Spelling words

Emma's 2nd week of spelling for school year 2013-2014. #7 is so simply but also so true, Emma has this deep faith, and truly feels safe in all she does because she knows God is with her.

2013 check ups

On July 26, Peyton's birthday the kids had their yearly check ups. Peyton was so happy to find that she didn't need any shots, Hayden on the other hand needed 4 and also had to get his finger pricked. Lets just say we could have made a horror show scene from this doctor visit.
