So much to post...I don't think I'll even skim the surface of all that's going on for us lately.  So- I'll begin with my thoughts for right now.  I EXPECT BIG THINGS for our family!!!  I have no idea what our future will look like...but, I am excited for it!  I know we will have bumps along the way and difficult things to handle...but- I believe all of those bumps make us better people and we will be given what we need to handle anything that comes our way.  My goal is to remember and be thankful for all the wonderful moments in life we've already had, enjoy the current moment and be excited for the amazing road ahead. 

That being said...here are some memories made that I cherish.

It cracks me up when the kids get my camera and take silly pictures.  

Though Hannah looks mad, she is just being her usual nutty self.

We went to a blueberry farm with some good friends of ours!  

I tell ya...picking blueberries can be extremely relaxing.

 My honey sent me flowers.  Gosh I love that man.  I'm so thankful he loves me too!

These videos are from Hannah's golf lesson.  Her teacher is pretty strict with her.  

But, she really likes him and doesn't mind that he's strict.  I like that he doesn't baby her.

This video and these pictures are from the Dancing in the Streets festival we went to.

Last Saturday we had at least 40 people over for a party with the Japanese exchange students and their host families.  It was a BLAST!  It was fun watching the Japanese kids make s'mores for the first time and roast hotdogs over the camp fire.  I got to hang out with the host parents of the exchange students....what an amazing group of people.  We all laughed our butts off and even cried a little at some incredible stories as people opened up about their lives.  I was very energized by this party and realize more than ever that I LOVE people.
