Happy Birthday Josiah 8 years old today!

StayCation time!

So it's been since the wedding, that was 12 years ago! Ed's brother's family and sister's family (minus Danelle : -( all came to hang out for a week this summer. We even got to spend time with little Sarah Lynn. Pat, Kelly, and Joshua were blessed to have her in their family for a few months before she went to live with her birth grandma. It was a joy to have gotten to know her. She will be missed and will always be in our hearts! It was so great for Ed to get to spend time with his siblings. And in addition, we got to be a part of Violet getting proposed to by long time boyfriend, now fiance, James. Welcome to the family James!

July 4th Celebration

We spent July 4th with Uncle Mark and Aunt Donna and cousin Jonathan. (That's my brother, Mark). They live on top of a mountain in East TN. There house is their dream home and it is beautiful. Ana Mei calls it a castle. We had a good time relaxing in the hot tub, watching fire works, riding rides at the park, the petting zoo, and just hanging out with family.
