Recently, we went to the beach with friends!  It was such a beautiful day. We even saw a sea turtle hatch and make its way to the ocean.....which was really awesome. We love Rosa!!  

Glamping

Image
Last weekend, our family went on an adventure to Jonathan Dickinson State Park.  It's been far too long since we've been out of the city limits, so I thought it would be fun. We had an absolute blast!!  The only downsides: no one slept very well and it was HOT.  Besides that, it was such a great time. We rented an air-conditioned cabin with a bathroom, kitchen, and beds.  So it was definitely glamping (glamourous camping).  It's about the extent of what our family can handle, though.  I liked that it is SO much cheaper than a hotel, and we were out in the wilderness without dying from heat. Brett and I looked at each other so many times and said, "This is so fun."  We will definitely do it again!! Our city kids had a difficult time with attitudes at the beginning of the day (it was HOT), but they eventually adjusted! We went geocaching and found our first geocaches!  We think geocaching is a blast.  I am the WORST at spotting the ca...

Chloe's Baptism

Image
Chloe made the decision to follow Jesus on February 8, 2013 (my birthday), and she got baptized on August 30, 2014. We are beyond grateful for Jesus moving in our kids' hearts from a young age, and Brett getting to baptize her was beyond awesome. She was SO nervous to be in front of people and acted kinda goofy.  But that's what makes Chloe, Chloe, so it was fitting :). The water was a little cold Talking with Chloe about her decision to get baptized (or as she calls it, babatized) Praying for her afterward Our church crew

Update!

I have neglected my blog for far too long. This summer was.....weird. I don't even know where it went. It was so, so busy....yet I can't recall accomplishing much. I guess that's a sign of a good summer. Nothing major happened.  But we had lots of fun. We celebrated the first anniversary of our business.  While we still have a long way to go, we are pleased to actually be making it!  We are hopeful for lots of growth this year. Our kids are doing awesome.  They're 2, 4, 6, and 8.  They make us laugh all of the time.  They're all just getting funnier and more fun with age. I am enjoying this stage of life.  I feel like the fog of babymaking and babyhaving has lifted. I seriously look through pictures of the last 8 years and cannot believe how fast it has flown by.  But I also realize how much of a brain fog I was in.  I can look at pictures and just remember being so oblivious to so much of life.  That's just that stage of life...
