ladies for many reasons. I ask each of you reading this to join me in praying for these dear ladies and there families. We serve a God who hears our prayers and works miracles.

I am not a crafty person. But, I have surprised myself the last couple days. I went to Hobby Lobby and got some supplies to do some little projects. I made some gifts for my new sweet niece and nephew that I will meet Tuesday and some flip flops for my girls and Olivia. I got a circut machine for my birthday and made some letters to decorate gift bags.
