Disney World

Eric and I have been promising Grant and Madison that we would take them to Disney World sometime within the year.  So we planned in January to go in June.  It's quite the process to get ready for a Disney Adventure.  We didn't want to half way do it.  I researched and talked to many friends that go yearly and know all the ins and outs of Disney.  So as school was letting out for the summer we were all getting really excited.  We brought a 5th Wheel Camper/Toy Hauler to travel in and stay in the campground at Disney.

I love the camper and loved being able to come back and sleep in my bed and be in my own space.  It's great and we are a little camping family!  We had an awesome time at Disney and I have lots of pictures to share.  We stayed at Disney for 5 days. We decided since Magic Kingdom is the biggest park we were going to do it the first and last days we stay.  That away if we forgot to do something the first day we could do it the last day.  It was a great plan and we got to do everything we wanted.

January - May 2015

It has been awhile since I have posted.  Grant and Madison have finished the 2014-2015 school year at CA.  Grant completed 7th grade and Madison completed 4th Grade.  It was a great year! Here is an overview of things that have happened this year.


We celebrated Eric's 45th birthday in January!


Grant and Madison compete in L2L (Lads to Leaders) each year with our church.  Grant's puppet team placed 1st place this year!  They did an awesome job.  Grant also was a finalist in song leading!  I was so proud of Grant and all his hard work he put in for the Lord!

 Madison dances and loves it!  She had her recital and did a 
wonderful job!  Here are some pictures with her all dressed up!



We celebrated Grant's 12th birthday in May!
Can't believe he will be an 8th grader next year!


This was the best thing that happened all year!
Grant became a Christian!  This is what I have been
praying for a really long time.  Mr. Jerry has been 
such a positive influence and role model for Grant.
