Branson Trip - The Swimming

Our hotel had a heated pool so we were able to swim everyday. I am not big on swimming, but the water was so warm, I swam and played with the kiddos for several hours. I even beat Corbyn a few times in a race across the pool!! ;-)

The children made friends with Zach and Taber one day while we were swimming. It is always amazing to me how easily children bond!! The moment they entered the pool, they introduced themselves and played wonderfully with their new friends. Even, Azaryah enjoyed Taber and was sad when he had to say, "Good-bye".

Although, new friends are fun, the kiddos' best play buddy is their Daddy...Glen always has a blast goofing off and swimming with them...Just look at those smiles.

You have to keep an eye out for Corbyn and Daddy...They are pretty rowdy when they are together!! heehee

Branson Trip - The Shopping

Monday, Azaryah came down with Strep so he was not able to swim with Daddy and the older children. He and I snuck away for some shopping, lunch and an ice cream. On our shopping trip, Azaryah picked out some Batman Crocs and he was VERY happy!!

Branson Trip - The Anderson Family

God blessed us with time with some precious friends - Shawn and Jennifer Anderson. They live here in town, but we do not get to visit with them much. They have a home there in Branson so we connected on Tuesday night for some food and fun.

Jennifer and Michelle

Shawn and Glen

Keziah, Jacquilyn, Eden, Morgan, Corbyn, and Azaryah...The kiddos got to sit at their own table and they all did very well. Azaryah had to have a little "talk" about mid-way through but he really did well with the "big kids" ;-)

The Corprews...

God has blessed us in many ways. One of the most precious gifts HE continues to give is the gift of friendship. Kevin and Cahrrie are two of our dearest friends and we love them very much.

Tonight, Kevin and Cahrrie came down for dinner and some family fun. The kiddos played wonderfully and had a blast. Aren't the adorable?!?! Azaryah, Kailey, Eden, Corbyn, Cassadie, and Keziah

Kevin and Glen always have a good time cutting up...Two very handsome men ;-)

I have loved Cahrrie since the first time we meet. Her family and our family moved were transferred here at the same time 8 years ago. The Lord has continued to allow us to be very close over the years and across the miles!!

Girl Scout Mother-Daughter Day

Yesterday, the Girl Scouts were invited to a Mother-Daughter Day. We had a wonderful time making scrapebooks out of paper bags and decorating the pages. Our snack consisted of a "Girl Scout Campfire" and we got our pictures taken to add to the scrapebook. We had a blast!!!

Got Teeth?!?!

This morning began with a huge celebration...Keziah lost both her bottom teeth in a matter of minutes. One fell out while brushing her teeth and the other one came out with a tiny tug!!! Now, I am trying to convince my two year old that ALL his teeth need to stay in for at least 4 more years!!!
