Summer is HERE!!

We are having a great time relaxing, swimming, cleaning and enjoying our summer. We are still so busy..haven't had time to add (or even take) any recent pictures! We hope everyone is having a great summer. We look forward to seeing friends and family as we get further into the summer. The kids have alot of activities such as EFY, Youth Conference, Float Trips, Camps, Family Reunions, not to mention staying up late and sleeping in late! Dad sure loves us for that one! We are so lucky to have a Dad that works so hard for us during the summer, so we can PLAY!! Thanks Dad!! We also have alot of celebrations to enjoy in June. Derek had a birthday on the first of June. Our 22nd Ann. was on the 5th, Kylee turned 11 on the 7th, Gracee turns 4 on the 16th, and Eathan turns 7 on the 24th.

Happy Mothers Day!

We had a wonderful Mother's Day for Beth today. She had breakfast in bed, followed by a few gifts. We had a great day at church and rushed home to wait for Jordan's Mother's Day phone call. Well a few minutes after he said he would call, the phone rang! We were able to talk to him for over an hour!! He sounded good...but tired. It was good to hear his voice and all the kids were able to talk to him. We can't believe we only have one more phone call (at Christmas) before he comes home. We are very proud of him.

Kaz get's stitches

Well, it was bound to happen. Kaz put his head, or more like his lip, in the way of someone's head at basketball practice on Friday. I got a call at work from the school nurse who said the cut was a little to big to put a butterfly strip on it. So Kaz and I went to the hospital and they put 5 stitches in his lip! They told him to ice it really good for the first 24 hours...which he didn't do, so it was all swollen. Well, now after a few days, the swelling has gone down and he looks like he'll be as good as new once the stitches are removed and the cut has a little time to heal.
