Perfect Sisters

My perfect sister holds me tight.
My perfect sister kisses me goodnight.
My perfect sister knows when I’m mad.
My perfect sister helps me when I’m sad.
My perfect sister is so smart.
My perfect sister has my heart.
My perfect sister is good and nice.
My perfect sister holds me at night.
My perfect sister is here to stay.
My perfect sister loves to play.

Praise God for perfect sisters!!!

George the Monkey

Oh, what would I do without my family?!? They are just so entertaining. This is better than some things I've seen on PBS!

In case you don't know, George, the monkey in the video, was given to our dog Liberty a few years ago for Christmas. Since then, he has taken on a mind and personality of his own. Allegiance ha really taken up with him. He can be very rude and obnoxious at times, but I have to say that he can be pretty entertaining. :-)

God is so good!

On the fourth of July while we were waiting around for the fireworks, we hung out in Barnes and Noble for awhile. We sampled many books, and I found out about Brian "Head" Welsh, who used to be a member of the band Korn until he found God. AMAZING story...I have been pretty taken by it since reading excerpts from the book. I have never done drugs nor ever had more money than I knew what to do with like this guy, but I can attest to the wonderful love of God and I think it is pretty awesome what God did in Brian's life!

He is also releasing an album on his own, apart from Korn, which will reflect his journey from what he was to who he is now in Christ. But, I listened to a little bit of it, and it is not really the type of music I listen to anymore. So I won't be buying it...but I can say that I am excited to meet Brian in heaven one day!

Seven Great Years!

Here is a sampling of our last 7 years...May God bless us with many, many more!!!

Vacation!

Rich has been on vacation this past week. We stayed close to home and took a little mini-vacation. It was really nice to stay close to home but still get away.

Wiggles Time!

We had a great time at the Wiggly Play Center. I say "we" but mostly Allegiance had a great time. But as you can tell by the video and pics, Hannah enjoyed herself too!

Celebrate Freedom

We went to the Celebrate Freedom concert that I posted about previously, but unfortunately it was soooo hot, we only made it for a couple of hours on Friday night. We still had a good time as we always do when we're hanging out as a family. :-)

Nothing like a three year old climbing all over you in 98 degree weather!!!

Hannah with two of the Veggie Tales!
These sticks were too cool. Rich and Hannah were practically experts by the time we left.

Allegiance's Wish

This past weekend we had some friends from Dumas come to visit. Allegiance could not have been happier. I was afraid she might be a little jealous...but instead it just reinforced her wish for a baby brother or sister!!!

She was really good with him and he was such a little sweetie! I have a picture where I have this same expression on my face while I am watching my little brother, Dustin.

Happy Independence Day

From our family to Yours: Happy 4th of July!!!

Soccer Star

Here is the next big soccer star!

Allegiance has wanted to play soccer since she saw a group of little girls playing in a field on our evening walk one day. She was riding in her stroller and she thought it looked like so much fun, she couldn't stop talking about it. She would point out soccer fields whenever we drove past them, and she has taken to calling Rich "Coach Daddy."

Yesterday, we went to Academy and Coach Daddy bought her some soccer gear so she could start practicing. She had fun, but she didn't last long today...
