San Francisco

We went to San Francisco this weekend for Father's Day. Our kids had never been to northern California. We had a really nice time. The weather was perfect, company was awesome. I think we will be making a few more trips up here.

Basketball camp

Today is Emily's last day of basketball camp. She said she is learning lots and meeting a lot of new people that she will be going to school with next year. Yesterday after I picked her up she was having a hard time walking because her legs are very sore from all the squats they are doing. I am very proud that she is getting active in something she likes!!!!! I am looking forward to this next school year to watch her blossom into a very fine young lady. Emily is going to play golf in the fall and basketball in the winter. She says she is not playing a spring sport, because she wants to watch Jacob's baseball games. She is such an AWESOME sister!!!!!!

I just love that smile

Laughing at Mama

It is so hard to believe that we have been home with Hannah for eleven months. We just love this little girl to pieces. She is so funny and loving. I just love the way she is trying to say words, jumping off the couches and landing flat on your feet, singing songs in the car, the pitter patter of you little feet running down the hall calling for mama or daddy. You have brought so much JOY into our lives. You are a gift from GOD!! We love you Hannah Mei Joy!!!

Basketball camp

Emily is attending a basketball camp at BCHS this week. She is learning lots and lots. Tonight we were at dinner and she says mom there are muscles that are sore that I never knew I had. I think they are working them out!!! She only has a couple more days.

The Feidler's

David's cousin Janina and family came from Colorado! It was awesome to see them. We had a wonderful visit. It was sad to see them go! Hopefully we will get to see them in November if we get to go back for Thanksgiving.

Disney Marriage Proposal

The Baxter's are a very special family to us. This is the family that we met in Savannah, Georgia about three years ago. Troy and April had just adopted a beautiful little girl from China. This little girl is the one that melted David's heart. Ellee Lu thank you!!!

Hannah had a wonderful time playing with them. She played as if they had known each other forever. Thank you Baxter's for answering all my questions about adoption, cleft lips and palates. It was great seeing!!!!! Praise God for our beautiful girls!!!!!!

Jacob decided that he wanted to repaint his room also so we had two rooms being paint at once. His room was navy blue and beige before, now it is lite blue and green.

Book Burning

Emily had a book burning party! Yes we let her burn her History book and all activity books. It was actually funny to see the girls get into burning their books and papers.

Emily's bedroom

Emily wanted to paint her room a different color. Her room was blue, lime green and purple. We now have orange, yellow and blue walls and hot pink trim.
