So I've been reading along following this story lately of a lovely family from Mesa, Az. The mother, Stephanie and her husband Christian were in a tragic plane crash last month and are in critical condition in the burn unit at a hospital in AZ. Stephanie's body has sustained burns over 80%, and Christians over 30%. Stephanie was known for her famous blogs and since the accident all of her readers have came out to support the family with love and donations during this hard time. Some of her siblings were interviewed on the Today show yesterday morning. You can see the clip by clicking here.
I'd encourage you all to read Stephanie's blog. Her overall joy for life has inspired thousands to be better wives, mothers, christians, etc. http://www.nieniedialogues.blogspot.com.
You can find updates on their condition, the kids, and the rest of the family on her sister Courtney's blog at www.cjanerun.blogspot.com

This past week my family came to visit and to see the new baby. They had quite a fun time playing in the fountains at Clay Terrace, swimming at the pool, and catching a bazillion toads outside our house. Today I found a few dried and belly up ones in the lawn. Poor things never got put down all weekend.

Rick and Erica's Wedding

What a beautiful bride, and such a perfect wedding. We had such a great time at Erica and Rick's wedding. I think I am still dreaming of how delicious that cake was!

Back From Little Eden

LE was a great time once again. Lots of laughs with family, plenty of sunshine, and a few lucky casino winners! The kids loved the beach and taking boat rides. The guys were once again successful with their night fishing escapades. Here are a few pics to sum up the week.
