Play Time!





I love watching the kids when they are playing. They grow up so fast, but on the playground, they still get to act like little kids. This playground is so cool. It is set up like a castle. The kids had a great time and would have stayed all day if we hadn't gotten so hungry!


Up, Up and Away!



We had a full day planned this Sat. We got up really early and headed out to Antelope Island for the Balloon Fest. The whether was really nice at our house, but out on the island, it was so windy and even had a few sprinkles at times. Not ideal whether for a hot air balloon fest! Only two balloons were able to inflate and take off. Needless to say, the kids were not overly impressed with our choice of activities. They did have fun flying their new kites though!

The Girls


I am so lucky to have such a wonderful mom myself. She is always so willing to come out and help with the kids when she is needed. Lucky for us, Alicia and her son Timmy, even got to come out for a little visit this summer too. It was so much fun to have some time with them before Issac and I got to take off for a business trip to Georgia. I can't wait until they move out here. I miss them all so much and look forward to the time when we can go shopping together and just hang out whenever we feel like it.


My Angel





I couldn't even have dreamed just how wonderful it would be to have a little girl. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my boys and have a ton of fun with each of them, but the relationship between a mother and daughter is truly amazing. McKenna is a constant source of happiness. Her big bright eyes and beautiful smile, melt my heart. This little girl is going to get everything she wants. She is such a girly girl too. She already loves to play with my makeup and jewelry. Anything circular goes on her wrist like a bracelet and she has to show it off to everyone. I love how much fun it is to dress her every morning too. Girl clothes are so much more fun and cute than boys. For her birthday, we gave McKenna her first doll and she just loves it. She carries her around and huggs her all day. I am so grateful for the blessings of being a mother, and especially of being the mother to my little angel.

I suck!

I really don't know how everyone does this. I can't find the time to keep up with everything. The summer was totally uneventful. The only trip we took was for a weekend to Georgia for business. Not exactly a vacation, but it was time away from the kids.
The boys are back in school now, Wesley is in 5th grade and Damon is in 4th. Rhett is 3 and McKenna is 1. I can' t believe how fast this past year has gone.
Issac is still with Aflac and starting to really find some good accounts. FYI, if any of you out there do not have Aflac insurance, you are only hurting yourself. Call your local agent and find out what they offer, especially if you are thinking about having a baby. Ok, there is my little sales pitch.
Besides a busy schedule again, we are all doing great.
