Lucky Girl

I am a lucky girl getting to go on a Starbucks date with this handsome guy!

Matching Meals

Haylie and Mommy's favorite place - Smashburger - with matching mushroom burgers and sweet potato fries. Haylie always loves the same food as Mommy!

Soccer Season - The End

Soccer season came to an end tonight and as much as I love watching our little ones run around and even more so watching Daddy coach, I think we might be officially done with soccer. At least I'm hoping ;) I'm sure Micah would love to see the kids continue but neither of our kids particularly love to run. neither are really aggressive enough to take the ball away from someone else and both would much rather have snack and chat with their friends. James would quite possibly do the whole thing again just for the trophy though!!! Oh the thrill of the trophy! :)

Casas Por Cristo

Daddy is in Mexico right now on a trip with our Bible Study guys and Lakeside Church building Casas por Cristo. Although we miss him when he's gone, we are so proud of him and his heart to serve. I can't get enough of this photo of Micah hammering with this little guy - probably one of my favorite photos of him ever! 

Grandparents

I am continually so thankful for Grandma and Grandpa and their involvement in our life and our kids' lives!!! Daddy is away for a few days so Grandma and Grandpa stopped by with dinner just to hang out and play with the kids so Mommy could have a little break! The kids love seeing Grandma and Grandpa, playing games with them and just being silly. James made Grandpa a tie to wear to work and Haylie got out her giant Cinderella to play Sorry with everyone...

So Romantic

I am so lucky to have such a romantic husband. We celebrated our 13 year wedding anniversary this year at our Alma Mater where we met 15 years ago. We got Sac State shirts and went to a football game. We visited the the classroom where we first met and walked around the campus reminiscing. Then we went and walked around the church where we got married. What a great day spent thinking about the past 15 years of knowing each other and the past 13 years of being married. So thankful for a thoughtful husband who planned all of this on his own! 

Dinner at Firehouse where we had our rehearsal dinner. What great memories. I just love this man!!!

Our Bible Study

Our Bible Study is such great group of people. Each of the people in our group has their own way of giving back to others and it is really incredible to me to have a group of people who have studied the Word together for so long who are all so committed to making a difference in the world for Jesus. For this study we have been reading The Hole in Our Gospel and we decided to culminate the study with a service project. We chose to do a food drive for The Orangevale Food Bank since one of our Bible Study members, Brad, commits so much time there. It is his ministry but we feel blessed to have been able to support and be a part of it together. We walked around our neighborhood in Folsom and collected bags of food to go to families in the Orangevale area. The kids were great helpers and we were happy to be able to collect a truck full of food bags that night.
