Lots of fun in the Sun

FUN!!!!FUN!!!!!

Well guys we have been really busy these days with Noah and Grace playing ball as well as Nathanael going to school for football conditioning, working and camps!!!!!! Yes, girls I need a MOMMY moment about now. It is lots of fun but we are tired due to the heat being sooo bad. So Grace Katherine had a game the other day and we decided to have some fun with a few friends that we have not seen in a while

My friends Amy came to the game to see. Grace Katherine and Taylor. my friend Carolyn's little girl play ball with her three boys. Taylor and Sis play on the Angels team together. Then we watched Tyler play his game.

We really had big plans.... We were going to picnic at a local creek and play in the water because buddy it was a hot one!!!!!! We had a wonderful time the kids got in the water and played ball . We moms talked and talked....... IT WAS GRRREAT. I needed that and so did kids.

So we have plans again for a later day in JUNE and hope we will have more to come ... Tanja for one...hahaha So all is welcome and I am really looking forward to it. We talked about our kids and how hard it is for them today and how we really need to pray as we have all stages of kids .. high school, middle school. 3rd graders and of course our babies going to kindergarten. So we all need to be much in pray as we begin our new journeys. I am thankful for my friends and their kids. I am very excited about my friend Amy and her new beginning as well. She is leaving a job and staying with her kids. Amy I pray for you much needed rest and time just to be mom , wife and just yourself. Your are a great teacher and you have touched many lives. You deserve the best and I hope you enjoy everything. I am happy for you!!!! We all love ya girl!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are a few pictures of our day! WITH LOTS of LOVE TO ALL. KIM




Here are our crew of sweeties in the water and also their bucket of creepy crawlers.

Big Angel, And little Bella + Duker.

One day my family, and I just got home. My mom told me to take a picture of my dog's Angle, and Bella. So I did. I tried to take one of Bella she ran away from me, so I went to Angle she sanded at the fence so went to take the picture she turned around so I hold for a while and let go. and she and jumped on the fences. and it looks likes she is coming out of the picture, and I got some that was not that good of Bella. I hooked them up and went inside. But then I came out and played with my dog on the same day, and we had fun. My dog Duke or Pucker as I sometimes call him.

Angel is the big baby of our furry family

Bella is our hyper girl

Duke is Grace Katherine's baby and thinks he is a human and not a dog and he is sooo funny!! He loves his Mommy. YaaaaaaaYaaaaa!!!!!

GO BIG ANGELS

Grace is planning ball for a league in our area and she loves her softball team. She will not be 8 until the end of the month so she had to ask to move up with the 8-12 age. But she fits in just fine and is quit good at it. Well some days more than others. She is so funny!!!!

I can not believe that my baby girl is so big and I cry thinking about it.

But for her I'm proud. She tires her best out of all. I love her so much.
I love my mommy she takes me there + my daddy.

Noah.

Hello to all and hope all is well with everyone. Just wanted to brag on my boy for doing a fine job on his first pitching of his baseball career. He was very nervous but did a great job and we were very proud of him. Rob is coaching the team and it is lots of work but does enjoy being with the kids. I think my sweetie is so cute and I can not believe he will be 12!!! Pray for our little team because they have not won a game and it is very sad. I mean blow outs like 25 to 2. So all I have to say is go big Cardinals try your best and go for it!!!!

My Sweet Husband and Memories of a Friend

Hello and good day to everyone. Just want to send a quick note about Memorial Day!!


Just wanted to share a memory of a special friend Steve Maddies, who was killed on his final weeks in Iraq, as he was taking a right side ride. That is where they are teaching the new people;e their job. He was our good friend and we had spend time with he and his wife on many trips to Mississippi. This still hurts Rob very much and all his other friends. Please remember his family in your prayers. It is very hard when it hits home like that. Many units from here are back on mobilization orders again and yes that includes my hubby.... So it looks as if we will be going through this again but I hope that plans will change and he will not be send anywhere. Thanks so much for your prayers and support!!!!








Here is a picture of my special solider and our family. God Bless All of our troops who have or will serve!!!!!!!

Have a blessed day, KIM

Nathanael's Promotion Night

Yes, it is...... Promotion Night for our 8th graders and yes it is a very emotional one. I have been reading on my friend Cassie's site about her tears and a whole week on them. Cassie I am feeling your pain!!!! My first born is going to ....high school !!!! I have cryed for many days now as I think about the next four years. Where did the time go and does he have good memories and a good foundation to move on to the high school?? I have being thinking about his first everything and how he did this and what his favorite toy was....... you know that Mom stuff we think about!!!! I ask him to hug me now (his 160 pound self) and I get "Mom I am too big to hug you now!!!" and I just want to cry!!!


So please pray for him as we prepare for this in August that he will do well and have a great year. He is going to play football and join ROTC. So he will be very busy and just please pray for maturity to come his way!!


I have to tell you about what he said as we were getting ready to go and just talking about his future. He know he struggles and we have been praying for him and this move. So he said "Mom, I had a dream and it was a paper with words on it, so I was looking at the words and it said.. "Do not be afraid" . Then he said I think God is talking to me and I totally agree with that!!!!!!! I think God is talking to us all in some way but are we listening is the question!!!???? Thanks for sharing this moment with our family. We love you all and hope for a blessed day for you! KIM

Nathanael's Big RETURN !

Well, Nathanael made it back on Thursday the 15th about 10:03p.m. And yes he was very tired and very excited to tell us about his trip. They all returned safe and sound with many great memories to share.

I was very proud of him and we missed him lots, but this was an answered prayer for him to go and do well and that he did. THANK YOU SWEET JESUS!!!!! He has taken 4 rolls of film but then lost one and his mp3 player...... so we hope he does better next time on keeping up with his things. He came in and got right on the computer and started showing me all the places they saw and he also had taken a sheet of paper and traced the name of a person with our last name on the Vietnam War Memorial. He said how he had cryed when he saw all the names. It really touched him where we are a military family and he is all about history. This was a great trip with lots of learning and we hope to take all the kids back in the fall. We are thankful for his happy return!!! KIM
