About Me

Why a simple kind of life? Well, thats what my husband and I are trying to instill in our family. We are Christians and living a simple life is what God wants for us. I say trying because that is what we are doing. We need to keep that in the forefront of our minds as we go through all the crazy yet unforgettable days a family of four goes through. Life is very busy with a smart and inquisitive four yearold, active, curious, funny 2 1/2 year old and a new baby. As teachers, we enjoy our summers off with our children spending time at the beach, boating or just in our backyard relaxing. We know what and Who is important in this life, but we also can admit that we do enjoy things that don’t really matter like reality TV, good food and my weakness, shopping. All in all its all about balance and keeping God first.

Another Summer's Day at the Beach

I can get used to this life.  My kids absolutely love the beach!  It is awesome just to watch them play and enjoy every part of it including the sand!  Ugh.....I am not a fan but Layna loves to be buried and Hunter loves to, well um....throw it at people or at himself...Its quite lovely actually especially when Layna thinks she can do it too.  They love to swim as well.  Hunter loves floating around in his floatie or just sitting where the waves hit his little belly.  Layna loves to show her swimming lessons skills like kicking and blowing bubbles.  One of the best parts is the Italian Ice truck!  Yummy!!!!  After the day at the beach we head home on a nice relaxing car ride where they are both passed out..  This is probably the only time of the day TJ and I can hold a conversation without constant interruptions.  We actually cherish this time as we make plans to do it all over again in a couple of days.
