School has started!! I am one of those mom's who enjoys sending my kids to school. I am not good at structure and they need it therefore Im so greatful someone else can provide it better than me!

So I went to Mexico the first week in Aug with the church. It was amazing! I learned a lot about myself and the different culture. Im very glad I went - and I would go again. Praise God for that opportunity, not just for me but for the entire team and the people we impacted while there!

Tom and I celebrated our 10 yr anniversary last weekend at SunnyBrook camp and floated down the river. It was a great time to get away. The kids stay with my parents and went to the state fair.

Im glad to be getting back into a daily routine - summer is challenging.
We are working on getting counseling for Avery. School is a particularly difficult time for her. I hope we can get her back on track in the 4th grade. Raven is loving 1st grade.


Learn something new everyday.

water park

well, I did it. Purchased a season pass to the Island Oasis. My kids are officially old enough to go and play while I lounge around and watch them. I love it!! Raven has a little floating type swimsuit so she bobs up and down in the wave pool.. its funny, she looks like a turtle (pink one).

Im looking for a weekend we can go camping this summer and Im afraid its going to be boiling hot. By the temps this spring I can only imagine what it will be like in July and August. Maybe its time to sell all our camping gear. Are we getting too old for this? Our kids (mostly Raven) can't be anywhere near a bug or its like her life is ending.

so I've been thinking about this blogging thing and I really need to do this more often. I have ONE follower..(hi Shane) LOL maybe I just have no friends. So any of you people out there want to subscribe to my blog? I am going to try to keep up maybe like weekly.
spent Memorial Day weekend at the lake. It was nice to be on the boat again. We caught some fish and ate some fish. It was great.
