iPhone photos, a day in the life....

...of the Ray family. I always enjoy downloading my iPhone photos, I tend to do it about every 3 months. It's always a nice walk down memory lane. Here is what we have been up to since the beginning of the year.
We finally sold our dining room set that we had listed on Craigslist, the same day we found exactly what we had been dreaming of and purchased this high top table courtesy of Craigslist. We LOVE it!!!!!

 Our sweet Pepper has gone deaf. He seems to be growing old gracefully though. We love him.

 On New Years Eve we enjoyed reading all the ways our family had been blessed in 2013. It was such a great reminder of all we have to be thankful for.

 A heart made out of a stem. A heart, to me, represents God's overwhelming love.

 We pretty much skipped winter this year. Hardly any cold days, but at least we weren't snowed in like the rest of the country and could walk around in jeans and flip flops and a short sleeve shirt.

 Child #2 got braces. $$$$$$$$$

 Camden's wing man, always there for him.

 I let Annagrace read my old diary from elementary school. She was very amused.

 This boy turned 13! I can't believe he is already a teenager!!!!!

 Aunt TT taught Annagrace how to crochet, she is loving it!

 This is the reason I blog, always a nice reward after a years worth of blogging.

 A note Anna wrote to daddy. :)

 I'm now sure what we were doing here but besides being silly I'm not sure what our point was.

 I can't believe this is happening. Jadon will be heading off to MVHS in the Fall.

This book changed the way I pray, it was so impactful and I am a changed person because of it. The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson.

 I love drinking ice water out of these cups.

 A nice relaxing afternoon in the winter sun.

 Anna's teddy bear, Teddy. I'm often on Teddy duty while she is at school.

 We toured the mormon tempe in Gilbert, see previous post.

 Selfies with my girl.

 We rearranged our living room.

 Superbowl Sunday!

 We are still loving our essential oils!

 All three kids were down with strep a few weeks ago, luckily they bounced back quick but it was very strange to have them all sick at the same time. That has never happened.

 Annagrace turned 9! She is turning into such a beautiful young lady.

 For Valentines Day Michael got me this hummingbird feeder. He knows how to pick the best gifts. I've been wanting one for a long time. It's hanging right outside of our dining room window.

 Wildflowers bloomed early this year.

 Not sure what a correct caption would be for this photo. :)
