Long time no blog!

It's been a while! I am sad that my blogging days are few and far between. I love blogging but it just does not fit in to my crazy busy schedule. If you are my friend on Facebook then you pretty much see recent pictures and know what's going on with us. If your not my friend, then look me up and sent me a friend request.:-) I can't promise when the next post will be, so your best bet is to keep up with us on Facebook! HA!
We wrapped up the school year and I can't believe that I now have a 3rd grader and a kindergartner! How did that happen?!?!?!?!
We are enjoying SUMMER!!!! We have not stopped since school let out! We are always sitting on G and waiting on O!HA! I have posted some pictures of our summer so far, but first I have some pictures of our sweet girl Sophie. Remember our fur baby that we got in November? Well, our hearts were broken in April when she got really sick and we discovered she had an incurable kidney disease. Friday, April 13th was a very sad day for us, we had to say goodbye to our sweet girl. Here are some pictures of her.............

I never knew how much I would miss a dog! I think Daniel and I had a harder time then the kids did! After a week the kids were asking for a new dog! They were told very quickly NOOO!!!!

Now on to a happier note, here are some pictures from our last 2 weeks!

Grace Anne had her dance recital. She did awesome! I was so proud of her and the little dancer that she has become! She LOVES dance and can't wait to start dance again in August. She also has found a new love, she tried out for cheerleader at her school and made it. So she is now a GES Dragon! You can imagine what we have to hear and see every waking minute. Cheering and Dancing! It does not matter where she is, at wal-mart, in the shower, at church, in the pool, she is dancing and cheering! :-)


I love this sweet girl so much!

We didn't waste anytime, school was out on Thursday and on Sunday we went to Atlanta for a week! Daniel was there for a conference, so while he was in class all day, the kids and I went and had some fun!

We went to the mall and they spent there money that they had been saving!

Grace Anne's favorite store!

Drew's new favorite store. I don't have a little boy anymore! He has let me know that he is now my BIG boy!:-) I just love my silly Drew Boo, he is always keeping us laughing. He is such a fun loving kid!

We also took full advantage of the pool!

We enjoyed Stone Mountain, but the best part was that Daniel got to join in on the fun!

The kids and I went to the Georgia Aquarium one day and had a BLAST! If you are ever in ATL. you have to go!

We came home from our fun vacation and got ready for VBS!!!! My FAVORITE week of summer! Last year Daniel and I had to sit out due to his heart surgery but this year we were back full force! Speaking of Daniel's heart surgery, we celebrated his 1 year anniversary on June 3rd. We are still in awe of God's love that was shown to us during that time. Daniel is doing AWESOME and you would never know that he has surgery. Praise the Lord, God is so good!

Here is me and my silly 1st grade VBS class! They were such a joy to work with, they blessed my heart!

Drew and Grace Anne had a ball at VBS and like their momma and daddy, it's their favorite week of summer too!

Well, that's all for now. We have lots more planned for this summer. I do ask that you be in prayer for Daniel, Grace Anne and I as we go on a family mission trip in July. We are so excited to be able to go and be missionaries together as a family. Drew will be sitting this one out, he is now my BIG boy but not quite big enough for this trip.:-)

Thanks for checking in on us.
