Why we have a son

Derek has been crazy busy traveling this summer & the lawn has been a little neglected. I have mowed it myself a few times, but then it hit me…we have a 10 year old son let's put him to work!!! Gray has now mowed the lawn 1 1/2 times. It has worked out great I need the lawn mowed & he wants to earn some money. I see this as a win…win!

Niagra

Niagra Falls is something that everyone needs to see at least once in their lifetime. It was so amazing, truly breathtaking. We went on the boat ride Maid of the Mist, which takes you right next to the falls. We ended up getting a lot wetter than I had expected.

Onto Kirtland

After Notre Dame it was on to Kirtland, Ohio. It was amazing to see the first LDS temple. I know one day my kids will appreciate coming here!!

Abby's Baptism

Sweet Abby was baptized a few weeks ago. We were so thrilled to be able to share this special day with so many friends, church members, & family. She was so excited the whole day, she kept saying, "I am so happy, I am so glad for this day." Really it was the perfect day. We were so thrilled to have Grandma Riley & Grandma & Grandpa Jim fly in for the occasion. Thank you to everyone who came & supported her & thank you to so many of you who sent her cards & care packages.

5K

While Derek was running the 5K we were the water girls & the cheerleaders for our church Boy Scout fundraiser.
