Oakleaf Church

I have been going to Oakleaf Church for a couple of Sundays now and I have to say I LOVE it. It's nothing like the church that I went to when I was younger and that's what I love about it. Last Sunday David and the girls went with me. At first Ally didn't want to go into the City kids by herself, but when I picked her up she said that she loved it and wants to go back next weekend. I was so happy that she liked it so much! David thought the music was a little loud and wasn't used to that, but he did enjoy the sermon. He will be going back with me also. This makes me so happy. I'm so happy that we've found a church that we like! Ahhh...I feel so good about this and so thankful that Brad & Amanda introduced me to Oakleaf Church! I'm looking forward to Sundays service! :) Things seem to be looking up! David may have an interview, fingers crossed all goes well and this is where he is supposed to go next! It would be a great change for our family! Again another thing to be greatful for!!

First Day of School

Yesterday was the first day of school for Tyler & Ally. They both did great eventho getting up early is not their cup of tea! No problems with either of them, they are both so easy going! Poor Ella kept calling for them through out the day. David worked from home so he could help the first day. Today Ally has decided that she wants to ride the bus home. I'm not too crazy about it because the bus doesn't come down our street so they will drop her off at the corner. I told her that Ella & I would meet her there this afternoon. So we'll go from there and see if she likes it, if not I'll pick her up in the afternoons. Tyler said he wanted to do the same, but then changed his mind this morning, he's like me just can't seem to make up his mind! lol Here is a picture of Ty & Ally and one of Ella working on the computer with her daddy! She loves the computer! :)

He looks so excited doesn't he??? lol

Ally was ready to take on the first day!

Beach Fun

Wow, I can't believe summer is almost over for us! This is our last week off before school starts. We ended our summer with a week at the beach. We had so much fun. We discovered that Tyler really isn't a beach bum, Ella doesn't like the sand, but put her in the water and she could float for hours. And that Ally is such a people person and made some new friends! We spent the week in a condo with aunt Pat and had a really good time. We were lazy, but it was so nice to be lazy. Now we're home and getting ready for school to start next Monday. We did our supply shopping yesterday and wow was that expensive!! I couldn't imagine shopping for more than 2 kids in school we spent $150 just for our 2 and that didn't include shoes or clothes! Ally will be in 3rd this year and Ty will be in 7th. I can't believe how fast they are growing. They really are awesome kids and I am so happy to have them! Here are some pictures from our beach trip!
