Fall Break 2014 Destination: Yosmite National Park

This was our second fall break trip up to Yosemite. From a momma's point of view it takes quite a bit of work to prepare for a camping trip. Once you get there, we have early morning risers in our tent trailer and days without showers....but watching everyone having fun and creating life long memories makes it all worth it! (I think:)) The daily majestic views also make me grateful for making the effort of traveling here. The beauty of the this valley is unbelievable! Remembering our engagement 17 years ago on Half Dome always amazes J and I as well. Bringing our children to such a special place is a joy for us. I know these trips will always be such great highlights for our family.

Hello September..!!?

 The hot and humid weather continues, but soccer season begins in full swing. Adam gets to play for the first time and our family has 3 children in sports activities now! Yikes. Saturdays are pretty packed, but we are encouraging each other to enjoy the craziness of it all. Its so fun to watch their excitement for the sport each child has chosen to play. O stopped playing soccer a couple years ago and now is focusing on a travel team basketball as well as flag football beginning in October. Life is full but taking one day at a time and thanking the Lord for peace and joy in the moments we have with our kiddos. Even the challenging ones! Heading to the coast brightens all of our days in the midst of busyness so we try to do that when we can.
