I love my boys!

The boys were busy working on a project today, and it was a surprise. I was not allowed to look in their direction when I went outside. I figured they were building some sort of fort or something, but they kept saying it was for Ryan and me.(?what could it be?) We had to wait till after dinner before they were ready to show us our surprise. We walked outside and they had it covered up with a sleeping bag! They finally revealed it and it was a...

Bench! A homemade bench! We laughed so hard, and of course had to try it out! They said "Mom gets the padded side!" They had duct taped some leather scraps on Ryan's side "so his butt didn't get dirty!" Oh my funny sweet sons, I have no idea what made them think of making us a bench, but they did a pretty good job, we sat on it and it held us up! Now we have a place to sit next to each other around the campfire! Thanks guys, we love it! And we love you!!

My darling little diva and her posh little puppy!

Ryan is leaving for Mexico (driving) next week Thursday morning on a mission trip with some of the youth group... and I get to join him! I am so excited! My sister-in-law Lisa and I are flying out next Saturday (we will beat him there by a few hours) and staying till Thursday. We finally booked our tickets and we are on the count down! We will be serving (doing anything they want us to do) at the Lilly of the Valley Orphanage in Chihuahua Mexico. To learn more about Lilly, click here. Or click here to see more!
