Everybody's Fine!

We are doing fine here....well.....as good as you can do in 102F heat! Man, was I really dreaming of summertime? I can assure you that if I was-this is not what I had in mind! So we have been doing all we can to beat the heat. Staying indoors has been the most popular thing to do :) So we have been keeping ourselves cool by playing video games, watching movies, and working at cns. Lots of work to do up there and we have been doing that all week. We are opening as a thrift next week. It is mind boggling all of the things that have been done so far. I am so thankful that there has been plenty of volunteers up there all week to get the job done. My kids are sick of being there. Poor things!
WE are so proud of daddy! He is working hard flying that airplane. We do miss him and I think he misses us too. He is spraying corn at the moment. What state are you in now?? Its hard to keep up. And send us some pictures too so I can post them.

Thanks for checking in. I'll post some kid pictures and airplane pictures as soon as I can.

Horses Must Eat Too!

Can you guess who was responsible for this feeding?

Rolling on the River

We went to spend some time with Thad this weekend. We took the kids down the river on a raft. They has so much fun. Lauren was unsure about this at first.













Breaking for lunch and watching some of the other people go by.










Brendan was testing out the freezing cold water before we all got in.








Aaron figured out a way to stay cool but not get in yet. One leg in- one leg out. Notice our trusty boat driver doing all the work in the back.











We managed to not turn the raft over. The kid's favorite part was when the water was shallow enough to walk beside the boat as we drifted downstream. It was so hot we all jumped in. They had a great time and loved doing something new.

More Pictures

Wanted to post more of the birthday boy. He had a good time but not sure that he is used to it being all about him.

Happy Birthday Aaron!

I can't believe my baby boy is seven!!! He asked to go out and eat at a place where they would sing to him. This is what he did when that happened.











The whole family at Olive Garden












He had a pool party and had so much fun. That's him in the royal blue shirt.












Lots of fun in the pool.This was a very easy party.










He chose a Super Mario ice cream cake. It was a hit and also very pretty.

Pictures for the Airplane People

We went to see Thad last week. This is him headed straight for us.









Ethan watching Daddy spray.












Landing on a nice runway...

Summer is Here

Oh my!!! It has been so hot here. Summer came in two days. It no longer possible to sit beside the pool to watch the kids. We are talking July weather here!!! Soooo not ready for that considering that we have had such mild weather so far.

We finished school yesterday with awards day and end of the year swimming parties. The kids basically stayed in the pool all day yesterday. Then we had a birthday supper for my Grandpa last nite! Wheew! Lots going on here.

We will be headed north to visit Daddy while he works. Maybe I will have some cool pictures to post when we get back.

There are some cool things happening at CNS! Lots of changes and that is going...well...like changes usually do..not without friction. So pray for all of us there. Pray that we will seek God's will for this mission and not anything of ourselves. God is moving around here. It is so visible lately and that is exciting!!

Signing out for now....
