IS IT TIME?

A child sat on Jesus’ lap in the splendor of Heaven.The child asked, “Is it time?”Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said, “No, not yet child.”The child asked, “When will it be time?”Jesus replied, “When lessons are learned, hardships endured and loneliness lived, then it will be time.”

Time passed.The child asked, “Is it time?”Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said, “No, not yet child.”The child asked, “When will it be time?”Jesus replied, “When maturity is reached, self-worth affirmed and spirits strengthened, then it will be time.”

Time passed.The child asked, “Is it time?”Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said, “Their love is strong and their hearts are open. Yes, now it is time. Your parents are ready.”

4th of July

WOW Another 4th of July has come and gone!

We started out our day by having family and some friends over! Katy, Hunter, Ty, Amanda, Kolby, Audree & I all went swimming and had a BLAST! Ty was pretty darn funny haha he wanted to "hold me" and when I put him down and told him he could touch he was freaking out! HAHA We had so much fun swimming with the kiddos!

Then my mom, stepdad, father in law, mother in law, sister in law, and of course the above friends grilled out and had some YUMMY burgers, hot dogs, chips, and potatoes!! The kids played together in Audree's room and they had a blast!!



That afternoon Brett, Me & Amanda headed out to the lake to go with my dad, stepmom, sister and cousin on the boat! We hung out under Lake Shore bridge for a while and watched everyone swing from the rope and jump from the bridge. After that it was time for TUBING!! We all took a turn and had so much fun! Amanda & I got on the tube and had the bright idea of having my dad pull us all the way across the lake to drop my sis off. NO GOOD!!! We both flipped off and rolled across the water haha So then I got on and said okay Ill give it a try! I almost fell off so many times and my arms were hurting so BAD! I literally went halfway across the lake on the tube! I had to yell to my dad to stop haha



We dropped my sis and Amanda off at the dock and we left to go pick Audree up from my moms! We brought her back out to the lake and it was her very first time on Pop Pop's boat! She had so much fun and did SOOOO good!! She kept her life jacket on and did not even fuss! We watched the fireworks from the lake on the boat and they were really good! Afterwards we headed on home since it was getting late and little miss Audree was ready for bed!







We had a great 4th of July!! Hope you and your family did as well!!


First Haircut

Well its been almost 17 months and it was time for our baby girl to get her very 1st haircut. I have been putting this off for weeks because I didn't want it to come! I know most think its just a haircut, but I didn't want them to cut my baby's curls off!!

We went to Smarty Pants, a local childrens & maternity consignment shop, and they have a childrens hair place there. Audree sat in the truck and drove while she got her hair cut. we brought good 'ol trusty pap pap & elle because we thought she would cry. Sure enough she did
:o( She whined off and on but overall did VERY GOOD! We just trimmed up her hair all over to make it even! Im so PROUD of my baby but at the same time Im so sad.

We got a First Hair Cut certificate and put her 1st curls in a silver case Uncle Zach and Aunt Tiff gave her before she was even born. Here are some pics:
