A JOYFUL MOTHER

"He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children." Psalms 113:9








There is no other joy like being a mother to Caiden and Bailee. They are the reason I live!

CAIDEN AND CREATIVITY



TRAVELING HOME: OUR LAST HOTEL



We finally stopped in Arkansas for our final hotel experience. Our family has had lots of time to reflect on our vacation times and we shared some special moments. We love to take life in and experience all that life has to offer. But we also love to take time to talk to each other and find ways to make our family closer. Vacation is about relaxing, not making a long lists of things to do, but taking each moment we have and turning it into a blessing of "just being a family" We didn't make a itinerary, and saying "we have to do this at this time" Vacation is like rolling with the tides of the beach. You wait till the tide comes in and when it does, you act on it, what you in that moment is up to you, and you will see a beautiful outcome with what you had!





















I Love to watch my children sleep, oh yes, Contentment, it's priceless!

FAMILY FUN CENTER

This place right beside our hotel, so we just walked to it! This Fun Center was a lot like Chucky Cheese, but for bigger kids. They had all kinds of things to do. They had miniture golf, go-carts, rock climbing, and video games! They even had big screens to play Wii and Playstation! We played games and ate pizza. We were there 3 hours and still didn't do everything to offered!
