Happy Father's Day!

Today was a great Father's Day....I am so blessed to not only have a wonderful Dad of my own, a great father-in-law and an absolutely AMAZING father to our children.

The day started off with being able to watch one of my very bestest friends, Christie be baptized on her daughter's 2nd birthday. What a journey Christie has been through and we give all of the praise to our Father in Heaven. Christie is cancer free and doing wonderful! YEAH GOD!

My mom made her delicious lasagna and we had our families over for dinner. It is always good to spend time together, and I think I often forget how very lucky I am to have my dad living so close by. I am so thankful he is here to be a part of our kid's life and I think I forget to tell those I love dearly how much they mean to me and how thankful I am for them....so I love you dad!



And of course, I again must brag on my husband and what an amazing father he is! I could not have asked for a better daddy to our kids and today, Carson and I were able to pray over Cy at our church service. To hear your child thank God for their daddy because "he plays with me and that he is best daddy in the whole, wide world....now that just brings tears to my eyes.

How am I such a lucky girl to have been given to the best dad to take care of me, not only as a little girl but as a "big" girl. To have a father-in-law that raised a wonderful man that is the best father to our children! WOW I am blessed!

New Mexico

The kids and I just got back this week from New Mexico. We had a really fun time, but we all really missed Cy and it is always good to get back home. We started our little road trip by going to Carlsbad to watch Logan and her team the Intimidators play in a tournament. I loved watching them play and it really made me miss playing. Her team did really well considering there were over 30 teams there. Mom and Dad also went to Carlsbad so we were able to take Carson and Brantley to the cemeteries and show them where my grandparents and sister are buried. Brantley thought it was neat to see her middle name and we were able to remind her that she was named after Amber. Carson really wanted to try to find his name to see his name and I tried to explain to him that he the 5th C. W. Hill and we probably would not find his exact name on a headstone.

We then drove to Albuquerque on Sunday after two games, to see Rayna and her family. I was so excited to meet her little one, Asher and he is such a happy, little guy. We always have a great time together and it is hard to believe that we have been friend's since about our boys' ages. We did some shopping on the square in Santa Fe and Old Town, went to the Aquarium and of course, ate some amazing food.

On Tuesday night, we had a mini Del Norte High School Reunion and it was fun to catch up with some old friend's and meet their children. We all laughed about how times have changed and how we cannot believe that we have been out of high school for 16 years.....where does the time go? Everyone loved Carson's Texas accent! I guess I don't realize he has one...but everyone else does!

Second Chances

Thank goodness for second chances....or maybe this will be my third, fourth, fifth chance to really start a blog. This is something I have wanted to do but seem to never get around to it....so I will give it another shot. I think it will be great to have and hope my kids will enjoy looking back and seeing what life was all about....I know I enjoy remembering things from the past! This will be trial and error as I try to get pictures up but I will have fun learning! Cheers to another chance!
