This year during our church’s VBS the kids raised money for our mission trip to Zimbabwe to help us put on a VBS there. The goal was $1000. God is amazing though and able to do more than we ever ask for. The kids raised over $2000 in just 5 days! We were floored. Since they were able to meet the goal several people got pies in the face - including Jason. Below is a clip of the pie fun. Jason is seriously becoming a pie in the face professional. This is his 2nd year. Let me know and I’d be happy to hire him out for less than $2000 Again we just praise God for his provision and for the kids.

This past weekend I went to my little sister’s bachelorette party. It was luau themed and super fun. Her friend Amy Noy did such a  great job planning the shower. I am so excited for Aimie and Chris. T-minus 6 days until the wedding.

All the super hot bridemsaids and the bride Love you girls!

We had a great time celebrating Father’s Day. We went out to eat as a family and then went Putt Putting. It was a lot of fun - but like 100 degrees. Seriously, in between the holes we were all searching for shade. Despite the hot weather we had lots of fun together as a family. Happy Father’s Day Daddy!  I am blessed to have you for my dad and love you very much!

In celebration of our upcoming 4th anniversary Jason planned a quick get away to Louisville. We stayed at this super cute Bed and Breakfast in the Historic District called the DuPont House. It was a gigantic 3 story mansion built in the 1800’s. We stayed in a beautiful suite with a huge bathroom - complete with a spa tub. We had dinner at a fancy restaurant called Rivue along the river. It was on the 25th floor and had a crazy view. We watched the sunset while we ate steak and a complimentary dessert. The next day we went to the Louisville Slugger Museum and had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe. We had a great time getting away and just hanging out and relaxing.

Why didn’t we do this before? I love little getaways. Thanks babe for planning the best couple days. Love you so much!

Last Saturday, along with my mother-in-law Linda, we had a bridal shower for my sista Aimie. In about a month she will marry the love of her life Chris. We had a great time visiting, eating yummy treats and watching Aimie open a ton of presents. I am so excited for the two of them and glad that I could show my sister how much I love her. Good luck guys. I wish you all the best. Also, thanks to Linda for your great party planning skills. And thanks to everyone for coming out and showing your love to Aimie. Couldn’t have done it without you!

My beautiful sister. Love you!

Aimie & I went down to Brown County this week hunting for a glass sculpture and to visit with our Grandma. We had a great time searching the stores for the perfect piece as well as hanging out with each other. We had a lovely lunch and enjoyed catching up. I love you both a ton and had a great day!!

Just wanted to give a special happy Mother’s Day shout out to my momma and mother in law (who is my momma too)! We are so thankful to have you in our lives. You have loved, nurtured and cared for us more than we could know or ever thank you for. We love you guys!

The past weekend I decided to replant some of the plants I took home from my Grandpa’s funeral. I was really pleased how they turned out. The smaller ceramic pot is from Jason’s co-worker Scott Cooper. He makes his own pottery and has his own studio called St. Earth Pottery. Check out more at http://www.negentropic.com/clay/index.htm

The 2nd one we got from Lowes. I like both a lot. Now the hard part will be keeping them alive. Wish me luck.
