Sailing with Carlos




















I super loved this sailing trip with William's friend Carlos. Being in the company of these two men was a highlight of my summer. The thoughts of these two guys and their humor still has me giggling as I look at all these pictures and think of thoughts that filled our surroundings. They danced, watched movies, laughed and joked! Carlos my friend, we loved every minute of this trip and thank you for who you are and what you have accomplished in following your dream...inspiring!



One word to wrap up this experience...
PEACE

Father's Day

Yep 9 kids!




We are all so in love with this guy! When he gets in from traveling he is bombarded with LOVE!

He is looking great on this FATHER'S DAY just having lost 30lbs!!!

Way to be committed to your family, we all think you're the GREATEST! Our days are filled up with an over abundance of the security and love you create that is unique in families these days and we much appreciate YOU! I FEEL such an overwhelming JOY from within.

Will kept saying this is the BEST FATHER'S DAY EVER...good sign!

Birthday Girl


Kelzybaby got a Tres Leches Cake for her Birthday from her adorable hubby and THANKS HIM!
It's great to be a twin and finally get to spend our BIRTHDAY'S together with our sweet husbands in all they do to create pure joy!

Creative kids

SUMMER is a great time to be creative and we SEE a lot of that going on in our home!

Dal can make a sale and that is evident in how much this boy can earn in a day by simply setting his mind to it. I will be driving out of the neighborhood and see him mowing and cleaning up neighbors lawns and feel such gratitude for his positive desire to work hard and earn!!! He paid in full his scout camp funds and continues in saving up for things he wants.

Spencer enjoys helping his friend JASE out with his company. http://www.zoonalongboards.com/
He loves to long board and this has become a sport he engages in quite often in his spare time. It's fun to watch these boys with video footage, etc. Spencer is now working 2 jobs and is learning how to divide his earnings responsibly between tithes, savings, and play.

Give Isaac two minutes to drag many items together and create something of pure joy for hours. Boxes are worth a million to this kid!
Emmie is great at being committed to improve herself through study and reading. She inquired the need to go to COSTCO and get goodies to sell in the neighborhood and in 3 days made $60 with the help of her step sister! Way to go girls and more of this to come I'm sure!!!
Leah has a great interest in DESIGN and magnifies this in every way. She has stated she will be known some day with her designs and I believe if she stays on this path she can accomplish this, no doubt! Here are a few of her sketches right down to the shoes!






Kiddo's you continue to amaze your Mama! I love and adore each of you for who you are and who you choose to be!



We have created a pleasant schedule this summer one in which holds each of us accountable in home responsibilities, study, CREATIVE ADVENTURES, and family FUN!
