Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is my moms birthday! Have a great day Mom! We love you!!!

First day

Our first day of school went really well. My class is full of a bunch of sweet boys & one sweet girl! The morning couldn't have gone better. As the afternoon unfolded, they started acting like a bunch of four year old boys, but I guess that's to be expected! :) My kiddos had a good day too. Adam had lots of fun and came home tired but excited about his day. He even has homework! Everyone loved little Sarah. They said she was so friendly, happy & loved to eat! (yep, that's Sarah!) Her class is so cute, they have a little tiny table with itty bitty chairs. The babies looked so cute sitting around the table for lunch! Misty got a picture of Sarah at the table for me! My camera is not cooperating for me to download the pictures, but I did get a few first day of school pics. We're looking forward to a day off tomorrow, but are excited to go back on Thursday.

Back to school...finally!

I've been talking about this for weeks, but it's finally here! The backpacks are filled, lunches are packed, cookies are baked (you can't have a first day of school without cookies, can you?), new clothes and shoes are all set out & we are going to bed early. It's the night before the first day of school! Yay! I'll be back tomorrow to let you know how it went, I think it will be great!

Fall is in the air

Yay for Fall! I love this time of year. We have so many fun things comming up to be looking forward too, and I love this nice weather we're having! So, here's what we've been up to...

Church- This past Sunday we had our last service in our current church building. I know it's just a building, but I was sad to leave it. I have so many wonderfu memories at that church. I started there as a new Christian. I started getting involved, volunteering, taking Bible study, starting the playgroup. I was baptized there, had both babies dedicated there and met some of my best friends & sisters in Christ. SO much has happened in our lives since we started there. Anyway, I know we're not losing any of that but still it was a bit sad to leave. It's exciting at the same time though. Our new facility is beautiful. It's in a great location off of a major highway. I'm so excited to see what God will do. For any of you who live locally, we'd love for you to join us sometime at our new church!

Back to school- Speaking of the new building, I've been spending lots of time up there getting my new classroom set up. I'm excited to be teaching at the pre-school there. Adam is really excited about starting school again and I know Sarah is going to love it too.

We're back!

We had so much fun on our vacation. We stayed in a really nice house on the beach. We spent lots of time at the beach, playing, relaxing, reading, kite flying, getting in the water. We spent a lot of time at the beach house, relaxing, reading, playing with the kids, enjoying the beautiful view of the ocean. We did a little bit of shopping. We got to visit with my Uncle Greg & Aunt Lyn, and their grandkids. We had a short visit with my cousin Steve and his wife Shannon. We met up with our friend Zac one night. We went to the Rainforest Cafe one night & took the adventure ride there. We ate a lot! ha ha. It was a great trip!

On the way home we stopped at my Uncle Greg's house on Lake Conroe and went for a ride on their boat. They took us across the lake to eat lunch, then we rode the boat back. That wold be a neat way to get around! All of the resturants there have boat parking spots!

The pictures are on a slideshow to the right. If you click on it, the pictures will be larger and you can see the captions. (you can also see the little thumbnails if you want to skip around, there are a lot of them!). Enjoy the pictures! It was lots of fun!

Beach Trip!

The suitcases are packed. Sunscreen, flip flops, sand toys, all seven of Sarah's swim suits (I'm not kidding!). It's all ready! We're so excited. Tomorrow kids, the Grizwall's Garrett's are heading to the beach! See you when we get back!

A few random things...

1. First of all we've been thinking of and praying for our family in Louisiana this week. Everyone is safe, which is the main thing. The main damage we've heard was a big tree falling on my mom's brothers house. (thankfully no one was hurt). They are all without power and we weren't able to get through on anyone's cell phone today. We're still praying for everyone & hope the power gets fixed soon.

2. In other news, Jacob got a (much needed) new car. He's excited. It's a silver Honda Element. It's new and really nice. The mom side of me loves that the floorboards are made out of rubber instead of carpet (so easy to clean!). Although I have a feeling it will be a while before anyone gets to eat or drink anything in it!

3. Adam and Sammy went with my mom & her friends with grandkids, to see the play, Peter Pan. They had a great time. Adam has been playing like he's a pirate ever since. The pirate name he made up for himself is Sleaton. I have no idea where that's from!

4. We are getting so excited about our beach trip with my family! While everyone else is wrapping up their summer we are going to enjoy one more lazy week!

I guess thats about it for now. Hope you are all having a good week!
