What is Lauren up to now?

Lauren seems to get more attention on this blog than anyone else, but she is the one that is constantly doing something silly and you should always keep your camera near by. The other night we were sitting down to dinner and were eating lasagna and salad. I had a plate of cucumbers out for those that like them in their salad. Lauren decided to start smelling one and putting it on her nose. With out even thinking about who I was talking to, I told her cucumbers are suppose to be good for your eyes. Lauren proceeded to see if she believed that with 2 slices on her eyes and then put holes in them so she could see. Once again we were all laughing, but I did have to finally tell her to stop playing with her food.
Yes, she did go ahead and eat them because Lauren does not believe in wasting food.

The Sun City

We have been out here in El Paso for over 8 months now and are beginning to get settled in. We are a little cramped in a much smaller house, but we are together and that is all that matters. It is pretty out here, but definitely different from South Carolina. We have been to the yearly air show on Ft. Bliss already and the girls, as well as Greg, enjoyed getting to see all the military planes, tanks, and missile launchers. We have been doing lots of hiking and rock climbing. We have explored Hueco Tanks State Park twice now and bought a park pass so we can go back many more times this year. We can't wait to see all the plants and cactuses bloom next spring. They say the bottom side of the mountains we are near, the Franklin Mountains, are covered with Mexican Poppies in the spring.

We have had some new additions to our family since we moved. I know what you are thinking and no we really didn't need more mouths to feed. We bought a full blooded German Shepherd female puppy named Sascha. She is 4 months old now and weighs about 40 pounds already. Hannah went to the bank with me one day and found a stray cat that came home with us. I am a softy and couldn't give it away after seeing Hannah get so attached. Her name is Libby and she is still trying to figure out Goober. Lauren and Shelby also have a male beta, named Larry, in their room now. We told them we are maxed out on pets and will never be able to go on vacation again.

Our Story

Greg and I were married on April 17th, 2007. We had a whirl wind romance and knew without a doubt that God had blessed us with one another the day we met. We feel blessed to have been given a second chance at love and will always honor God for that by keeping him first in this marriage. We are very proud to have 7 children combined and have even considered adopting one of our own some day, if it is in God's plans. Our love for one another, the bond we share daily, and the overall way we feel towards each other continues to amaze us each day!

Sledding 101!!! HA!HA!
