Let's Play!

All the kids wanted to play soccer this year. It has been a lot of fun to watch. Just some pictures of the cuties listening to the advice of the coaches, and practicing. They have had lots of fun!

Curl Formers

We bought these curlers, they were expensive, to try something new with the hair. I must say that they are amazing! They really work well. They were not hard to put in Alivia's hair, just took time. I'm sure that practice would make it go faster. Anyway, Liv's hair looked darling! I forgot to take a picture. With the humidity, they didn't last long, but I am sure with some dryer air and some hair goop, they will be fabulous!!

It's that time!!

Could it really be a new school year? My kids are growing up. Didn't they just start Kindergarten? It seems that time goes faster with every year. How can I slow down time? I totally enjoyed them as babies. I use to worry about when they got to be teenagers, and wish that I could freeze them, while they were still little. Now that I have teenagers, I totally enjoy them! I love hearing about their day. I love watching them grow spiritually. Yes, I admit I even "Enjoy" the fact that they "Think" they know everything. I never imagined that I could love or enjoy them as much as I do. They make me so proud! They are ALL so strong. I pray for them everyday as they go through this mean world. They constantly surprise me with their maturity, and goodness among all the garbage they encounter. They truly are a chosen generation. I pray that they will make the world a kinder and better world. I know that my world is kinder and better with them in it. Yes, a LITTLE more chaotic, but kinder.

ARMY MAN

Elijah was upstairs playing in his room. He had been up there quite a while being VERY quiet. When he did come downstairs, he was dressed in this...Isn't he the cutest Army man you've EVER seen. Our house doesn't have a lot of storage, so Scott had his Army issued backpack and gear "hiding" in Elijah's closet. Well, it had been found!

OUR IGGY

We have two iguanas that live in our front yard. They are usually very nice, and entertaining to watch. I think they are kind of cute (in their own way). Last week the kids called me at work to tell me that the female, we named Iggy, was dead in the road. The kids and our neighbor found her. (The neighbor started crying) Iggy had not been hit by a car. She looked like she was just sleeping, while ants were eating out her eyes. It was VERY sad. Her honey is so lonely. We haven't seen him in days! It is good to know that she is in a better place.
