WE SURVIVED IKE!

Just to update everyone we are currently without power again after having it for a whole week. Anyway we spent 10 days in the Ft. Worth area (Granbury) during Hurricane Ike and we owe a huge Thank You to our pastor friends Rev. Jacob & Theresa Stump for letting us stay with them during the storm (and many days after!). We had only minor damage to the house and of course everything in the yard was blown away including the fences. Thank you Lord for that which was spared!

The pictures are of the boys riding our friends horse (Penny) out on the farm. Both of the boys enjoyed chasing the chickens...never a dull moment!

Today was Jachin's first day of kindergarten at Shady Crest Elementary. He was very excited to go...probably more than his mommy and daddy were! Greyson starts Pre-K on Monday.

Hey there! Sorry for being so long-winded in not putting something new out here...after all we had to wait for Hurricane Eduardo to pass over, then celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary, and then endure one more birthday for Brian (34!)...oh wait that's me! And let's not forget Jachin had to be registered for school (Kindergarten) for which he is very excited. Greyson will be attending Pre-K and Mandy will be teaching Pre-K (not Greyson's class!)...We are busy every day of the week so we try to keep Monday night set aside for family night...that means do as little as possible and play in the pool with the kids...we love all of you...and here are a few pics taken in the last few days....and look at baby Jaxin he is getting big!

My how time flies! oops! flys!! Anyway the July 4th holiday came quickly and passed and this past week was jammed packed with running to and fro with church activity and getting the boys ready for school. Of course not to mention the boys are always into something: This past Saturday Jachin received an eye injury and got to visit the emergency clinic...this was due to his daddy horse-playing in the pool...and his daddy definitely paid for that one! Anyway Jachin will recover fully with daily eye drops for another week, no damage was done to the "seeing" part of the eye...thank goodness. With that being said Greyson decided today...yes today...that he could not be outdone by his older brother, so with less than gymnastic skill he flipped off the top of the couch and smashed down face first into the floor, ultimately planting his teeth all the way through his bottom lip down to his chin....so back to the emergency clinic I sped today to meet him there...bloody clothes and all. He too will make a full recovery and thankfully no stitches were required....now you are up to speed...and believe me it won't slow down from here! More later...

Happy Independence Day!

Just wanted to wish everybody a Happy July 4th! Enjoy the holiday with family and friends! Oh...and Greyson's eye patch is to cover up a bruised eye from a running accident....ouch!
