Love love love this song. Click the link and go to minute 2:15.


Such a sweet reminder of the fact that we don't have to know everything or understand everything. Because we know the one who does know all and holds us...


Thank you Lord.



Quote of the day: Don't be a thermometer, be a thermostat. Thermometers only measure the temperature around them. Thermostats change it.

Take our children to work day! Thursday!

Today was take your Child to work day!

Kacey had mandatory basketball so it was just myself and Grace for the day.

We had a fun day and got to spend some much needed time together!

Waiting for Extreme chill to start...

Frozen marshmallows have become a tradition!


She made a homemade rocket and here she is testing it out.

It was pretty impressive I must say... But you can tell the kids who had engineer parents...

yeah, but sometimes those kids over think and their rocket is to heavy and it nose dives! Just sayin.... more isn't always better.


Making a flying shuttle.

Grace had a 5:30 hot softball game when we returned home. I don't remember sweating so much just sitting in a long time... Kacey worked the dug out for me...

I still kept the book but didn't take pictures... :-(

When we got home the girls played with a new friend that was hanging out by the creek in our yard.

I think they were torturing him.... He escaped with the help of Greg putting him closer to the water.

Happy Thursday!

Softball in the HEAT!

Saturday we had a 12 noon game...

in 90+ heat....

We love softball

we love summer sun

but the two do not mix well.

Frog tog Chilly pads, Gatorade and lots of water and its still miserable.

My girl didn't wear her pants on Saturday and tonight didn't wear her frog socks. It's NOT supposed to be 100 in early June... just sayin..........










Ready to trade our bat in for goggles .... I think so!

Happy Birthday Grace! Better late than never!

Warning this is a long post with lots of pictures....

We celebrated Grace's birthday this weekend. With Softball and Kacey's travel basketball we celebrated late but it worked out beautifully... by waiting the pools are open and she got to have a pool party... so instead of late I think it was perfect timing...

It was one of our favorite parties so far... Thank you for all our friends and family who came to help us celebrate.

We slide into summer and Grace has slide into being 10!
