Father's Day 2011

Father's Day!

Trevin had to wear a tie like big brother

Benjamin took our picture after we got home from gospel mtg & a quick stop at Jamba Juice!

Happy Father's Day!

The good & perfect heart is...

Soft enough to be touched,
Hard enough to die to self,
Big enough to overlook the faults of others,
Small enough so there is no room for self,
Strong enough to conquer the battles,
and Weak enough to feel our need of God.

Water Buddies

Both boys love the water...however the super convenient Spray - Fountain WaterPark which just opened this week did not make it onto Trevin's top 10 list. He does not like showers...and maybe this reminded him of a shower??!! Anyway, Benjamin would love to go back again with friends (hint, hint...Chase & Mason, Simon, anyone else!) Let us know! This new park also has a great sand area where kids can dig & build without getting sprayed with water. I think Trevin would love that. Thank goodness for fun ways to keep cool this summer.

the beginning of our summer

We started our summer off with a *big splash*...enjoying ourselves at Austin, Spencer & Hannah's water party. Benjamin loved the huge water slides, tunnels & fun. Trevin was content to watch the kids fly down the slides & get splashed. Mom & I took the boys to see a Thomas the Train performance which the both kids absolutely loved. The songs & storyline were great.







Let the summer fun continue!

9 wonderful years together...

Today is our anniversary...I feel so lucky to have my husband as my help mate, the father of my boys, & my best friend! I have so many reasons to smile & be thankful.

"Loved you yesterday, Love you still; always have, always will."
