We've had more FUN this summer than I can count. When we aren't camping, we are spending time with family. We know school is right around the corner and we are soaking in every single moment.
I know that I don't but I feel like I've got the best kids in the world. I know every parent feels that way about their kids and they SHOULD! These four have their moments...trust me...but I couldn't be more blessed to be their mother. They make my heart so full!
We went with Poppa and Honey to Dinosaur Valley State Park for the 4th of July. We went to a Ranger game on the 4th and I got teary eyed more than once about how patriotic and beautiful it was. It's so nice to see so many people stand, honor and respect our country and our flag. It was so refreshing to see! Our trip got cut short because Honey had some troubles with her heart being out of rhythm. She has since had an ablation and all is well. Praise GOD! We were all worried about her. The morning before we left we went to see some of the dinosaur tracks. We didn't see it all and already have plans to go back with Poppa and Honey at some point to try this trip again!
About two weeks ago we all went to White River Youth Camp for the week.
We were all super excited.
I can't believe my oldest baby was a camper this year!
I have to say my heart sunk a little when I walked away. I'm being a little dramatic because Tye and I were teachers so we literally walked to the other end of camp BUT STILL...she is my baby and she's big.
The first morning of camp Tye did the lake side devotion. I was proud of him because he doesn't really like to teach and he especially doesn't like to be in front of people. Believe it or not, he's shy! Anyway, to see Ayden's face light up and the boys when they saw it was THEIR daddy teaching was enough to make it all worth it.
Halfway through the week and with a smiling face!

Camp will wear a girl out!
These two have been friends forever and I hope it always stays that way.
Ayden had a wonderful week. She wasn't sure about going to bed late without telling us goodnight but had an epiphany that her parents "are right across camp" and she shouldn't be sad! I'm thankful for that epiphany she had (after I had told her that exact sentence about a million times) because she was able to enjoy her week. She was able to see Jesus in a new environment with new people and I couldn't be more thankful for this experience. Tye and I taught 6th grade and that was fun and new and an adventure! We all loved camp and can't wait to go back next year. I could've stayed longer!!
