Thanks for confessing!

Watch your back folks or should I say windows!

Doug and I had an awesome anniv. thanks so much to Wysonda (FeeFee) for watching our kids. They sure love her and we do too. I can't believe we've been married 6 years, it's been a blast so far and can't wait for many more years. Lord willing!

    Who knows when you'll read this, but I'm so glad you came and stayed over at the retreat!! How fun to enjoy each other without the kiddos running and doing circles around us. Thank you!

    Thank you so much for the prayers I know that God will hear them. It means so much to me and my family that you would do that. Tell Derek and Amber Hi and thanks for all you are doing on my behalf.

    NEW POST.......
    by vanessa_1993 at 06/28/09 8:36PM

Alright who was it???

I wish you all could have seen the look on Doug's face when he saw his car tonight when we drove in the driveway. Someone, (and I will find out who it was) "tagged" his car, writing on the windows. He thought for sure his car had been vandalized and all his tires popped. I said "Doug do you really think if someone was going to hurt your car they would write "happy anniversary" and draw a smilely face?" After it sunk in that it was friendly fire he was OK. BUT, I want to know who it was. Hope you all had fun, props to Ryan and Dianna for throwing such and great idea for a party.

Well, here goes...

We went to Dolphin Island Ala. for 2 weeks in June and then spent the last two weeks in Edna while Addie and John learned how to swim. That's about it. Very glad to be home and around are family here. We missed everyone very much!!!

VBS was awesome! Props to everyone who taughtand made it so much fun for our little ones!

Well I'm going to go now and try to come up with some more interesting stuff later.

    by kimgriffith at 09/04/08 4:00PM

A lot has happend lately!!!

I have been typing for the last 45 mins and talking to my Sister Kammi on the phone and totaly deleted my entry. OK Starting again...

For those that don't know, my Uncle Leonard has been living with us for the past few months. He had been living with my Mom but she isn't able to tend to all his needs any longer. Now I finally have my fourth child. Leonard was born mentally retarded so the kids love having another person around to play with, He is 62 but about their age mentally.

My very favorite Uncle on my Dads side passed away last week. He was diagnosed with lung cancer, given a few months to live and died within 2 weeks. The part that breaks my heart the most is I never got to say goodbye in person and he was never restorded to God. The kids and I will be flying to San Diego Wednesday afternoon for a week before the funeral and Doug will fly to SD Wednesday the 10th to join us.

Big surprise...

We are taking the kids to Disneyland on Thursday after Doug gets there. Everyone in the family is going so it should be a lot of fun!!! Our kids have never been and will die when they find out.

I better getting going...

I'll try to post more later, I know you can't wait!!!

Enjoy the new music. Doug and I love Stevie Wonder, his music makes us smile!!!

    Wow, you are right, a lot going on. So sorry to hear about the loss of your Uncle - is this one that I would have known? I hope you have a safe trip to SD - I will keep all of you in my prayers. I know the kids will love Disney - the real one :)

    Also sorry to hear about Kandi. When does she get the test results back? I'll be praying for good news. I did see pictures of Kammi's little one. She is a doll as are all of yours. We don't have any little ones yet, just our 3 spoiled fur kids. So where has Kathi been living recently?
