Fun Times

     I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Today was such an enjoyable day. We went to the park and hung out with our friends that are really more like our "familyship".  You know the friends that  have become your family rather than just a friend. I love our familyship's that we have been blessed with. They are amazing people and a joy to be around. I love it when we all can get together like today and just hang out and enjoy each others company. I love that all of our kids are growing up together. Makes my heart dance.

It was another beautiful autumn day and the kids had a blast. Between the horse ride, the train, jump houses and the paddle boats there was something for everyone. They even got to feed the trout in the lake, the fish were jumping out of the water to get the food, it was fun to watch their reactions. I love living in a place that has all four seasons and fall is one of my favorites. What a nice relaxing day enjoying the outdoors. Here are some pics that I snapped on my phone, I will get the others from my familyship's that got a bunch more and post some of them later :)

I love this one....just sayin!!!!! 



I hope you all enjoy your week!

The Beauty of Fall

This morning I was on my way to a friends house for our womens small group from church and was just overwhelmed by the beauty all around. The trees are turning and it was a chilly overcast autumn day. I just love this time of year and living in the Northwest. There is such a beautiful canvas of colors all around. 

 "that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever!"                  Psalm 30:12

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!!

Celebrating a Remarkable Women

Today we are celebrating a very special lady, she is a remarkable, loving, creative, smart, gifted woman. She loves her family and would do anything for them. She loves the Lord and compassion is her gift. She is my best friend and some one I look up to. I'm so thankful for the relationship that we have. I know I can come to her with anything and she is there to listen. I love to watch her and Awbrey, they are so funny together. What an awesome relationship they have. Thank you God for blessing our family with her and for letting her be my mom!!!!! We love you mom aka mimi :)

Happy Birthday

Swimming In The Rain

Yesterday was such a beautiful rainy autumn day!!!!

Unless you had to be at a swim meet. Oh man it was so cold I have no idea how those girls pulled it off. It was freezing cold and rainy and oh did I mention outside. I asked some of the girls if the water was heated and they said no...there is no way...they are brave!!!! All in all everyone did good. Below is Taylor being her cute self and Awbrey's feet are so cold they are cramping :(

Good times, have a great rest of your day!
