Gasp.....

Some of you may think by just reading this blog that my life is all red roses. Wellll, hold your breath....it is NOT. I struggle often and often question God as to why He has entrusted me with these 3 beauties and why he has given me such an amazing husband and family and WHY on earth he has lit a fire in my heart to raise many more children. I have no idea. But I can glory in the fact that God knows and I can find rest in that! I often get caught up in lots of things of this world and it starts to get me down. If I meditate on God's WORD and rest in His Truths I can make it through the day-And that is HONESTLY the TRUTH. I can only find STRENGTH through HIM and in HIM. I have so much to learn and so MANY more pages of the BIBLE to read. For right know I'm going to continue to get to know my Heavenly Father better EACH any EVERY day. I also have to remember that Danny and I are suppose to be modeling Jesus to our children and we are to be their Spiritual teachers in the home. Man oh man is it a BIG JOB. And I really do Love it- sometimes I just get grumpy-But on this blog I usually only post the HAPPY moments. So here is to many more happy moments posted right here on this wee blog of mine!

Oh how we love you San Fransisco

FF Olympics, Santa Clara

Danny really does have another family-his firefighting family-He spends almost as much time with them as he does with us. So I love going to the olympics and spending a week with the GUYS and their families, just getting to know them better myself. This was our 3rd year going and it is so much fun and a lot of work but it was worth it. We took our 10 year old nephew Clayton. Clayton was a huge help. We swam, cheered, bonded, ate, won and lost. In the end the boys took home the BRONZE!

A Couple Days of SAN DIEGO

Maritime museum, too much food, sleeping in, constant coffee, jumping on beds, fireworks, walks, swimming for hours, watching TV in bed, daily family devotion time, Birch Aquarium.

Watching the fish get fed.


I touched the sea cucumber!

I love this one, doesn't the lobster look real?



Teegan wanted his picture taken with the shark.

Dinner and Cold Stone in Old Town.


They swam for hours.

Watching the Sea World fireworks from our bed.

Waiting for dinner by the fire pit.

We stayed right on the water in Mission Bay.

The hotel had beautiful flowers everywhere.


So many boats to see and the kids enjoyed all of them.

Teegan checked out every single gadget.

Tatum and I in the submarine.
