Summer is here.

I haven't blogged in a while because we have been so busy with the end of school, work stuff, student ministry stuff, and just daily craziness. Also, Dan gets all the good blogs about family happenings. Maybe because he always has his beloved mac book open.:) Anyway, this is our second summer in the great state of Texas, and it is hot!! We spend almost everyday these days in our community pool. I have to admit I am glad we decided to buy with a private pool. Its so nice. The boys love the water and whats better to do on a hot day.

Dan and I are in talks of signing up Josiah for fall soccer. Josiah is so excited. I think that it would be good for him. He loves to run and kick stuff. Neither one of us know the rules of the game so I hope he has a great coach that will teach the parents as well. His first sport choice is basketball,( Uncle Mike would be so proud) but for now he will try soccer.

Jackson is doing great. He is all over the place. I would guess within the next month he will be walking or running. Every once in a while he will stand by himself and get all excited and fall. I love watching him chase Joe around the house though. He climbs all over Joe and wrestling with him. If you didn't know my husband loves the UFC and Dan and Joe's watch it almost every week. It will come back to haunt us when he practices on Jackson. I am so thankful for a healthy baby these days. We are in a very good place with him.

I have been enjoying a few nights out with friends. My MOPS group (mothers of preschoolers) decided to do a book club over the summer and I thought it would be fun. If you know me I don't love to read. I wish that I did, I am just in that season in my life where when I have a moment all I want to do is sleep. Kids are exhausting. Anyway, We read the book, The Shack. I am almost done and I really like it. It is Non-fiction so read with caution, but it paints a beautiful picture of the love our father has for us. I would recommend it. Some we have met twice to discuss the book and a hour meeting turns into four. It is so nice to have a group of women to just hang out with. I prayed and prayed when we moved here that I would find someone that I could trust and just have a friendship with. Well, my prayers were answered three fold. I am so thankful for the women in my life. I am excited about what God has for us here.
