Backpacking Trip

Ty is the 11 year old scout leader

...lucky 11 year olds!  He is so good at his calling and loves it!...

They went on an overnight backpacking trip

Looks like fun, doesn't it?!

I told him he needs to take us next :)

"...the greatest fun spot you'll ever know!..."

That's right!  We made it to Cherry Hill this year

with my Dad and some of the Krom Clan!

It was a blast as  usual!

It was a bummer that Tyler couldn't make it because of work,

but we had fun for him :)

We worked with my Dad in the morning,

and then headed to CHERRY HILL!

The small picture below is Alexa's "not happy" look

...but then she quickly made up for it :)

Chelsie, Kevin, Dad K, Amber, Jade

Chloe, Alexa, Krist, Noah, Karli

We went on a perfect day, not a big crowd!

Hot weather, relaxing day!

Is Twenty-Seven Old?

Twenty-seven sounds pretty old to me...

no, it's not thirty or forty...but I'm getting up there :)

But, I am totally okay with turning twenty-seven

for a couple of reasons!

One-Tyler is always four years older...so at least I'm not thirty-one, right?! :)

Two-I feel GREAT.  Better than I probably ever have!

This picture below pretty much sums it up...

I am loving life. 

Love my husband.

Love my kids.

Excited to grow and learn this upcoming year.

Happy.

Tyler and the girls made my day so great!

First time with a sign,

and birthday notes scattered throughout the house!

Wow, I feel like a million bucks :)

I also got birthday wishes from family and friends

via phone calls, visits, and facebook!

Thank you!

We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner,

and then just hung out in the evening in our backyard!

I had a great birthday!

Karli is TWO

Our cute little Karli turned TWO on Father's Day this year!

We celebrated on Saturday

so that we could just focus on her!

She opened her presents and

went to Wheeler Farm in the morning,

and then after her nap, we went swimming!

We had a really FUN, FULL day!

In the car ride over, Karli said that

she was most excited to see the pigs!

Well, her wish was granted...

On her real birthday, Sunday, we had a party with the Krommenhoeks

for Father's Day and to celebrate the June birthday's!

Karli you are such a joy in our family!

You are so fun, you love to tease, you love your big sister,

you are so busy and into everything!

You are our little monkey or our "oo-oo-ah-ah!"

We love you!
