Family picture from Thanksgiving

It is rare to get a picture of the 5 of us.  No one in our family likes the picture taking process.  Aunt Shelly knows how to snap only a couple....I think it was 2 this time.  She is fast and so sweet the boys cooperate for her.  You should hear the flack they give me. It could be due to the fact that I take a gazillion and none of them turn out well. The truth of the matter is that I have to take a gazillion because the boys hassle me and misbehave!   Thanks Aunt Shelly.

This is the picture I took with my Iphone before we left.

Halloween

White chocolate ghosts, pumpkin carving and black cats!  One super cute and precious black cat!

Soccer for the first time

Anna has watched her brothers play soccer for years.  She thought it was time she get in the game.  She is pretty good, had a great time and learned a lot about how to play.

Back to School

We homeschool but in August our Timothy Program starts back.  We go on Tuesdays.  Anna takes Spanish, Art, Ballet and Recorder. It is a great program and she loves it. Also provides opportunities for both of us to socialize with friends!

Summer treats

When we weren't swimming or hanging out at the beach, us girls were making some treats over the summer!  Whoopie pies Anna made for friends coming over.

A Pink Lemonade Cake at the beach.

And a chocolate pie with fresh whipped cream!  Summer fun.

This cookie cake Anna decorated for Father's Day.  It was loaded with icing and sprinkles.
Just the way Dad likes it!  

Sea Turtles at the Beach

We woke up to sea turtle patrol out on the beach, so Anna and I took off the to see the event!  The crew had to carefully dig up and relocate the nest of over 100 eggs.  Moved them straight back as the mother turtle laid her eggs too close to the tide.  So glad we got to see.

Will Graduates

Hard to believe Will is in the graduating class of 2012! Been a tough spring for him recovering from major surgery. He was set on walking down to get his diploma.  He did just that!  We are so proud of you Will! You have an amazing school record. More importantly, your love for Jesus shines through you! Congrats!  Well done!

Standing by his senior table.  Lots of awards and achievements..........sports, academics and leadership. Our favorite was his "most Christ like" awards.
