Another fun day swimming with friends

We had some friends( Kiara, Jaylyn and Matthew) over and since it was so hot we decided it was a great idea to hop in the pool.

AWANA 09

These are the girls that I helped teach for this years AWANA. This is the first year I helped with AWANA's and I loved it. I grew close to one of the girls in paticular, Taylor (the one with the funny glasses). She is a sweet, outgoing and positive girl. She really was a joy to be around as were all the girls.

First Day of Swimming 2009

Picnic with Friends

We went to church with Jill and her daughter Kiara this weekend and went to a park right next to her church for a picnic. It was pretty hot so we only stayed about an hour but the kids had a lot of fun.

Emily was afraid to crawl over the monkey bars but when no one was looking she attempted to try it... and succeeded!!!

Making my own blog backgrounds

I am back into my creative mode and have been able to make my own backgrounds and headers and not use someone elses templates. So this is my first creation. I call it muted spring.
