A Glimpse Into The Life Of A Family Of Four

WHoosh!!!! She'll be a big one...
Happy boy on a lake
Not so happy boy on a lake. He asked for it but did not like it.
Just hangin' out


We got Daddy back for four wonderful days. It was a busy weekend but we did have a great time. My back is still recovering from the camping trip. Note to self...bring more thermorests when pregnant, oh and maybe a pillow or 5.
We traveled south...so south that my cell phone got a message that said "international data rates apply." Now, we were still in America so part of me is a little ticked that the cell phone company can do that but hey...standard practice for those guys-I guess. It was a very nice little lake with plenty of camping sites. I will admit that the signs saying "you may encounter illegal immigration" and "no shooting" (not no guns but literally "no shooting") didn't sit well at first but as soon as all the fun started those signs were the furthest thing from my mind. For the record, we encountered no illegal immigration and shot ZERO guns! We met up with some friends and had a blast. Four little boys, two big boys, and two silly mommies and it was a recipe for fun. The lake's overall water level rose about 4" because the kids tossed SO many rocks in the lake. Not too much swimming but a great time for all.
After camping...recovery for me and then the pool. We were also treated to a big surprise...THE HEPP FAMILY. Sorry no photos. We did have a GREAT time catching up with Matt and meeting his beautiful wife Kara. So much fun, and even better that we will see them again in a few weeks.

Well that is all for now. I will have more this week. We are in the final days of Sean being gone and couldnt be more excited to have him home. The boys (and me) are missing him tons. We are so proud of him and all the hard work he has done. He serves this country with everything he has and we stand by him and all our service members. What Sean doesnt give to us he gives to this great country and most of all, it is all for God. We are so thankful for people like him. Finally, a toast to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for this country.
Remember always-Memorial Day.
