Never To Old For Face Paint!

Kendall is 17!!

It is so hard for me to believe that Kendall is 17! She has always been a precious child and is still this way as a teen. I feel very blessed that I was chosen to be her Mom.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENDALL!!

Apprehensive!

This coming week I will be starting back to school. It is my last semester before I graduate. I am mildly apprehensive because instead of taking 4 classes, like I have in the past, I will be taking 5 along with working full time. I am afraid that I will be overwhelmed and stressed to the max. I know that God will help me through this and it will all be over in 16 weeks. I really want to finish up on a good note, so I am promising myself that I will continue to spend time with God, go to the gym, and to stay on top of my school assignments. I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to go to college and finish my degree. I really appreciate the support of my family, friends and co-workers who serve as my cheerleading team. It will be these thoughts that I will hold on to as I make my way to the finish line.

Family and Ormond Beach

We went to Ormand Beach, Florida to visit Aunt Eileen and Brent, family from the Hallberg side. Eileen was married to Marty's brother Ward and Brent is their son. Unfortunately Ward passed away in 2007 from skin cancer. The girls had not seen them in 5 years and I had not seen them in 7, so this visit was long over due! Aunt Eileen is a really fun person and Brent is precious, he reminds me so much of his Dad, we had such a good time!!

Brent skim boarding, his skill is amazing

Be proud of me, I have refrained from posting several inappropriate comments regarding this picture.

July Already!

It's hard to believe that summer is half way over. June just flew by! The first couple of weeks of June the girls enjoyed sleeping in, swimming and hanging out with their friends. Then Kendall and Lacey spent a week of June visiting Lindsay Ann and Eric in Athens. The visit included a Father's Day trip to Dahlonega and kayaking with Eric. On June 30th we celebrated Aidan's 2nd birthday and Todd and Leslie's 8th anniversary. On July 4th we attended a family cookout at Todd and Leslie's. It was great to see some of their extended family.

July is gaining momentum! Lacey is spending 10 days at a camp in Indian Springs, GA with her long time friend Courtney and her family. Kendall is hanging out in Dahlonega with Britta until her Dad comes home on the 11th. For the first time in forever all the kids are gone at the same time. Although I miss the girls, I am enjoying coming home to a clean house and spending a little time on myself.
