I went to Costco today, good times :)

Now I'm just sitting here with my dogs, good dogs :)

I'm going to church Saturday night, good Saturday night church :)

Oh this is cute...the past couple of days Owen has been getting out of bed in the morning on his own and after saying good morning to me yesterday he went downstairs and fed our dogs. He's a 3yr old who just this summer weighed in at 30lbs and one of our dogs weighs 140lbs so he yells "wash kout", translation - watch out - when Cooper comes running for breakfast, it's fun watching him grow up.

Everyone is back in school now and I just wanted to take a minute and say thanks God for the summer! The summer schedule is such a different kind of busy then the school year and I don't even have kids in school yet! I got to spend more time with my two older sisters this summer, it was a lot of fun getting to know them a little bit more and what's going on in their lives right now. They both have a heart for God. That's the only picture I have of them with me, it's a couple years old now.

God seems to be doing a HUGE work in me. Over the past few weeks He's taken a girl who when she got married couldn't stand kids and never wanted them to being excited about becoming a foster mom. You heard right, Kevin and I are on our way to becoming foster parents. We've taken classes, about 12 hours worth, our application is in and we wait now to be approved, after the police clearance and fingerprinting of course :)

Here are some more summer pics...

Kayacking with dad on vacation

Dad cought a big fish and in the bottom pic Owen is pretending to take a big bite of it

Turns out that Owen is pretty sensitive to mosquito bites and he was bit at the corner of his eye. The next morning his eye was swollen shut and he had a bite on the end of his nose so that was red and swollen too, poor kid!

At the beginning of the summer we had a pool with a slide made of scraps :) good times!

Who says you need a sidewalk when using sidewalk chalk? Thank goodness it vacuums up easily :)

Is he cute or what?!
