Father's Day weekend

This past weekend, Adam ran in a 5K race. It was a fundraiser for Ellie's Run for Africa. A very cool charity. We even saw some celebs there. We saw Melinda Dolittle, Andrew Osenga and Matt Wertz. That was cool too. What was really cool was watching Adam get beat by a girl. Just kidding. He knew he could beat her but would feel stupid stepping on the gas just to beat a girl. If you look real close, you can see his time. Not bad.


At this fundraiser there was a lot of blow up jumpy things that kids got to play on. One detail these pictures do not show is that it had been raining on and off all morning. As soon as Adam stood up, it looked like he just went swimming.


On Sunday, we did the whole whatever daddy wants to do day. I got Adam a pair of golf shorts but they are too big.We went to church and then went to the pool before lunch. It was absolutely gorgeous out. Here is my tip of the week as a swim instructer, take your toddlers into the water as soon as possible. Elizabeth loves the water and swimming all the way under. Sometimes she does it all by herself. Way cool. After the pool, we came home for lunch,naps and golf on TV. YIPPEE!! Anyways, I went to my soccer game, played pretty well and chipped a tooth. That is not cool. We do not have dental insurance so I was quite frustrated that this happpened. Thankfully enough it is not that big and we can wait. We won the game minus part of a tooth.

These next 2 weeks will be hectic. We are helping friends of ours move this weekend and then the following week,we will be painting our place and then moving in on the 27th. This means we need to pack ourselves this week!!Yikes, I have like 2 boxes. Better get a move on.

Swingtown!!!!!!!

Ok, I have seen the ad for this new series enough times to be shocked! What has Hollywood come to? As I was thinking about what to write, I didn't just want to go on and on. I then remembered another show I was shocked at. I think it was called Daniel or some other biblical name. I want to say it was on CBS? Maybe over 2 years ago?

Anyways, when we were living in Chicago we listened to MBI in the mornings. And I had heard that people were boycotting watching this show because how wrong it was. And it got cancelled. I think as Christians here is another chance to do the same. I feel this show is way worse and can show not just adults but teenagers who have access to this show what the world has to offer (things do not bring glory and honor to God). These teenagers will see that it is ok to break away from a monogamous scared marriage into one filled with sex with others, male or female. Lord Protect them!!!!


I am off of my pedastal.

We reach a scorching 95 degrees today and I wonder what will August look like?

I am super excited today. I have not seen one of my greatest friends in over a year and I get to see her today!! Praise Jesus!!!

I pray anyone reading this has at least one friend whom you call or email with anything. I can do this with Erica. We have been friends for 10 years!!! And to start off we did not have a lot in common at first. Now, it does not matter, I love her anyways.

We have been very busy lately. Elizabeth is learning to put 2 words together to communicate which has been rather enjoyable. She will say things like"me hand." Sometimes that means she wants you to hold her hand or perhaps there is something wrong with her hand. Her best one is "Want to hug you." This always means she wants to be picked up. Interesting that she uses that term "hug" because when asked she can give a hug. Another favorite which is actually more than 2 words,"I don't like it." She only says this when she is given something to eat that she does not like, which is almost everything. We are making progress on eating, she will eat peanut butter sandwiches, carrots, occasional broccoli (tree) and grilled cheese. These are added to her menu.


The picture of the 3 girls was taken at a friend's house while celebrating a birthday. We have known this family for awhile even before we moved. These 3 girls get a long great. The 4 year old loves playing with the 2 almost 2 year olds especially now that they are all very mobile.

Nothing else for now. Onto Extreme Home Makeover.
