Girls Day!

Caelin and I had a girls day this morning. I had this grand idea to take her to a tea room to practice our manners. We put our dresses/skirts on and off we went. Everything went great until she selected her dessert and when it arrived she went in face first. Made me think, maybe that is what life is all about...diving into the "sweet" moments! Then, she decided to do my hair when we got home, complete with adding headphones to "style" me. 😂Blessed to have moments like these!

Father's Day and 12th Anniversary!

Father's Day will always be a hard day for the rest of my life. This is the 2nd year that I do not have my Daddy. To say he was the best Daddy that God could have created for my sister and I is an understatement. He was never too busy for tea parties, cleaning hamster cages, shooting coke cans with BB guns, or nature hikes behind our house. He ran tirelessly to work, attend athletic events for us, vacations as families and so much more. Most of all, he taught me how I should be treated and what to look for in a man. The qualities I learned from him brought me to Charles. I could never have asked for a better Husband, Father, and Best Friend. To make today even more special, it was 12 years ago today that my Daddy walked me down the aisle and gave me to Charles. I wish there was a word to describe how perfect Charles is, but a word like that will never exist. He is the rock of our family and loved SO MUCH! I was also blessed yet again with an amazing Father-in-love in Fred Hall. Fred has been there every time we needed him and supported us like a true hero of a Father. So, today I not only celebrate all the Dad's out there, whether they are on Earth or in Heaven...but I celebrate 12 years of marriage to the love of my life! Oh Happy Day indeed!

10K Mud Run

Today Charles and I did our first 10K Mud Run together!  We wanted more of a challenge from the 5K races, so off we went.  We finished in about 2 hours and had a ton of fun.  It was not as hard as we expected and we crossed the finish line holding hands. 10K run, check!

Plexus Convention 2016

Plexus has become more to us than just a name of products.  I originally joined this journey for Dad based on some research I read about the diabetes population.  It quickly grew to our entire family and Charles and I have both been ambassadors for a while now.  Plexus has changed our health for the better and now both Cade and Caelin take products as well for probiotics and multivitamins.  Cade loves to remind me, "I need my probiotic".  Ha!  Since Charles was working this year and was also on Daddy duty with kids, Mendy and I went to Vegas for convention.  It was truly a blast and we had a great time getting spoiled by the company.  Convention opened with Steven Tyler singing "Dream On", and ended the last night with a private concert by Little Big Town.  In between, we had 2- three hour sessions daily, dessert party, team dinners, and lots of walking!  We even broke our record one night with over 20,000 steps when we walked up and down the strip.  The Monte Carlo hotel was a nice choice for us with some quaint little restuarants.  We were also blessed that Charles' cousin Mary, and her sister came as well.  So, it was a sister week I guess.  Thanks to Charles holding down the fort and Nana for spoiling the kids while we were away.  We learned so much and it was a perfect week!

Cave Quest VBS

Since Caelin was not old enough to do VBS at CFBC where we are church members, we signed her and Cade up for Cave Quest VBS at John Wesley where she attends Preschool.  They always do such an amazing job with the kids and everything is hands on and interactive.  Both kids enjoyed going to the week long event.  Caelin's favorite was the singing and dancing (we have listened to the CD of songs SEVERAL times), and Cade's was the Science experiments each day.  I am so blessed that they have opportunities to learn about Jesus!
