Hello? Hellllloooo?

Blogging has been a bit sparse lately for me...... Schedule changes are making time to blog a bit tough.... Hopefully I can blog 3 times a week.... that's my goal for the next few months... I'm sure all 4 of you appreciate that.....

So, the latest developments.... Griffin started preschool last week - yes, Vange cried!

Lifepoint spent yesterday at a local gas station serving the community and paying 50 cents for every gallon of gas that customers bought. It was an incredible experience.

Camping - finally we are taking the family camping... we are going to have a blast!

Olympics - I'm already having withdrawal symptoms..... All I can say is the USA rocks! What were your favorite sports to watch? We were hooked on Volleyball, Swimming, and Gymnastics. There were a bunch of cool events though... Kayaking? very cool! Soccer? Gotta love it. Probably my biggest surprise sport that I really enjoyed was Water Polo.

Until next time...

Live loud, live intentionally, and love God and Family with every word and every action.

Vacation

I'm blogging from Cocoa Beach, FL. The family is having a great time. Dawson and Griffin got out of the car Sunday afternoon and ran full speed to the ocean.... They did not even think about putting on a swimsuit. Ashli and Haley are loving the waves. We went across the street and bought body boards (boogie boards) for all the kids. Vange is in Heaven just hanging on the beach. Aunt B (my sister) came with us and is enjoying the escape from everyday life... I got to go to THE Ron Jon Surf Shop today and bought a Skim Board.... Of course I had to get back to the beach and try it. All I can say is I'm an excellent Skim Boarder!! (OK - that translates into "I finally rode it a few feet without falling") Sea World was sweet! .... Here are a few pics:
