I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

swimming and the 4th of july.

The kids love to swim but I HATE taking Aiden down to the pool, so I bought them a pool for the yard. They really don't seem to mind the trade off! Lucky me!

Alyssa was told to go get her pajama's on. She did. Then hopped back in.

Every year we go to the park for the 4th of July. We grab dinner of some kind and then head to the park around 5. We are there WAY earlier than everyone else, but we get good parking and any view we want! The kids love to play on the grass. We also bring squirt bottles and lots and lots of ice and snacks.

 Aiden's first 4th of July! Such a cute happy stinker.


This year Heidi and Reggie and their kids came and found us so we got to spend some time with them.


We had a blast! Can't wait till next time!
