Too busy for LIFE

Have you ever felt too busy for

LIFE?

Well I'm feeling that way ever since my kids went back to school.

Some nights we have three, four, five activities...

and I'm still wondering how to accomplish them all and be in three places at once.

I know I'm not alone.

It means making sacrifices.

Like my ZUMBA classes, blog time, study time and QUIET time.

I wouldn't have it any other way...

so I'm trying to be patient when I don't get to blog as much as I want, or Zumba as much as I want, or have the 

QUIET time I need.

I am much later in getting these pictures posted from our

FAMILY CAMPING TRIP

and since this blog is also turning into my own personal 

FAMILY HISTORY

I don't want to not share them.

So here I go:

Thank goodness the boys decided to cover our kitchen with tarps...

it saved us the second day

when it rained off and on.

 The kids LOVED being outside and the freedom to 

get dirty and wet.

Love Chelsea's face in this one!

 What a teenage boy likes to do!

 What a Redneck likes to do!

 I love how ALL the boys in the family look up to Cameron and allow him to teach them!

 Thank you kids for brushing your teeth!

 I love these pictures of Katie...

for those who know her as shy and quiet,

this proves otherwise!

This is how our family knows her!

Silly and fun!

 Always the cheerleader!

Time for fishin!

This cartoon is perfect for this fishing experience:

 But sometimes the best part of camping...

is doing the

UNPLANNED things

like sitting around the campfire talking,

 spending time learning and growing together,

 receiving hugs from the grandkids,

 playing horses PATUT while it rains,

  teaching the kids how to play

BOCCE BALL,

and spending time in the beautiful country

GOD

so lovingly created for all of us!

 

I especially love how we are already planning our next one!
