Just some fun...

The latest Summer of 2009 FUN had by the fam and the kiddos...


Matthew and Maliah - arent they a beautiful pair! Our friends The Martine's have 3 great kiddos and this is their youngest! We LOVE their sweet fam and they have become precious friends.



Matthew LOVES his sister more than I can describe. He LOVES to lay on her mat and play with her.



WE ROLLED OVER! I left her on her back on her play mat, walked in to the kitchen and came back and she was just like this! Darn it - I missed it!



Playing in the sand at Willie's with Cannon! FYI parents - GREAT place to take the kids!






Anna just loungin around with sweet Kylan Heare! Cuties...



Bathing Beauty!






Matthew is VERY into his Mama right now and I LOVE IT! He always wants to take pics of us together and then says, "let me see it Mama, you're cute"









Those eyes melt my heart!

Trail West, Buena Vista, Colorado

We spent a month in Colorado at one of Young Life's properties called Trail West. Its our Family Camp. It was an AMAZING 28 days! My "job" was to love, pray with, work with, study with and just do life with 13 college girls who came to be on "Summer Staff" from all over the country. They were awesome and we felt SO blessed to get to spend time with everyone and play in the AMAZING Colorado weather! Why do we live in Texas in the summer?!?! There is no greater gift than to get to spend this time with other Young Life staff and Work Crew and Summer Staff...what a gift for our family and our babies!!

Matthew and Jack all dressed up for the Square Dance! Pretty Babies!



2 of my wonderful Summer Staffers! Jocelyn and Sarah! Love these girls!



All of Summer Staff and Work Crew during our performance night for all the guests! We sang and 2 of our kids shared their "stories"! Such amazing kids! They come to serve for a month for free...just because they love the community and love Jesus!



When we asked Matthew what his favorite part of the trip to Colorado was, he said, "the rainbows"! They were amazing!



The fam...and sweet Alli...an adopted Garrison for a few weeks!

Who says girls are cleaner than boys! This is a small part of my girls room! So funny!



Took kids to lunch in town one day and saw this...so inappropriate I know..I so know! But it made me laugh out loud too! Sorry if it offends anyone! :)



2 little "mini bears"...we had a few of these little guys live with us in our Assign Team Housing. They are everywhere!!

We had a great month! Glad to be home. But, made some friends (The Conants :-)) that will be friends for life. So thankful to be a part of the mission and community of Young Life!
