Finals

Say some prayers for me this week. Finals are here and there is alot of studying that has to be done! Summer break is coming to a close and the kids are getting restless also. Hopefully we will get in some playtime when finals are over!

ISLANDS!!!

Ok, you cannot see it in any of these pictures,but there were dolphins jumping infront of the ship!!

Let me explain. Andrew was stung by a jellyfish. Shawn told them to go and let Adam pee on it! So they went behind us and DID IT!!!

Little cute Nathan!! He loved the water! (this is allison's little one)

William is busy building a sand castle.

David, fresh from Germany with his white skin!

What is wrong with Nathans nose???? TaDA, the lifejacket rubbed it raw! And suntan lotion gave him a rash:(

GOSSELINS

I contacted Jon and Kate Gosselin last year about coming to our church, they came! Here are two pictures of them. The upper is of The Gosselins and Red Roots, the lower is of Kate and myself.

Here is a picture of the boys during our vacation to Gatlinburg, TN

A wonderful husband

I just want to brag on my WONDERFUL husband a little. There are some things that you learn about a person over 10 years of marriage.
1-He REALLY does have our best interest at heart (even though in the beginning i didn't think so)
2- He will work really hard on something if I ask him to.
3- He is like a 12 year old on birthdays, christmas and just about any holiday!
4- He isn't content with the job he has, he would like to move up the ladder (and is working everday to do so)
5- Our boys ADORE him!
6- Little things make him glow.

10 years

Has it really been 10 years since I graduated high school??? Saturday night was my reunion and I have to say... so many people have changed. I thought surely that things were probably still the same, but I was quite surprised!

Diabetes

Please keep Shawn in your prayers. He went to the doctor last week and they told him that his sugar was elevated. He went again today and got the diagnosis. He has type 2. Shawn is very upset about this. I hope that we will be able to control it with diet and exercise. Please keep him in your prayers.

Shawns truck

yep, we are now proud owners of a ford 150, shawns old truck was on its way out, so we decided it was time to replace it! He looks like a kid at a candy store in it! Fits like a glove--
