Great Few Days

These are pics from the dinner last night.

Well, the last few days have just been great! Rob has been home alot, and we have been able to spend alot of time together as a family. Last night, Rob and I went to a dinner for "The Dinner of Champion." This was a benefit to help provide funds for free sports camps for the youth. There were alot of pro athletes there, and the key speaker was track and field hall of fame, Jim Ryun. He gave his testimony, and it was AWESOME! We also got to watch the clip of him break the world record when it showed on ABC World Wide of Sports in black and white. It was so neat! Today, we all went to the beach and had a great time! Both of my kiddos love to play in the water and be outside. Rob has to work tomorrow, but then he is off Fri and Sat!! YAY!!!

Good Sunday

Awwww.....what a good day today. We went to church, did some grocery shopping, and then took a nap (3 hours!) It was awesome! To top it all off- we had pb&j sandwiches for dinner! There is nothing like pb&j with the kids for supper!!! Lovin' my family and my God!! Good Sunday to you all!

Marriage

It is SO hard sometimes!!! Today has been a really hard day - this is Rob's long week at work, meaning we will only see him Tuesday and Thursday this ENTIRE week. 2 out of 7 days is not alot. Sometimes I feel like I am doing everything on my own, and it is sooooo...hard to not get discouraged. All day I have been feeling bummed out about being here in SC and feeling so alone. I always thought that my husband and I would have dinners together with our family in the evenings and tuck the kids into bed together and then have time alone- just one on one adult time. That is very rare here these days. It seems like he is always at work. I know that it is not his fault, and I always seem to take it out on him. Well, I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself and reading someone elses blog when the song "How Great is Our God" started playing. Wow!!! I felt like He was telling me to hang in there - that I need to show Rob the love that He has shown us and continues to show us. Pray - all I need to do is pray, and He will give me the strength. I'm not alone - He is here with me all of the time! Isn't it great - how God talks to us and WAKES us up - reminds us that He is here!!?! "How Great is Our God?" There are no words to describe how great He is!!!! I feel the love! :)

Still Raining

It is still raining here, so we couldn't go to the pool or the beach again today. Sooo...we went bowling with some friends and to the drive-in to see the movie "Up." It was so cute!!!!!! It highly recommend it!!! :)

Raining again!

Well, we were going to go to the pool today, but it started to rain again this afternoon. We have been getting these storms in the afternoons a lot lately. I love a good rain, but I would also like to get these kids out of the house today!!! :) Oh well- I'll just open the windows and enjoy the sounds and the smells of the storm!!!

June ALREADY!!!

Bella's 7th Birthday Party - 50's theme bowling party.

I was trying to get a pic of the kids together at the beach- Parker wouldn't sit still though.

My family plus one at the air show.

Parker, Rob, and the Jacksonville Jaguar cheerleaders.

The plane that Rob got to fly on.

Where has this year gone? I haven't posted in awhile. Let's see.....We got back home to SC, and 5 days later, I had to turn around and go back to Texas for my grandmother's funeral. We knew that it was coming, but that never really makes it easier when the time for them to go does actually happen. She had so many friends and family at the visitation and at her funeral. I got to hear so many great stories about her that I had never heard before. I wish that I had more time to sit and listen to these stories! I will remembe them always!!

I flew back to SC, and life has been busy, busy since then. The weather has been pretty good, so we have gotten to enjoy the beach a few times. We went to the Blue Angels air show. Rob got to ride in the Blue Angels C130 plane "Fat Albert." He was so super excited about that. Bella finished softball- YAY!!! I have decided I am not a BIG fan of softball, and either is Bella! I think that we may just stick to soccer and basketball for now. Nothing else has really happeend. Rob applied for the MECEP program again this year. He has his interview board yesterday, so we are praying that he gets thru! I'll post a few pics of what has been going on here lately!
