A little visit from some friends

So, some friends came to visit about a week ago. One of my roommates from college back at ol' GC. It was a lot of fun to have our kids play together. Who knew our kids would actually play together someday! Grant got to have his first sleepover and the boys "camped out" in his room in his tent. They were up late and then up early - too much playing to do.

The visit was fun and so good to catch up. It makes me realize how important it is to stay in contact with friends. Maybe I'm more sentimental now that I've had a couple kids, or maybe since I'm so old now - 31 in a couple of weeks! It's also hard to make truly good friends, so be sure to keep the ones you have! Don't let them slip through the cracks.

My parents are leaving me

So, we live in Arizona, as do my parents. Well, they (we, as I'm helping them drive back) leave on Sunday for Missouri. I will miss them dearly. I know they are going where they feel the Lord is leading them. I just keep praying that He leads them back! My brothers and their families are up there, so it's hard to compete when we just have 2 little ones and they'll have 5 grandbabies up there soon. Here's our picture with them from their farewell party yesterday. I hope my brothers appreciate the sacrifice we are making down here!!!!!!

Happy Family

So here we are at Mother's Day. Yes, my husband is hot, and yes, our son looks just like his dad. They say Lauren looks like me, we do know she has my attitude for sure already! We have great kids though - praise God!

Here's Lauren - Aileen caught her smiling. She actually smiles all of the time, but when the camera comes around, she can get kind of serious.

And Grant - this is his 3-year-old picture. He's getting pretty good at posing for the camera!

First Blog

So, here I am. My sister-in-law Tiffany got a blog site, so not to be outdone, I must now have one. Hopefully I can keep this up to date and you all can share in our lives!
