Ashley Graduated from Early Morning Seminary

I have homeschooled Ashley since the 6th grade and she was able to graduate last summer. Since she graduated a year early she decided to attend a local college full time this past year. She recently graduated from Seminary, which means 4 years of getting up at 5:30 am and going to church to learn about the scriptures. I am so proud of her. It is exciting to see my oldest growing into a young woman but it also is hard to realize my baby girl will be 18 in one month. I love her more than she will ever know and I am so proud of her!

Long over due vacation to South Padre

We have not been on a vacation for three years due to school and Jacob's long stay in the hospital two years ago. We love going to the beach. This year we went to South Padre and stayed in a three bedroom condo on the beach. It was so relaxing and everyone had a great time. The kids loved to swim in the pool, swim in the ocean and taking long walks on the beach. Mike and I went on a date one night. We took a walk on the boardwalk and saw many species of birds and even saw an alligator in the wild. Then we walked to the Bay side and watched the sun set. The whole trip was fun and totally relaxing. I am already wishing we could go back.

Hannah's 5th Birthday

This is such a late post but I wanted it on the blog so bare with me as I update the important things that I did not blog about when I was in school full time :)
We are so very thankful that we could celebrate this special birthday with little Miss Hannah. She is totally a Gift from God.
