Our little holiday...









We just got home on Saturday from the lake (Echo).  We were there for over a week.   It sure was busy but FUN!!  Joel's whole family was there, including his sister and her little girl from Victoria.  The day's we full of good food.... LOT"S of food, laughter, loud games, boat time, surf time, SHOPPING, tanning and oh did I mention food?? I think I put on a good couple of pounds from the holiday.   Makenna our "little monster" has grown up so fast this past month.   She is talking up a storm her newest ones are "pa pa's boat, duck, buder (for buster the dog) and danks for Thanks!!  She is also a busy little sign language  girl... of course to make the mother-in-law happy!!  We had such a great time!! I just love having such great family, even though it was time  to depart we were ALL ready if you get my drift!!!  =D   
The Hogg's are so fun and well.... can a complain I have a FREE vacation to the lake when ever we want!!

We have been so blessed in our lives with people  who love and care for us.   Family is one of the greatest gifts anyone could ask for.  As I look back on my life and reflect on the decisions I have made... I know that EVERYTHING happens for a reason and that my Heavenly Father loves me so much!  I feel his love for me each day as I look into my sweet baby girls eyes and the gentle touch of a loving husband.  The past has made me the person I am today and I would not change anything if I could!! I am so proud of where Joel and I are today... we could not have done it without the help of our Savior and his eternal love for us. I only look forward to the future and what lies ahead for my sweet family.

Sorry for the picture overload... I love pictures!!
