Great Weekend!

Once again we spent another weekend with family! It was wonderful as always. I cried as we left because I never want to leave when we are down. It is always so relaxing. One of the things I enjoyed most this weekend was spending time with this girl.....





I had no idea when I married Jacob that I was going to have another sister instead of sister-in-law. So Dani...thanks for letting me crawl into bed with you and watch tv on Saturday morning and talk about randomness, thanks for floating with me in the pool, thanks for putting up with playing games with me even though I'm terrible and its 1AM in the morning, and most of all thanks for being you! I am going to miss her like crazy when she goes to Harding this next month! I'm stopping there before the tears come just thinking about it! Love you loads and thanks for being a wonderful sister to me and aunt to ACE!

hmm....

Where should I begin? We have been so busy over the past few weeks I don't even know where to begin! We celebrated Austin's 2nd Birthday over the 4th of July weekend with family. The whole weekend was wonderful. Jacob had a 3 day weekend so we got to spend some extra time in Waurika. I love family time! It's been a while since Dani, David, and Jacob were all home at the same time. We had a blast all hanging out together. They played a lot of Wii and we also played a lot of the Megatouch game (its a game that has a touch screen). We didn't get much swimming in due to lots of rain but we enjoyed being in the house together! Austin as always got plenty of attention. He enjoyed his favorite sleeping spot in Waurika (in the middle of grandmommy and papa frank). He also enjoyed being spoiled rotten by his Aunt Dani and Uncle David. He loves them both so much! Austin's new thing right now is saying the bedtime prayer himself. You can't always understand everything but every once and a while you understand a name and you can always understand the AMEN at the end. Well last night he was for sure praying for his Aunt Dani. It was so plain and so cute!
The other thing we have been up to is we spent about a week in Duncan. My grandmother had a garage sale during the world's largest garage sale and Jacob and I put some stuff in there. So Austin and I went down to price things and help with the sale. We enjoyed spending time with my parents and grandparents! Austin also enjoyed a 2 days with his Grandmommy while we actually had the garage sale going on. (Thanks Val for watching him!) I use to hate garage sales and dreaded the thought of my mom and grandmother having one but this time....we had so much fun together!
Well I really feel like I'm just babbling. I have nothing really important to write about. My life may not be that exciting to many but I think it is pretty great. As I was praying tonight I was thanking God for blessing me so much. I sometimes get so down and frustrated with things then I realize how great I really do have it and how God has done so much for me and my family! I hope that you are able to see all the blessings He has done for you! Think about it......and have you thanked God lately?
