Happy 40th!

My parents are two of the most amazing people I know and I don't just say that because I call them Mom and Dad.  They are kind, generous, loving, patient, grateful, awesome, wonderful, sweet, considerate.....etc
All of the fruits of the Spirit and then some.  They provided my brother and I with a wonderful childhood, but what I really appreciate is the relationship I have with them now as Grandma and PaPa to my littles and as mentors to Josh and I.  I am so grateful for them! God has blessed our family in sooooo many ways.  The relationship I have with my parents, is just another one of those blessings.  We celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary in Port Aransas.  It was perfect!  Sam, Jess and their kiddos came too!  Here are some highlights from our time together!

 We went to dinner at Marcels!  Delicious!
 We played in the sand!  Alot!




 We set a tent up each day at the beach!  Let me tell you, this was a game changer for us.  It provided the perfect amount of shade to keep us all from burning to a crisp!  I'll never go to the beach without a tent again!
 Brody and Ryder had a sleep over!  I hope these cousins become great friends!
 We took the kids out one night with flashlights and let them explore the beach!  My camera took this fun picture above.  Our condos are in the background.  Brody kept finding sand crabs.  They were so cute!

Summer Fun

This summer we have been soaking up the fun!  We spent 2 whole weeks in Leakey!  We have been to 3 summer camps, one awesome VBS, had a trip to the ranch, a trip to the farm,  a couple of birthday parties, and lots and lots of swimming!  We have a few more fun things to do in August and then it will be back to school!  








 VBS was a spy theme this year!  Perfect for my little boys.  I was in charge of Jaden's group.  We had 11 soon to be second grade boys.  They were super fun, sweet, loud, crazy and of course energetic! The sweetest thing happened that I didn't expect, two of those little boys prayed to accept Jesus as their Savior with me.  So so sweet and special!  I know that accepting Jesus as your Savior is the most important decision you will ever make.  It was very emotional for me to be a part of that sweet moment with them and I am so grateful that God used me in that way!
