HOUSE FOR SALE!!

Our house is officially for sale! The sign was put in the yard yesterday and our house is listed with The Hardie Group!! I thought that we would live and die at our house but we happened to stumble across a program called the Neighborhood Stabalization Progam [see www.thecityofkokomo.org] which enabled the city of Kokomo to fix up foreclosed home and sell them to families at a very reduced rate. On one of our family walks we saw such a house and fell in love...however, we were concerned about its size. Yet, after going through the house we felt that it would be a great opportunity. In addition, we would only move three streets West so we'd still in the same neighborhood! We know that it is a long shot that our house will sell quickly and that this house will still be available [our house will go off the market if the other house sells] but we thought we'd give it a try! So say a quick prayer for God's Will to be done!

Bridges Lake Trip!

Caleb loved being able to go to the Lake with the Bridges Crew. The entire ride up to the Lake he chatted the kids ears off! He felt like one of the 'big kids.' Here is Caleb helping with the sand creation contest!

So fun!

Ethan and Caleb....these Bridges Kids are amazing. It's so neat to see them interact with my boys. We are grateful to be able to watch them grow!

Date Night!!
Lazy Sunday afternoon...Micah didn't like the book selection!

Bathtime!

Slightly ready for Micah to be over his food exploration phase!

Heard a great quote today: "Let your misery become our ministry!"

Bubble Truck and Room Re-Model!

Here's a sneak peak at our spare room remodel...wanted to brighten up the room with some color!!! More to come...
So I feel that I truly get the most out of my tax dollars in Kokomo, IN. I am constantly searched for things in Kokomo that will enhance my little kiddo's minds, encourage their creativity, and expose them to culture and life! The BUBBLE TRUCK was today's adventure-and it was some adventure to say the least.
Micah was sampling the bubbles...yummmy soap flavor!

Bubbles!

This summer Micah is so independent and fun! Last summer he wasn't walking and I had to carry him everywhere. Now, I can put both boys down and watch them GO! And that is literally what they do from sunrise until sunset. Lord, give me energy!

Goodnight'

Summer Happenings

This summer I have noticed an increase in neighborhood kids. Somehow they often conjugate in our backyard. Here is Xavier [Caleb calls him Xav Xav] holding Micah. The picture does not accurately represent how funny it is to see this little guy picking up Micah!

Caleb insists on wearing his glasses upside down...

Coyote Runners has started up again. The boys compete [I use that word loosely] each week for a Popsicle! Here is Micah reminding us all to hydrate before the big race! Thanks Micah!


Ahh Victory!!

Run Caleb Run!!!

Father's Day Weekend

On Friday the boys and I took trip to Carmel, IN to West Park Spray Park! The boys loved it!
Happy Father's Day Papa...to the BEST DAD in the world! [Cheesy but so true!]

Happy Father's Day to the greatest Father-In-Law! :) Thanks for loving our kids like they are your own!

We celebrated Father's Day on Saturday and spent the entire day together at the Monon Center with Travis' extended family. We swam all morning and cooked-out in the afternoon. The boys loved the water park and I foresee many more trips!

Our Pastor, Randy Blankenship spoke today on the importance of Father's in our society. He reported that almost ALL of the problems we face today can be fixed if the family is mended. I'm having trouble connecting the sermon to my blog but when I figure it out, I'll post it!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TRAVIS- YOU AMAZE ME DAILY!! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

A sneak peak...

The boys and I headed to OHIO for 9 days while daddy was away at camp with some of the Bridges Youth. While in town, we went to the Zoo. Here is Caleb sitting like the monkey!
At the park with cousins!

Precious!

My sweet son!

Snuggle time with daddy before his trip!

I'm helping with a weekend retreat starting tomorrow so I'll post more when I return! It was an unbelievable trip to say the least...still sorting through the 400+ pictures!
