Raising Arrows

So this summer has truly kicked our butts! Holy Cow! We can't seem to get healthy. It's a real struggle and I feel like each week we add more to what we had before. Really praying for some healing and relief soon. I'm not sure how much more our little plates can handle before they tip over, more from exhaustion then anything else. But God is good. I keep on reminding myself of that. None of this is surprising to Him and He's in control. I just feel so attacked. Fundraising has gone so slow and I constantly feel behind in everything I do. BUT I can tell you what I'm SLOWLY learning thru these last 6 weeks or so ... I WANT TO BE MORE FOR YOU guys. I want to the all natural mom, who takes vitamins daily, has homegrown everything, buys organic, lets you learn by doing, and using all natural cleaners. I want to heal you by natural ways and not be at the doctors so much. I want to spend more time at the beach and less time in our home. (Ok, that's a want that's al...

So this last week and a half has flown by. So much has happened. It's been a whirlwind of fun, chaos, travel, and family time.  We have loved every minute of it. And as always, we have lots of photos to remember and recap the times. But never enough...

Well we are half packed up and will be completely ready by tonight. We are heading to New Jersey!!! And everyone can not wait to get there. Gonna spend 5 days with Uncle Jesse and Aunt Debbie and the cool cousins. Looks like it'll be nice out there too. Hot and summer like! And y'all are anxious to get there and swim, have slumber parties, see their chickens and ducks, see Uncle Jesse's snake and just be with cousins 24/7. 💕 Wish us luck as we adventure out with a can full of love and excitement!!

Dinners with Grandparents.  Naptime stories with daddy.  Birthday Party for our Princess. Afternoons with cousins.  Summer sun.  Dirty hands. Sunscreen and sand.  New friends. Summer Break has begun!  Grateful for these last few crazy filled weeks. It's been rough. Croup. Pneumonia. Birthdays. Pool time. And lots of hot weather. We managed to finish first grade and we are breaking for a few fabulous weeks of pure summer bliss. With an upcoming vacation to see Uncle Jesse, Aunt Debbie and the awesome cousins in New Jersey, the fourth of july and another birthday. Not sure when we will resume and begin second grade, but we are enjoying our first full day of break.  But before the weeks get away, here's a recap of the last few weeks and all it's beautiful, crazy, germ infested, sweaty fun!  Our little princess ended up with pneumonia over her birthday but was a true trooper!  Our neighbors down the road brought out their ...

Another month come and gone. It was a full one too. Lots done and lots of memories made! Again, I'm better at pictures so I'll do some recapping through photos and then add in what is needed afterwards. :) But first to the HIGHLIGHTS! - Memorial weekend camping was a blast! it was amazing weather and full of spontaneous events and yummy food. - We really took off on fundraising and although we are still currently sitting at 9%, we've had meetings and call backs and have more on the horizon. It's humbling and a true test of faith! God knows and it'll all come together in His time. - We ended the month a bit rough, with sickness rolling in and began June with croup in the house and a nasty coughing virus for you older ones. No fun at all!! I had to miss out on your last soccer game this season Milo! Was super bummed about that. But Norma and Eddie got their rest and are seeming to be doing better now, praying it lasts! - Feeling the summer break itch! With only a ...
