fun with the girls at church

Each Wednesday Natalie goes to church from 7:00 -8:30. This is a time each week the girls gather together to build friendships, do service projects and just enjoy being with other kids with similar standards.

I loooove this picture of Natalie

Values to live by.... I love this picture of Natalie on the top of this plaque is says

" Integrity"

I will have moral courage to make my actions

consistent with my knowledge of right and wrong!

A ride on the golf cart pleeease....

All the kids love riding on the Golf Cart.

Rick even had seat belts put on to be a little safer!When the golf course isn't busy.... we let them loose. This day we had
Alex, Jayden and Macie.

A picture speaks a thousand words! love it!

the lake house 2011

The Lake house was a lot of fun this summer. I was so against renting it... Rick was right we had a blast! Everyone loved it.

Natalie learned to wake -skate, I remembered how to slalom ski!

The kids all tubed and drove the jet skis ,

Long hot summer days!

The Lake is where to be!

Fun Fun Fun!!!

Brianna Carter going away party

Brianna is going on a mission!

We decided to throw her a party before she leaves..

What are some of her favorite things.... Beach ,sand,shells, flip flops & friends!

Rick & I have truly loved spending time with this special girl. When I think back

to all the memories.... it sure puts a smile on my face.

Things I love about Brianna????...everything!

Honestly , I love this girl like my own daughter.

Brianna and Natalie are more like sisters than friends. They have so much in

common. Even though we will miss her..... I'm happy for her... a great opportunity!

We love you Bri!

Forever & Ever!!!
