Well, we are really looking forward to our family vacation coming up. This year, we decided to stay close to home and go to the west coast of Florida. Check it out. http://www.palmislevillage.com/ We leave Saturday for a fun filled week with a couple other families that will join us. This place looks really cool and the beach is just right there. I'm looking forward to this time away spending it with friends and family.

Beach Day!
Friday, we went to the beach with a bunch of people. Erika, the photographer, seemed to capture some pictures of the kiddos having fun in the ocean.
I found that sliders worked well under Josh' bathing suit this time. The last time we were at the beach, the poor boy had a nice rash! Well, I think I've taken care of that!
I can't wait to go back to the beach. It was a blast!

No Shoes, No Service!
So, what do you do when you get to your destination (orthodontist) and your 10 year old leaves his shoes at home?
Well, you send your daughter in without you, sit in the car, windows rolled down (because you don't want to run the car because of gas prices), sweat profusely in the 93 degree heat, and try to have as much fun as possible for the next 45 minutes!
Yes, this kind of stuff happens pretty regularly in this family. And, the funny thing is, I don't have babies or toddlers! We just have Josh! A young boy who keeps us going!

In Full Bloom
Erika took some pictures of God's beauty in full bloom. Can you name these flowers? Or, is one a weed, one a flower, and one a bush?
NY Trip
Here are some pictures that Erika took while up in NY visiting my parents. She has become quit the photographer. I know what she will be asking to get for Christmas. Oh... maybe I should just give her my camera and I can get a new one!
Doing Hard Things
Well, while Erika and Josh were in NY visiting my parents, I spent some time reading, cleaning, organizing, getting curriculum ready for this coming school year, spending time with my hubby and catching up with some friends.
However, the book Do Hard Things by the Harris twins was in my opinion really good. The premise of the book is to do hard things for the glory of God. They use the term "rebelutionaries" which means people against low expectations. And though this book focused on teens, it certainly applies to everyone. I was very challenged and look forward to putting into practice by doing some hard things. In addition, Erika will be reading this book for part of her schooling next year. I just can't wait to go over it with her!
