So, I am alive and doing well

I don't know why blogging seems to be such a hassle these days. It really is not hard and does not take up that much time, I just don't make it a priority. So to those who check my blog sorry for slacking. Anyway, I will start with some pictures of the kids since that is what most of you would like to see.

Here are our mock Easter pictures. We had to take them over on a different Sunday because on Easter Sunday it was pouring down rain!
Riley is getting so big and all of the girls love to help me in the kitchen. This is Riley peeling carrots. What a helper!

Joey has really fixed up our little yard and we just love spending time out in it. That is probably what we do most of the time. So this is a little glimpse of our summer.
These are random pictures of my cute kids.

We went to Granny's house on the 4th for lunch and enjoyed spending some time with her.After we left Granny's house we came home and had our own little party just the five of us. It was fun. We had water balloons and a few fireworks and drew with our sidewalk chalk on the parking lot.

The end of the year was really busy for me since I am on a learn as you go kind of program and just have to figure everything out! But we survived and the summer is even busier, but as of Tuesday I will get a break that I am very much looking forward to. Joey and I will be able to get away for a few days when his mom comes into town to keep the kids. I must say I am looking forward to that very much. That pretty much brings you all up to date. We are very blessed and thankful for were we are and that God is in control. I am looking forward to meeting my nephew that will be arriving the end of this month Lord willing. Work starts back up on August 3rd for me and Riley starts Kindergarten on August 11th. So we will be in full swing again real soon.
