Teaser photos from the wedding

Taylor practicing dropping her petals on the floor (She was the flower girl in Jess' college roommates wedding)
She did such a great job walking down the aisle, she didnt drop any petals but she did walk all by herself clear to the front

Things I want my daughters to know...

DONT SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST
Let your joy in life be unrestrained. Dont put off fun. Dont put yourself last. You'll never be caught up , you'll never get all your work done, so start living joyfully now. Dont save the best for last- last is often, sadly to late. Live each day as though it were the first as well as the last. Use the good stuff daily, nothing is to good for everyday.
Dont look back on happiness or dream of it in the future. You are only sure of today, do not let yourself be cheated out of it.

Things I want my daughters to know.....

DEVELOP THE RYTHM OF BUFFER TIME
Studies confirm that even our hearts stop beating - in order to rest.- during a 24 hour period. Take regular breaks. These can be called "white spaces" time not to be scheduled, but to be used as the spirit moves you, without buffer time you burn out.

Fun day

Taylor came & stayed with us this morning while mommy went & did some work in her classroom
Of course she wanted to play outside so we went out early , over 100 degrees here today.


trying out our rummage bike she can reach the peddles but not to interested in doing the work, LOL
She knows she can get G-daddy to push her. She is growing so much
eating in her little booster chair a friend gave me.
Jess, Taylor & I went to the magic show at the library it was good but as you can see she was more intereted in zipping & unzipping my wallet.


She was excited about something
checking out the ginea pigs
kissing the fish
Then mommy & daddy went to the driving range while Grandma & g-daddy & Taylor went swimming, another cute suit
playing with g-daddy in the pool. I have some pictures of Chuck & Jess swimming at my aunt & uncle pool & this looks about the same, except for I guess Chuck looks a little older..

Its really hot in TX right now.

Taylor (popsicle & vbs)

I know you all have missed this little face, so did we, got home & went over for a swim with T oh yea, Jess & Matt too :)


She was not sharing that popsicle with anyone

I went for the end of VBS tonight , they have singing & puppets. Taylor was dancing in the pew
The cute puppets, a couple we did one of our first Home Bible Studies with (when the girls were little) were the puppeteers (I think that is what they were called). Saw several of my old preschoolers that was fun, I was bummed we were going to be gone on vacation during VBS. CHuck & I always enjoy doing it..
Dacning with her friend Cierra

Trip

We had a good time in MI. Beautiful weather. First stop was South HAven, probably our favorite, the water, beach & little shops were fun.

Fun little light house we walked out a pier to see.
Decided this would be a fun day trip to bring Taylor to the beach... They had a nice playground right on the beach she would love that .
There were lots of nice boats to look at.

Cute candy store with CHucks favorite Taffy..

The guy was just starting ont eh fudge, brought back memories of my childhood seemed like our vacations always had a little shop that made candy on the marble counter tops
