"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Pictures from my phone


This was just a cute little moment between Erika and Jack.  She was teaching him about the pictures Sunday morning :).  So sweet.  I love their innocence.




Misty sleeps in the strangest places and positions... You can see her gigantic pregnant belly- I've so been there, Misty.  Well, sort of...



It's so funny the positions these guys end up in as well.  Midnight is always laying on them.




Our Mutual Hike


This was following Jen's funeral, all the Maynes kids!


And the whole fam damily :)


This is a great one of Dan and his kids with Nate's parents.  What a crazy day that must have been for all of them.

Maybe this is crazy to post, but I'm so happy about my new laundry system that I had to post a picture of my empty hallway :).  No more baskets!  Yay!!!
So here's how we're doing it for now-
I bought 10 large, blue Ikea bags and hung one for each person (there were some leftover- and I combined Jack's and Erika's), on the wall in my laundry room.  It looks strange (hence, no picture :) ), but it's WAY more convenient than the baskets.  Plus they really saved a lot of space!  I got rid of the clothing rack I had in there, (Erika and Kelly think it will make a perfect rack for the dress up clothes downstairs, but the chances of anything actually being hung back up on in it are pretty slim) but we still have the one in the doorway- which I am hoping to remove and just put up a tension rod (if that would actually hold enough stuff to be worth it) across the laundry room, over the washer and dryer.  I think that would work perfectly.  So I still hang up everyone's shirts, and put those away each day, but the rest of the clothes (including socks- did away with the sock baskets a while ago) I am sorting into everyone's bags to be folded when they get full :).  It's going to work!!  I just know it!! :).  Can you sense my optimism :).  I'm mostly just happy that the clothes are contained in laundry.  It was a huge change to go from having a kitchen sized laundry room to a large closet size, but it was well worth the trade :). 


Not sure why I'm posting this one either, but whatever- we think he might be allergic to mosquito bites... not good considering we live in mosquito central.  Hopefully it was just a glich.

What a cool experience.


Charity took this as we were walking back to our car


Luke drew this on the driveway- pretty cool!


Jack LOVES my Kindle.  He is right there if anyone is using it.  Erika says, "Dad, this is painful." as he's totally leaning on her to play with it over her :).  Funny kids.
