Its Summer Time!!!

Yay no more 6am alarm clock going off!!! We are ready for summer break. The kids are offically done with school. Brianna is now an 8th grader! Oh My! I am not sure I am ready for this. Because this means next year she will be in high school! Kara is now a 6th grader. Ethan is going into 2nd. He finished 1st grade with A Honor Roll all year long and was in the top reading club. He is very smart. Jaxson is ready for them to be at home in the day time. We have enjoyed our first week off.

After our slip n slide breaking, we decided to get a tarp with a sprinkler. It works much better and the kids love being able to slide at the same time. It has been too funny watching them...we've had lots of wipeouts-some on purpose and some not. Its been a great way to cool from the 99 degree weather that hit us the week they got out.

We dont have a big summer planned. We are hoping to go to Florida in a couple of weeks, a much needed vacation! We havent been on a vacation in 4yrs! Other than that we will be hanging out here and there. There are some local places we can go to swim and such plus the lake. Jeremy is only taking one class this summer so it actually going to be great to just hang out, all of us together. Much needed family time in between the Summer Ramps. Ramp Conferences are wonderful and we are excited for them to get started! Nothing like worshiping with 1000+ people, baptisms, and whatever else the Lord's heart desires!

Photography has been slow. I guess because its so hot. I have a few people who want to line up some pics for this summer. So looking forward to those for sure!


We have chickens and the kids have very much enjoyed taking care of them. They haven't started laying eggs yet but feel it will be by the end of the summer. We have 8. They are good chickens and because we have raised them from birth, they are very calm with the kids. Jaxson loves to pick them up. Its a great experience for the kids.

You can feed in your hand and they will eat out of your hand. Jaxson usually does this as a trap. haha Once they come to him, he will grab one. Too
funny!









 Hope you all enjoy your summer. More pics and news coming soon. Until then, stay cool and may God bless you all above and beyond your every need! :)
