What Fun!

The Maingots are in full summer swing. Hannah had a Lemonade Stand and made $9.50 in just an hour of work.
We have been going swimming almost every week. Last week Hannah and Hattie went to their cousins house to play on their water slide. It was a blast seeing them together. Every time we visit over there I wish that we lived closer. (we live 1 1/2 hours away) I then realize that I just need to enjoy the moment and the now. Not seeing them everyday makes these times more special.
Hannah lost her first tooth! I can't believe it, she is not even 5 yet! We happen to be at her cousins house when she showed us her tooth was hanging by a thread. Daddy pulled it out for her. It was a great moment. She had to call her memaw, and other little friends. (on west coast time zone). Her Aunt Heather gave her a pillow to put the tooth in for the tooth fairy to get it, whcih also had a spot for the tooth fairy to leave a gift. She got $5.00! Boy, days have changed from when I only got .25.
Here is one last picture of the girls at the beach. It is was so much fun watching the girls play in the sand. We went with Hannah's friend, Mia, and her mom ans sisters. Mia's mom is a pro at it. She knew what time to go, where to park, and set up. I will definitely tag along with her again.

Until next time, enjoy your family and capture those moments in pictures.

New Addition to our Family




We are so excited to introduce Drake Russell to everyone. Gary's sister gave birth to him June 30th. He is so cute! I can honestly say after holding him I want another baby bad! I pray that God will either take that desire from me or give Gary the desire for another child.


We had to best 4th of July! My best friend Jorgie had my family, another close friend's family and three of her sister's family over to swim at her in-law's pool. I couldn't believe how well Hattie and Hannah wer doing in the water after only 3 swim lessons! We swam for about 7 hours! We then headed off to watch the fireworks. It was a blast.


I went on my 2nd interview with the Charter School. I can honestly say I have no idea how I did. I prayed before I went in asking God to give me the words to say. I was honest and gave the best answers I could. The rest is up to God to give me favor or close the door.


I can't wait to get my camera back. Best Buy has it to fix it. This is the 2nd time mind you. I have made two cute acrylic albums I want to take pictures of . I hope to get those posted soon!




Have a blessed week!
