Green Family Tropical Vacay

The girls, Josh & myself have been to the beautiful beaches of California together before. But this is actually our first ever, planned-ahead-trip-to-Florida together! In fact, Josh & I have never been to Florida together ever! We arrived yesterday and the weather and beach could NOT have been any more beautiful!! This evening we went to a local shop and bought crab nets and flashlights to go out hunting! Here are photos from yesterday and today too :) thank you, God for this special time together!!

Second grade- CHECK!

End of Second Grade!! Kinsley is such a smart girl. She read (& tested!) 30 Recommended Reading books over the course of 2nd grade which meant she receives a GOLD MEDAL at awards day!! It was so sweet getting to watch her walk across the stage with her hard earned medal around her neck! I'm so thankful I was able to watch her and not have to just hear about it :) God is good! Kinsley & Mia are ready for the 3rd Grade! 

Abrielles Pre School Graduation

Abrielle finished up pre school at the Little Red School house last week! It's the same school Kinsley graduated from, as well as JOSH!! Long ago;) We are really going to miss the sweet teachers, Mrs Mallorie and Mrs Tonnie but I can totally tell that Abrielle is ready for her big Kindergarten adventure!!! 

here are the pictures from the special graduation ceremony and miscellaneous, too!

A Prayer: Ephesians 3:14-21

Can't get enough of this prayer lately!

14 When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, 15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. 16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. 20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. 21 Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT)

Flowers

Just have to post the pictures of the most beautiful flowers josh has ever given me! He sent them to my work after he had his appendix removed:) I took pictures of them for days, they would just bloom prettier each day! Thankful!!!!

Autumn Update

New Knitter

So yesterday I came to the realization that I want to be crafty. I just decided I wanted to learn how to knit. So I went to Michaels, not having a clue what I was picking out.. Or doing. Grabbed some yarn, this loom knit thing to make scarves, and some knitting needles! Came home and watched a YouTube video on loom knitting a scarf, and began my journey!!

Random things.. Still not sure what everything is.. The blue thing is what I used to make the scarf tho! It's so simple!!! Yay! 

Josh took this of me beginning my newfound hobby..

I could hardly wait to come home from work so I could work on it!! That's a good sign, I'd say :) Olive says she's over it....

And... Wa- la! An infinity scarf for yours truly. I chose white so I could wear it to work. I'm already working on the girls a colorful little scarf! Super excited to expand my skills to the actual knitting needle later.

Til next time!

Driving School: level 2 Grad

Driving school is no laughing matter BUT I just wanted to document this because no matter what, my kiddos support me;)

Came home to this sign that the girls, Mia and aunt Whitney so graciously made me! I spent 2 nights a total of 8 hours in driving school this week. Praise The Lord that it's over & I don't owe any more money!!
