PUPPIES!!!

Sadie had eight puppies this evening. She and the babies are all doing very well. 5 girls, 3 boys, 6 dark brown like the daddy and 2 blonds like mom. So spread the word, the puppies will be eight weeks old the Saturday before Thanksgiving! :)

David is 21!

Well, Thursday nights are always "Girls Night Out" but this week we let the guys crash our party. We celebrated David's birthday! And of course we did it in style at Chick-Fil-A. Actually it was the one night that we were all available. Minus Matt since he is out of town.

Fourth stripe!!!!

Last night she received her fourth and final stripe on her white belt. She is officially ready to test for her yellow belt. Test date is October 16th, which just so happens to be a very special young lady's birthday. We love you Faith!

Camping and family!

The Friday before Labor Day we traded campers. We were blessed with a GREAT camper at pretty much the same cost as our Outback, God is so good to us. It is huge and we still can't believe it is ours. Sadie is a great dog, and she loves to go camping with us. As soon as we pull the camper up to start getting ready to go she gets excited.

This picture was taken by "Squirt" she loves it when I let her use my camera. She thought it was hilarious to take a picture of her brother's toes.

Being goofy!

Nathan finally went camping with us for the whole weekend. Matt and I were very happy to have him.

I baked a cobbler while we were camping and when I pulled it out of the oven it had this angel in the middle of it. I have no idea how or why. Maybe we shouldn't have eaten it but sold it on Ebay and made thousands of dollars. ;)

Life is good!

She is loving TKD

Here she is working hard to get her high block and punches down. Mr. Stevens is a wonderful instructor who really encourages his kids while at the same time pushing them to do their best.

Now for that front kick.

Working on a GOOD front stance.


Hard work pays off!
She received three of the four stripes she needs to test for her yellow belt. About two more weeks before she test.

I wish I had taken a picture before we started tearing down the wall paper. This was the playroom and before that it was the nursery and years before that it was Nathan's room

This has always been a great little room no matter what we wanted it to be. And now it is our new office. We haven't finished the decor yet, but it is up and running.
I love having a place to be able to work without having to share the space with a TV or playing kids! Note on the right side of the picture is Matt's spot. He has a chair and a portable laptop stand. We spend a lot more time together since we have our office.
