Just Plain Fun

Just a few more photos to prove how darn much we are enjoying our summer break: Did you know princesses prefer popsicles? Mark Jr's pole beans are growing away:

What could possibly be so interesting? Oh yeah, road construction!

These girls did each other's hair:

Next on the agenda, swim time!

Finally, time for a good ole-fashioned shoot out!

We hope you are enjoying summer this much, too!

Sonogram Picture

I was very surprised when my due date was pushed back to Jan. 9th. In the picture you can pretty clearly see the BEAUTIFUL and HEALTHY BABY just slightly left of center. Under the baby and to the right you see what looks like a dark empty space, that is part of the cyst that made me look and feel farther along than I am. The devil is a liar! That cyst has got to go!

It's Our 10 Year Anniversary!

Today we are celebrating the first decade of our marriage! I've pulled out a few pictures to show how our family has grown and changed in the last decade. What an extreme joy it has been to be a wife to this man and a mother to these children. I am the blessed of the blessed, and I am so thankful to our Father God for teaching us how to have a strong family. These pictures are in random order so you can better see the changes, especially in the kids, over the years.

The last 10 years have been so sweet!
We are super excited to be kicking off the next decade with a new baby this winter.
I love you, Mark!
