Miracles Happen...: I'm Back...Hopefully for Good!=)

It has been almost a whole month since I last blogged! Unbelieveable! I imagine no one is reading this anymore due to my lack of posts...totally understandable. I am planning on getting more consistent now and here's why: =) On Saturday we got a new computer AND the interent!!!!=) Yay! No more buying time in the apartment clubhouse. I have truly enjoyed my 2 months without the internet and have gotten tons done...but...it is time!=) I am so limited in keeping up with people and even Jeremy without it. Hopefully my "break" will have taught me how to be a wise internet user and not let it eat all of my time!

So, where do I start? Seriously, I'm not sure! Let's see...I'm pulling out my calendar right now to look at June! Okay, first off, Jeremy celebrated his 28th birthday! Wow! Two more years til we both hit the big 30!=) The boys and I got him some Crocs for work and lots of new clothes. We also celebrated Father's Day by getting him a book (Froggy's Day Out with Dad) and a Dick's gift card. We sure love our Daddy!=) Our family also went on vacation to the Virginia mountains with my family. It was so great! We definitely needed a break! Jeremy stayed for half of the week and then had to come back home. I stayed the rest of the time with the boys. You'll see several pictures posted from this trip. Our favorite part (besides horseback riding, go-carts, the children's museum, grass tubing, inflatables, etc.) was the indoor waterpark. Stephen had the best time! He was so brave and did almost everything there!=) Oh, and while Jeremy was there, we played golf one morning! I had not played 18 holes since before Stephen was born! That's been a long time. I did pretty good and only topped the ball one time!=) It was nice for me and Jeremy to enjoy this time together. Maybe we'll retire one day to a golf course!=) What else?...Yeah, we had VBS last week at the Summit. It went well, but Jeremy was completely worn out. Stephen actually got to go since he's 3 now. He enjoyed it but had "Mommy nights" the last 2 nights. I ended up taking him home early once and then staying with him the last night. I'm not sure what happened; I think it was just all too new for him. He learned lots, though, and made very cute crafts. I'm excited about next year's VBS! Jeremy and I are learning a lot. And most recently, Stephen had his first t-ball practice! It was so cute! And the Canter family came down, and we all went to the Durham Bull's baseball game. Great times!...=)

So, I guess that's about it. Hopefully the pictures will catch you up on our family. The boys have really grown! I am so proud of the precious family God has given us! Thanks for being patient with me. Hopefully things will be better now and a whole month won't pass by!=)

We kept our friend Erin (who's 7) last week. She is so precious and made Caleb these cute little things to wear. Doesn't he look just like his Daddy here?=)

Stephen rode a horse on vacation. He's definitely not meant to be a jockey! He said it's "too bumpy!."=)

Our family (the most recent picture we have)...So blessed!

All 4 of us loved the waterpark. They had things for Caleb's age, Stephen's, and some big rides for me and Jeremy. We had a total blast!=)

Stephen had to wear this special life vest at the outdoor section of the waterpark. No fear, that's for sure!

These are the 3 slides Stephen convinced me to let him go down (by himself, nonetheless). I have no idea who that kid is. I copied the picture from the resort's website!=) Seriously, I was so scared for him! We could not see him sliding down until his reached the bottom. I'd then scoop him up from the small pool of water. One time he came down on his back head first...Hmm? He had a great time, though, and I'm glad I was "brave" enough to let him do it!=)
