Independence Day

 Happy Monday, Tuesday, I mean Wednesday!  We had a fun weekend and a day celebrating our freedom.  Just as I was feeling better, my parents and Makena started getting sick, but we ended up having a good fourth.  And now poor Carl is getting it :(  We are just praying that it passes him quickly and Trey doesn't get it because we are leaving next week for the beach!

Here we are, just cruising into the holiday!
Boone loves to go riding on the Ranger.

Since my parents were sick, we ended up cooking fish and eating here at our house.  It gave me a chance to play hostess, which I don't mind since we have plenty of room now!

All of my girls!

I didn't get a picture of all of the boys, but they were all there cooking (and flapping their jaws :) )

Carl worked hard and fixed the best fish.
Papa would have been proud!

It was nice that my sister's kids and husband were able to be with us this year.

I barely got Trey's legs as he jumped off of the diving board.
He had a good time with his cousins.

Carl and Caleb were trying to talk amongst all of the kids

Noah David had a pistol sparkler :) You're never too old for fireworks

I love this land.  I love that it was built on the principle of freedom! I believe in freedom to the core of my soul.  It's at the foundation of everything I believe in. I believe that freedom is precious, sacred, and fragile.  I love this young bold country and love the fact that it all started because of a few that understood the value of freedom and were brave enough to put up a fight and claim their independence! I celebrate the 4th of July and the spirit of independence and freedom that this great nation carries.  
I am also fully aware of the heartache and division all around us, and I pray that as Americans, we ALL come together and be more united than ever by loving, praying for, respecting each other and moving forward to make our country and even better place. So proud to be an American.
Hope you all had an amazing 4th of July!

Much Love,
Beth

Three Doses of Happiness

Laundry piled up, dishes in the sink, phone buzzing with many emails, toys all over the house.......sounds like an absolute perfect time to go outside and relax with my kiddos! Today has been a VERY warm day.  It probably would be more enjoyable if we didn't know that it would more than likely storm tonight!  Carlie didn't go to school today because she was up a lot last night with stomach issues.  She never vomited, but she was very nauseated and has had stomach cramps.  She hasn't felt bad all day, just off and one.  We might be going to the doctor tomorrow p.m. because Sunday night I noticed that she has a little bulge above her belly button, I wasn't concerned about it (really) until her stomach started hurting and she said that it hurt to tough.  Maybe it's nothing, but people keep mentioning hernia to me.  Please pray that she feels better soon.  Also tomorrow is the big day....academic advising.  I remember the very first time I was advised (somewhere a
