Back to School.

Well, it's that time of year again. This year did not go as I had planned. I was going to have two still at home, but KG had other ideas. :) We took CT to meet his teacher last night. KG saw that her two little best friends were in a class together. So we arranged it that she too would start school today. They are all in the same class. Whew!! She was SOOOO excited!! We will still be able to go to our Bible Study on Tuesday's since Pre-K is not required. :) So everyone was happy.

KG and CT ready to go!! KG- PreK, CT-1st grade

CT and his best buddy J. He was SOOO excited to see him, and that they were in the same class.
Ready for 1st grade. I have a feeling this year will go as fast as the last.

Sweet Friends.....

Deacon had a follow up appointment in Arkansas from his cleft palate surgery we had back in February. We were able to go and see some life long friends on our way. We had a GREAT time with the Owen's. Thanks for letting us hang at your place. :)

Eloise and KG doing their thing!! ;) They dressed up the whole time we were there. They were so cute!
CT, Sam, and Abe doing what boys do best. Who knows where Deacon was, or what he was doing. :)

Great Wolf Lodge

A couple of weekends ago we took the kids up to The Great Wolf Lodge for a little family get away. We had a great time! The boys LOVED the water slides and anything thrill seeking. KG on the other hand was happy as a lark on the little slides. :)

KG, CT, and Deacon ready for the Water Park.
Snack time. They picked this three foot long gummy snake.
Deacon loves the water.
Water Fun!!

Story time at the clock tower.
We met up with some friends on our way home. Deacon was blessing our food. :)

Sweet Friends.....

The other day we got to meet up with some sweet friends we hadn't seen in awhile. We met Kate, Rachel and their parents at Chick-Fil-A. We traveled with Kate and her parents to China when we picked up Deacon, and they picked up Rachel. It was great to see them.

All the kiddos playing on the slide.
These two crack me up. I think if we lived closer together they would be into quite the trouble together. :) KG just loved little Rachel, and wanted to mother her.
Kate and Rachel. I just love these two little girls.
The whole clan!! We had a great time. Thanks for meeting us! We will have to do it again soon. :)

Happy 4th of July!!!

Yes I am a little behind in blogging, but trying to get caught up. :)

We had a GREAT 4th of July this year. We had several nights of getting together with friends, good food, and fabulous fire works.

KG, Deacon, and CT all decked out for church and the 4th.

Sweet Reese and Mo.
KG and her little friend P. Yes Sarah we see you in the background. :)
S and CT getting ready to watch our first round of fireworks.
Deacon was a little scared at first, but then would ask for more. He also kept saying My Fireworks. :) Yes, son those are just for you.

We are blessed and thankful for all those who have fought to keep us free. Thank you for your sacrifice!

Welcome Home Daddy and Bubba!!!

After 13 looooong days apart, we headed to the airport to meet Daddy and Bubba home from China. They had a FABULOUS trip!! There were a lot of lives changed. I'm so glad that they were able to go and be apart of what the Father is doing!!

Deacon so proud of his Welcome Home Daddy sign.
One of the signs we made for CT.
Stephen, KG, and Deacon super excited to see everyone.
Here they are!! Deacon is crying because he tried to run to them, and he wasn't supposed to go past that red and black line. Someone grabbed him, and it scared him. He got over it pretty quick when Daddy picked him up. :)

We are SO glad to have them home.

Par-tay, Par-tay, Par-tay!!
