A Wild and Wonderful Summer!

July has been a busy month. Landon celebrated his 7th birthday(can you believe it!) and we went to Zuma Fun Center with his buddy Tyler Brown. We had a great time. We also had a pool party at the Eller's neighborhood pool. We had a great time with family. The Lord has truly blessed us with a wonderful extended family that I love very much! Landon had his final baseball tournament this past weekend. They finished in 3rd place. He has improved so much and is really enjoying playing the game. Fall signups are in a few weeks and I am sure we will start this all over again :) The girls are doing well. Rheagan is thrilled about starting school and of course I am a nervous wreck. We truly are great friends. She is me made over (just half the size). I know all of you are thinking that I have gotten what I deserve :) Addi is potty training and she is doing fairly well. She is a wonderful little girl. She is a firecracker full of independence. The Lord has given me 3 wonderful children (4 if you count Kevin) and I am grateful for each of them. Please be in prayer for Kevin's job. Things are up in the air right now and we are learning to trust the Lord with the uncertainty. Also, Ryan is well and we covet your prayers for him. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to hear from many of you soon!

Greetings!

Well, since my mom updated you on Rheagan's party and on my Landon's championship season, I will just let you know that we are having a great summer and are enjoying our time with the kids (as little as it is). We leave for vacation on July 26 and we are going to Seabrook Island, SC. We are so excited. I haven't been on a vacation in years. The kids have never swam in the ocean so they are looking forward to it. I will just be glad to not have to go to work! The Lord is blessing and we are talking with Landon about baptism. Please be in prayer about that. We don't want to convince him of salvation, but he gives a clear testimony. Kevin is teaching a table in our 20's Sunday School class and the Lord is using that opportunity in his life. I hope all of my friends are doing well. I was in the newborn nursery tonight at church and I had the privilege of holding Pastor and Mrs. Boyle's granddaughter! She is gorgeous and I was excited to see Amy too. Congrats to them. I hope to hear from you all soon. Take care and God bless!

Yes, I am alive.

Well, I have crawled out of the black hole called life for a few moments to update our blog. All is well in Smiddyland. We are almost done with school. Landon is ready for summer and frankly, so am I. We are going to Seabrook Island, SC with Kevin's family in July and I am very ready for a vacation. Rheagan turns 5 on Thursday (May 8) and we are having a tea party for her and her friends on the 17th at Grammie's house. She is very excited! Kevin is about to change positions and shifts at work, so pray for that, if you will. I hope that all of my friends are doing well and that you are experiencing the Lord's blessings in your life. He is SO GOOD and how often I forget. Also, please remember to pray for Ryan. He has been in Iraq for 2 weeks now. We have heard from him a couple of times, but not in the last few days. Pray for the Lord's protection and for his peace in our hearts over the next year. Thank you all.

Winter is Almost Over!

Praise the Lord! We were able to take a walk yesterday and play outside a little bit. The kids were thrilled to get outside. It was snowing on Saturday and it will be 72 tomorrow! How crazy is that! We are all doing well. The kids are growing soooo quickly. Addisyn will be 2 in less than a month. I can't believe it. Landon is almost done with another school year. Baseball is in full swing :) He is playing on a Farm team this year and all of the kids are older than him. I think he will do well. Ryan is due home in a few weeks for a short visit before he heads overseas. Please continue to pray for him!

It Has Been So Long!

Hello all. It has been a while since I have updated. We have had some sickness in our family, including myself. Yuck! Basketball season for Landon is almost over and he did very well for his first year. We have to sign up for baseball the end of this week. Yea! From one thing to another. We turned in the registration form for Rheagan to start kindergarten in the fall. I can't believe it! It seems like she just got here and of course Landon is going into the 2nd grade. Time really flies. People used to say that to me all the time, but now I realize that it is true. Continue to pray for Ryan. He is doing well in training. We should see him before he leaves for overseas in April! Doesn't he look awesome in his uniform and gear! I hope everyone is well and I look forward to hearing from you all!

My Inaugural Post

Finally, I am part of the blogging in-crowd. Bear with me while I learn the ropes. I have put some pictures of the kids on here and will add more as I have time. The year has started off great! Landon is playing Upward Basketball (Church league) and he is doing well. I have some pics I will put on soon. The girls are growing by leaps and bounds. I look forward to hearing from all of my old friends soon...
