Dan (Danny for those of you who complain about the new name, you know who you are) and I celebrated our 10 year Anniversary this year (well, we have been married 10 years this year, I am still waiting on the trip, presents, etc. to celebrate!). Anyway, we had pictures taken a couple of weeks ago that are a great representation of our life now. It amazes me how quickly the time has gone and how much has changed! God has blessed me more than I could dream, and I am so grateful for this life he has given me! Ten years from now, we will be 43, Andrew will be 16 and Anna will be 14. Will there be anymore kids??? I can't believe how the time flies. Thanks baby for everything!
Here are the pictures if you are interested in seeing them. And if you need a photographer in the area, they are great!

Summer this far
ice cream in Chattanooga
Children's Museum in Chattanooga. My kids talk about this all year long. They love it!
Emily and Andrew at Family birthday party.
After a week of VBS with sweet Megan, and many old and new friends, and the end-of-the year baseball party, we headed to out for the Family birthday party. After the cake, we got to go swimming. When we returned from the beach, we bought one of those big blow up pools. My kids are finally like little fishies! We love the pool!
We then wrapped up VBS at our church, headed to Jackson, and then on to Tennessee. I have done a terrible job at taking pictures this summer.
Anna's dress is made from a pillowcase that belonged to her great, great grandmother, the first Ruth West.
Beach trip, day three
On our way to Foley. We stayed 6 hours. Dan and I bought lots, and Anna got a pair of flip flops and Andrew heeleys. Right before we left, we let them play at the playground and ran into Taylor. Such a treat!
We built a big hole. I have never done that before. Quite interesting!
Dan loved to boogie board. I use to, but someone had to sit with the kids.
Andrew and Anna loved playing in the sand.
I thought she was trying to skimboard, but, no, that was her stage, and she was dancing!
Beach trip, day two
Off to the beach, first thing. That afternoon, we went shopping in Foley. The kids did great. Dan and I bought lots, and they got nothing!
Beach trip, day one
We had so much fun on the beach. Our only vacation just the four of us except for Disney. So wonderful. And a special thanks to good friends for being so understanding of this. You know who you are.
Any way, we head out at 7:00 Monday morning stopped about 30 minutes from home to go to the bathroom and get a gas station snack, then lunch in Mobile, and at the condo by 1:00. We unloaded the car, and went to the grocery store, and FINALLY made it to the beach! The kids LOVED it. Then to the pool. We had to bribe them to put their face in the water. 
God created a lazy river on the beach. It was pretty cool.
Both Andrew and Dan wanted to learn to skim board. Really more Dan. They did pretty good. I thought it was scary, and it hurt my back!
Anna's first Dance Recital
I don't even have the words for how cute this was. You would have to see the video. I will show it to anyone who will watch!
