My Goodness! How time flies when you're having fun!

Hi everyone... I cannot believe this spring and summer just flew by so fast!  One of the crazy things about life is that when you are not careful, it passes you by! 

We had a wonderful church camp season... my kids had a blast going down each week and helping with registration.  Then we were able to go as an entire family for a week!  Dad was our sons' coach and I was our daughter's coach!  It is wonderful that they are all able to go and that we can experience it as a family!

We finished with camp season the end of June and had to be moved by July 1st!!!  What an adventure!  The church bought a parsonage for us to live in!  We went from 980 square feet with a backyard that we could not use to 2400 square feet on a double lot, beautiful back yard with a pool and a great place for a trampoline!!!  We barely left the backyard the rest of the summer!!!  God is good and always has a blessing in store if we are patient and ready!

August brought a wonderful vacation to Six Flags (a first for our kids) and then off to New Mexico for a wonderful time of camping, hiking, and fishing!  We came home so relaxed and refreshed.  It always amazes me what mountain air will do to your body and spirit!

We are doing great with our homeschooling... trying to stay on track and the kids are really doing well with the schedule!  They seem to thrive with consistency!!  Who would have thought!!  LOL  They are all in volved in soccer... one stop practices, games, and not alot of craziness for our family as a whole!  We get to all be in one spot a couple of evenings a week and that makes mommy and daddy really happy!!! 

I will post pics later... just wanted to update everyone and let you all know that the Castro family is still here!!!   Hope to hear from everyone!!
