proud to be an AMERICAN

Hope everyone had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend.


I think of our troops often and pray for their safe return. Their courage and bravery is astounding to me. And for those who have fallen in the line of duty I can't express enough gratitude. I truly believe it is largely because of these brave men and women that we live in the GREATEST COUNTRY on EARTH!

As for our content little family, we shared a quiet and relaxing weekend together. No exciting vacations, big camping excursions, or even fancy bar-b-q's. Just a weekend focused on being appreciative of the simple (yet all so important) things in our lives, like....

Enjoying the "kid-ness" in Ryan one last year before he becomes a teenager (Happy 12th Birthday Buddy)



Getting to spend some alone time as a couple (thanks Mom & Dad), and taking part in a really cool outdoor hobby




And just good old fashioned backyard fun with Daddy




So THANKFUL, so PROUD, so BLESSED to live in this great country!
