Let the summer fun begin.  So happy to settle down and relax a little after such a busy spring.  Thanks for visiting our blog and enjoy our family pictures.

I found this beautiful field of sunflowers on Father's day. This totally makes up for me not getting Texas Bluebonnet pictures this spring.  I am one happy Momma :-)

On Father's day we went to the 8 am service and then we came home to nap before heading to lunch at Rockfish.  The kids wrote Elijah letters and poems and read them to him.  It was quite touching.  Daniel asked if he could say grace over our lunch and he thanked God for his Dad and he prayed that his Dad would enjoy his special day. It was a very moving prayer. The kids really love their dad.  We are very blessed to have Elijah in our lives.  He is a keeper.

Our little ballerina had her dance recital.  She loves the spotlight.  A special thanks to Uncle Montrell, Ashlee, Auntie Danielle, Reagan, Rylie and Ryan for coming to the recital.  

Daniel had a serious growth spurt this school year.

I guess this is her signature pose. 

 Every spring I claim that I won't sign the kids up for Awana the following year because it is such a commitment, but it is so rewarding to see our kids grow spiritually in the Lord. I am very grateful for those that volunteer their time with this ministry.  Both kids received their Book Award and Daniel received the Merit Reward.  I am one proud Momma

  

 A special thanks to my mother in law for watching the kids Memorial Day weekend. As you can see our lives are revolved around Alyssa and Daniel. We both realize that we are great parents, but some days we suck at being husband and wife.  It was really nice to have some time to ourselves to reconnect with each other.

Alyssa and one of her favorite after school teachers.
