Two weeks shy of a year and a half

Well we come to June amazed that it is already June. Does time always fly by this fast? Much is happening in this family and many blessings are had. Rob and I are coming up to our four year anniversary on thursday and its such a blessing to look back on the past four years of marriage and the joys that have been witnessed. Its sometimes hard to remember life before having a daughter and husband. God sure is good.
The past couple weeks have been so great fun with Allie. She is at such a fun age and both Rob and I are loving it. She is LOVING coloring. Grandma and Grandpa got her the coolest table for her birthday that has a roll of paper on the side that you can drape over the top of it so many times a day I find my little lady there scribbling away. Whats funny is that I will ask her to draw something such as a cat and she will go "K" and run over and "draw" a cat. Now it looks just like a scribble of course but she definitely thinks she is drawing a cat :) She is also loving the Sun and so is her mommy :) Living on base is such a dream on any given day there are probably 4 other wives sitting in someones yard with 5+ kids playing and now that its warm there are plenty of water toys out. Its so fun to be able to walk outside and just sit with other women while the kids go crazy in the yard. Love it! One of allies biggest accomplishments this week is that she is walking Bubba all by herself. As we walk the dogs around the block Allie holds Bubba's leash all by herself and walks with him. She even yells "NO" When he gets out of line :) I guess it pays to have a bulldog :)
Oh yeah we were super blessed to have my sister and her husband come in town memorial day weekend! We had SUCH a great time. It was such a relaxing and fun weekend. Lots of laughing, food, playing, and swimming was had. Always refreshing to spend time with family.

After Kate and Chris left I got to go up to emporia to register my last bible study girl into college. What an amazing thing to spend almost four years investing in my girls and to get to watch and support them ALL go to college (two of them being the first generation to go). Patty, my last highschool graduate, is going to Emporia University, which is about an hour and a half away. We drove up and I got to enjoy a day with my cousin michelle and her daughter hannah. We had such a great time and Allie especially did. Michelle has a lot of land and so she has all these outdoor cats four of them being kittens. Well Allie fell IN LOVE with the kittens. For days allie was saying baby cats. I am nervous that Allie may be a little bit too much like me and now for years will be bringing animals home and wanting to keep them. I guess I will get a taste of what my parents went through. mmm. fantastic. :)

Well I will put photos on asap of all these events. Sorry such a long blog and I will really try to get on here more often so they're shorter
