I had the fun morning with just the two little ones. It was a great morning. They are so great together. Just the two of them which is very unusual, so they got to do their own thing.

It's been a couple of weeks, but here is my new do. Not the best shot, I'm sure you will see more of it.

I have read one of the most amazing book.

Heaven is for Real

I don't know if you have gotten a chance

to read it yet, but don't put it off,

go out and get it right away and take some

time to read about Colton and how he

has experienced heaven.

It's an easy read.

It is just totally amazing

and will open your

eyes in a whole new way at looking at heaven.

I guess what better way to reach us

but through the eyes of a child.

Let me know what you think of it.

We had a great time up in the mountains at Family Camp

this weekend. Man, those boys love hiking. Didn't get a picture

of it, but they caught 3 snakes, and a salamander.

Hoping for some coolness, so headed up to the cabin for a few days of family camp and maybe escape the heat.
As I go through my days there are so many times I wanna call my mom. We shared and told each other everything, and that is a hard thing to stop. I cherish my memories of her so much, I don't remember a bad time with her, and I am totally blessed by that.

I love my sunflowers, and this year alot of them came up on their own from last year.

Vacation in Galvaston TX

The beach was awesome and the kids, old and young

had the best time.

In July we got the honor of watching the Pope boys while Tamara and Jason went to Hawaii for their 10th anniversary. Wow, hard to beleive it's been 10 years. We had a great time with the kids, maybe more fun than they had in Hawaii. Here's a glimpse

In July Jason finished his 7 years of medical school/training. He graduated from the residency program which completed all his training. What an acheivement Jason, we are so proud of you. In August he will begin working in the ER at ENMMC.

We did our usual July 4th burgers and fireworks. Love getting a picture of the kids in their red,white and blue.

I sure got behind on my blog lately. Sorry! Here are the Fathers in our lives. You guys are amazing, love you guys. You are doing a great job. Words can't express how much you mean to me.
