Hard to keep up

It's been hard to keep up with the blog here lately, but I am hoping to take some time next week to update, I should have time to make some posts while sitting on the beach...toes in the sand...diet mt. Dew in hand. It's okay....take a moment...compose yourself. I know you are jealous. Rayden and I are headed to west palm beach on Sunday to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. I am so very excited. I am nervous about leaving the kids ( we have never been on vacation without them) and I am TERRIFIED of flying ( so please pray for me...and Rayden!).

I hope to get all caught up with my posting because there is so much to tell you about...
- moms trip to the er and then the hospital in Joplin and then to a new nursing home
- my aunts death and my decision to not tell my mom
- kaleb's 7th birthday and the superhero party
- the end of the school year
- my new crafting adventure
- a difficult, yet fabulous mothers day (I am typing this post on my mothers day gift!!!)
- our homeschool curriculum purchase
- discovery toys!
- the church's big vote

So stay tuned.....you can get all informed about our lives and maybe catch some pictures of the sand and surf. Ahh....I can almost hear the waves now....if only I could skip the airport...gulp!
