Swimming Lessons

Miss Haydyn started swimming lessons this week and DOES NOT LIKE IT!!! Austyn and her go to Mrs. Carolyn and she is awesome. I started Austyn at 14 months and he screamed the first 3 weeks but now he is a fish and a great swimmer. Its hard seeing her cry and just hang on me when its not her turn but I know its for her own good and she needs to know how to swim. It's such a great feeling when your kids know how to swim, Austyn was swimming before he was 2 so hopefully soon she will be the same way. I give it a couple more weeks and hopefully all those tears will go away and she will come up smiling!!! I had to stand on the diving board and drop her in and I never knew how strong that girl was until that!! Her little friend Ava is in her class and she loves it so hopefully she will see Ava so happy and realize its not that bad!!!

Close your mouth!!

California 2008

We had such a wonderful time in California. The weather was beautiful and the kids had a blast. We stayed at a beach house in Ventura, so it was right on the beach and also a private beach, so it was very calm and relaxing. Haydyn loved going out into the ocean with her daddy,and Austyn would stay out on the beach for 6 hours everyday. Austyn is my tan banana. LUCKY boy, since his mom never tans. My mom, dad, sister and little brother also went and we are so blessed to have such a wonderful family and that we can go on vacations like this together and have so much fun!! Thanks guys for going with us. GOD is so good to us and we love him very much. He not only blessed us with this wonderful vacation and family, but also blessed us with a new house while we were gone. They accepted our offer and we move in on July 11th. PRAISE GOD!!

California here we come!!

We leave for California on Saturday and can't wait!! We have had a CRAZY month to say the least and with the house stuff (didn't realize how much time and work goes into selling and buying a house) and Haydyn's party we almost didn't go, but realized we all could use some away time. We are staying at a beach house with my family in Ventura. We go to Huntington every year for the 4th but couldn't get a house this year around that time. We have never been to Ventura so this will be new for all of us. When we get back we have Haydyn's 1st birthday party, have to be out of our house, and we put a offer on a house today and PRAY that they except our offer. If they do then we can go straight from here to the new house instead of moving twice, which is what I am praying for. We know as a family that GOD has our house picked out and has a plan for us so we are letting him take control and leaving it in his hands and if its meant to be it will ALL work out!!

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

SOLD!!!

Yes, we sold our house!!! We sold it last week and was just waiting on the final "stuff" with the buyers bank. We also sold it in less than 3 months which was great because this market is horrible. We have to be out in about 4 weeks so I am stressing a little since this month is crazy, but we offered them a lease back option until July 14th and they said "YES"!! I am having a hard time with this, I know we need to get something bigger but we have ALOT of memories here and I have the best neighbors, huge back yard and a very "Closed" street. Its great when the kids want to play because its one of the those streets if you don't live on it than you shouldn't have to come down it. I know the new owners will love this house and hope they can share as many wonderful memories here as we have!!
