Finally! Yay! It has taken me forever trying to figure out how to sign in to this blog. I don't know why but I have been having trouble with Google accounts. Anybody else not get it either? So I finally had a few minutes to figure out my old email address and passwords.
     Ahhhh, it's summer and we're still so busy! Although my working schedule has slowed a little bit as of the beginning of May. I am only working at the salon every other week. Still at the church every Monday & cleaning some houses here and there. Kids just started up on new soccer teams with the Flint Olympian program. Games start this week & it's been so hot out. Not to the 90's yet, but close.
     Michaela turned 11 last month and Grant turned 10 this month. They both had some friends over for a party this past weekend. It was fun! They are both such good kids with great friends too. I love how they always want to have friends over here. They do like to go as often as they get the chance but they also are constantly asking to have friends over here.
     Brooklyn can not wait to turn 7 in the fall. She is as busy as ever! If you know Brooklyn you know that she keeps us busy and on our toes. So much fun! She still has 2 very wiggly teeth and refuses to eat her favorite corn on the cob. We are anxious to see what she looks like with 2 front teeth :) as we haven't had that opportunity for 3 years now. Should be soon.
     When we aren't working or at soccer you can usually find the kids playing basketball in the driveway or learning new tricks to do on their Rip sticks. Their new favorite thing to do is to map out an obstacle course with chalk in the driveway and time each other on how fast they can get through it.
     Ben was enjoying his time off from teaching for only a few weeks then GM called him and offered him a summer job. We were thrilled at the opportunity. So he started last Monday. He's really liking it. No stress whatsoever. It is nice for him to go back and see his coworkers again. He was thrilled to get such a warm welcome back!
     Our work at the church is also keeping us busy. The youth group has been showing signs of great growth these past few months. We have been encouraged! If you want to follow us on facebook we are NFBC - TEENS. We are looking forward to taking all the 3rd-12th graders to camp very soon for a whole week up north. It is always such a great time for them to get away and have a ton of fun and to experience great godly speakers to challenge them along in their faith. They love it!
     Ben and I will be celebrating our 12th wedding anniversary on July 14th. Time sure does fly when you're having fun!
     As always we have so much to be thankful for. God continues to keep us protected!
