I don't deserve a blog

I have not posted since June it has been a crazy time in the Underwood house. Ashtyn Just turned 7 last week and she started the second grade today. We had a horse themed party for her at her favorite summer camp OHDC. Her cake was about the size of a wedding cake, mom and dad went a little overboard as always, but there is nothing like spoiling your kids. We had to make it good b/c Ashtyn had informed us it was her "golden birthday" b/c she turned 7 on the 7th and that only happens once!

Avery moved into the "big girl class" at First Steps today too. All my girls are growing up so stinkin fast. Avery and Ashtyn woke up this AM and were pretending to be in a tent under the sheets. This sleeping in the same bed thing is just too funny. Avery is full of words these days and repeating everything we say!


Last night at church we had a dodgeball tournament at the church it was great lights fog and watching a 6th grade girl knock out high school boys was a blast. We had about 80 people show up and over half were teenagers. God is really going to do some cool things this year at Brentwood Student ministries.

Well with school back in the girls are not the only ones that have to get up early so I better call it a night!

I will get better at this...I think

The purpose of a Blog is???

I suppose the purpose of a Blog is to share what is going on in this brain of mine on a more consistent basis with a little more depth than what I can fit in a status update or a tweet.

This week is the the first week in June and I can feel the summer upon me already. With youth camps and mission trips I will officially spend more time away from my home than in it. I am excited to see what God has in store for me as well as my church and youth group. I am thankful for a wife that feels the call of God to be a support and a mother to our children so that I can pursue where He leads us.

Tomorrow night we will move into our new youth facility, I feel like God is really opening a door for us and I am anxious to see where He leads.

This week Ashtyn is spending sometime in KY with her cousins and mimi and papaw...just having 2 girls in the house almost seems lonely. Wow how life has changed for us...but I wouldn't want it any other way. Next week she starts Oak Hill Day camp...there is a post for another time but it is truly amazing the way life comes full circle.

My Final thought (on this extremely late night) is... life truly does go by too fast...It has forced me to am I doing enough with what God has blessed me with? Am I making a difference for Him?
