CC Family Camp 2007 Petaluma

Camping was so much fun!! The freedom the kids had of just non stop playing and walking around without mom or dad holding them was just soooo much fun for them! The weather was perfect we swam and pet the animals at the petting zoo we even watched some kareoke! None of us went up there of course! The end came quickly though and we came home completely exhausted!!! I needed at least a day of just sitting and not chasing kids around! (which didn't happen)What a blessed weekend! Our kids are growing, growing, growing!!!!!

Vacation Bible School!!

Mia attended VBS last week and let me tell you it was an emotional, fun, heartwarming, hot time!! She had a hard time with mommy leaving her and so she decided to cry!! So I stayed with her two of the four days that she went! (that's right I gave in) You don't understand when Mia cries her big crocodile tears you want to give her whatever she wants. Leaving her crying was so emotionally draining for me but hello it was only for three hours!! Even with all the crying going on Mia still had a wonderful time and met some amazing people and kids! On thursday she said the sinners prayer and accepted Jesus in her heart which was just to precious hearing her say the prayer made me realize how much I have to be accountable for her little life to teach her more and more about the lord. I'll be back to write about our camping trip.

Helping Mom!!

Reading time!

Mia and Ikey taking time out from beating each other up to read! They are so cute!!!

Beach Day!

We headed to the beach on this day and the kids had a blast who wouldn't there's sand and water!! It's paraside to them!! I thought I was going to get to hang out in the with Evan and Mia but no such luck Mia did great swimming with the boys but Evan just wanted to be in the water the whole time so guess where I was.... in the water the whole time!! I got a nice sun burn but it was well worth it since they came home beat and gave my a couple hours of rest!! I LOVE SUMMERTIME!!!

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

My Birthday was May 29th and I turned 31! Yeah! We decided to go on a little adventure and so we went took Bart to San Fran and went to this little Aquarium and then walked around the city for a couple hours. When we got home we were all totally pooped!! I had some amazing melodies on my answering machine of Happy Birthday tunes that I wish I could have copied to a disc because they were hilarious!!! Not to mention the cute gifts right outside my front door!! I felt very special on my special day! a couple days later a few of the girls took me out to dinner and BOWLING!!!! It was so much fun I can't even express how wonderful I felt that night!! The lord has answered so many of my prayers, my hearts desires. Having these amazing women around me has definately been one of my answered prayers!! Thank you lord for another birthday and yet I feel more and more complete and younger! AMEN!!!

Madera, CA

Drove to Madera, California on May 19th and met up with my mother in law and Clint's aunt Penny and Grandma and Clint's cousin Jaime. It was such a blessing to see his family. We probably hadn't seen some of them in two or three years. The lord truly blessed us with a beautiful day and great company! The kids were so awesome they played outside in the dirt with sticks and throwing rocks for hours! Thank you Jesus!!

San Ramon Park

On May 18th we decided to take a little trip to San Ramon and have ourselves a little picnic. It was so much fun and the kids all loved it. On the way home there were some sleepy heads which was great for mom let me tell you!! This is summer is starting of just great! (hey did you see Superman and Spiderman eating their lunch?)
