Lexi's Birthday Luau

My sweet baby girl, Alexia, turned 9 years old a couple of weeks ago. She loves to plan out her own parties, so she decided on a Hawaiian Luau. She has been planning this party for a few months now, so any time we saw any Luau themed decorations, we would buy them. Plus our sweet Aunt Donna had lots of cute Hawaiian decorations that she let us use. Thank you Donna, your the best! It rained off and on during the party and was very HUMID, but we had a great time!

Hawaiian Beauties!

I found this verse today and thought it was beautiful! So maybe some of you are in need of hearing this verse today. So, I thought I would share.

Do not be anxious about ANYTHING, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

Also, Alexia had her birthday party on Saturday and it turned out great. I will post pictures some time this week.

Once apon a Time .......... I was a blogger

I know, I know, I've missed a few months of blogging, more like EIGHT, but who's counting! I know I could never catch up on all the things that have happened, but here are a few of the things that have been going on in our life .................... Our trip to Washington D C was really amazing. It was the coldest place I have ever been, but we got to see so many things. It was a non-stop trip full of sites! I am so glad we got to go, but boy was it packed full of action! It was also Austin's first time to fly in an airplane, that was cool too.

We were able to see the Changing of the Guards

Then there was grilling!

We love us some Bar-B-Q! YUM!!

Austin turned 13 this year!

How in the world did this happen, my baby is a TEENAGER!!!!

He got lots of money from his friends and family:)

Then there was fun in the sun.

Alexia and Caleb had lots of fun on the slip and slide!

Our annual trip to the beach

This is my favorite vacation, just relaxing and having a good time!

Uncle Sean and Caleb

Caleb turned 5 this year, he got TWO new bikes for his birthday!

Now, the most exciting thing going on in our house right now............

FOOTBALLLLLL!!!!!!!

Austin decided to play football this year and Sean could not be more EXCITED!

We all love football in this house, but Sean is almost giddy!

Austin is #99

Going to Austin's first school football game

Go Westside!

Hopefully I won't wait another eight months before I do this again, but I won't count on it.

See Ya!
