Ghostball 2016

 We had a blast at our favorite fundraiser Ghostball. Elevations made it a huge event this year which is great because it raises money to pay for therapy for children with disabilities, it helps covers everything insurance won't cover. Fun for a good cause.

We had an amazing vacation. Still day dreaming about it. We sat by the pool all day, went and saw our favorite football teams in the evening. No kids, lots of sleep, sun, reading, swimming, football, and drinking. Perfect right? Heaven. It was in the 90's everyday so we didn't do as much hiking and walking as we thought, but I'm very satisfied with the amount sun and pool time we got.

Time to go, sad.....

But I did miss the kids and my liver needs a break.

Once a year I sweet talk Brad into a photo op. 

Pictures by Abi Samuelson

These pictures aren't perfect, they aren't professional, some are kind of blurry, but I'm ok with that. The best pictures are ones that show how my heart feels. In real life we aren't perfect so these pictures portray us perfectly. Doing our best with what we got. Keeping love in our hearts and happy in our souls.

Jurassic Quest

Our lucky kids got to go to Jurassic Quest this weekend. It was kind of redic expense so we were sure to try to get our moneys worth. They got to make a fossil, dig for fossils, carve out their own clay block full of fossils, do crafts, and get their face painted. We jumped in the bouncy houses, did the slides, obstacle course, bungee pull, rode a dinosaur, and looked at all the life size moving dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs

Leave it to our kids to pick the goriest face paint. 

    

Bungee pull

Cate liked the baby dinosaurs. 

Ben riding a dinosaur, it actually moved, simulating walking.
