Well, I knew that I was behind on updating everyone on our lives, but had no idea how many things had passed until I uploaded pictures from my camera. School ended for Ashlyn and she is officially a second grader, passing with flying colors! I'd like to give a loud "HOORAY FOR SUMMER! GOODBYE ALARM CLOCK!" shout-out to all my blogging friends. The week before school was out Ashlyn had her field day at school. Here are a few pics:
tug of war
one of Ashlyn's biggest fans!
the backwards scooter race
and the hippity hop race (which you can tell was way bigger than she!)
our cutie-patootie! She is talking up a storm and loves playing with "Ashey" and Laney!
We went to amazing Dr. Mendeloff's surprise birthday party. My mouth dropped when I saw on the cake that it was his 50th. We are so thankful God graced the world and our lives with this man for our Reesie.
We visited some of our dearest friends!
Ashlyn and her A honor roll award, as well as her trustworthines award. I finally got her to give me a smile...
All of us girls have gotten our cute summer haircuts!
Reesie got her first haircut ever! Just a trim...didn't want to cut off any of the cute littlecurls that she's been blessed with. We have no idea where they've come from but they're adorable!
Family movie night was a hit! And apparently my "extra padding" comes in nicely for pillows for everyone in the family...dog included :0)!
We finished up Ashlyn's t-ball season which was a lot of fun.
Here are the girls with their amazing summer nanny. Lauren grew up in our youth group here at the church and is now a sophomore at OU. The girls are in love with her and she makes things so fun! Today she brought over 6 different purses for the girls to play with. Last week they made cookies, got to wear Lauren's old prom dresses and had Wacky Wednesday which included Lauren coming over in pj pants and slippers. She loves the Lord and loves my children. I can't tell you how amazing it is to have her! As you can tell, she is greatly loved in turn.
I've also gone on a week long mission trip to San Antonio with a group of 8th graders which was wonderful. My brother, Andy, and his family came up to Dallas and we got a quick visit with them.

If you know me at all you know I love summer! Seriously, no alarm clock! Girls Bible study at my house, lots of time at the pool, getting tan, time to do extra fun things with the girls. Have i mentioned no alarm clock? We are even going to get to slip away at some wonderful church friends beautiful lakehouse in a few weeks. I'll be back soon to share some things God has been laying on my heart, but at least you have a little more idea of what is going on in our lives! Blessings to you!
