Another week flown by!

Excited about the tent!
Getting ready to race (erin chickened out, though) Amber, Lyndsay, me and Brooke
Erin and Isaac sliding and loving every minute of it - this was their favorite!

Lots of activities this week! We've been busy busy busy as usual! We worked a bunch - on overtime again, 9 hours a day so we get home a bit later.k My dad came over one night this week and we visited for awhile. Thursday night we had haircuts for some, I went to Walmart after dropping them off, then went back and Erin had her bangs cut. Kim said she had to to make her be quiet! Then, Friday night we packed it up and went to Howell with all of the kids and camped out and attended the music extravaganza Saturday night, then camp meeting service Sunday morning. In between services, we went to the kids carnival, swam at the beach, and kayaked on the lake a bit and just plain relaxed. Jeremy and I even got to lay down and nap Saturday afternoon while Amber and Brooke were in charge of entertaining the others! Curt slept with Grandpa Steve in a tent outside the camper Friday night. Steve left Saturday at around noon, so I was shocked when Curt and Isaac asked to sleep in the tent that night by themselves! They did it! Everyone was exhausted that night! Erin fell asleep on Jeremy's lap by the campfire Saturday night and not a peep out of her the whole night! Much different than Friday night where she was waking up off and on all night (that's why I needed a nap Saturday afternoon!). Lyndsay is loving the backpack and stroller - all giving her a different view of the world! She is also creeping now! Yesterday she almost pushed herself up into a sitting position from her hands and knees! I don't want her to grow up that fast! She talks a lot now and it sounds as if she is telling us how much she adores us as well! Our little weekend vacation with all of the kids was a lot of fun! We had heard it was supposed to rain and I prayed and asked God to hold off on the rain, but we agreed to go anyway and if it rained we would watch a movie or something. But, God answered prayer and the weather was beautiful! We came home Sunday afternoon so Amber and I could sing at church last night. Then, we spent the night in Millington at the property. Jeremy and I had today off (which was kind of a bummer cuz my sister started her new job at Orion Assembly today and we weren't there!) and had eye doctor appointments as well as Brooke. Brooke and I needed new glasses and ordered those. I ordered some different ones that the girls really liked, We'll see! Jeremy just left and took Erin, (she wouldn't let him leave without her), Isaac and Curt fishing. He and Isaac went fishing last night and caught all kinds of bluegill, and a large mouth bass! The bass was good sized and Isaac thought it was going to break his small pole! He had a great time! I'm waiting for the girls to come home from bus calling for our church's VBS this week and am off to Millington again. I'm supposed to be folding clothes and getting caught up, but wanted to update here first! Here are some more pictures - enjoy and have a great week!
