Here are some new pics. I just love these kiddos!! I think it is so cool how you don't just love your own kids, you really like who they are. I remember Mom always telling me "I don't just love you, I like you a whole lot too." I always thought that was silly but now I really get it, and I really do like Emma, Lilli, and Joshua!!

These are the pictures from our Mothers Day camping trip. We didn't get to stay long, but we had fun, and it was nice to be outside. I love nature, and what it says about God. I really don't know how you can look at it all and not know there is a God. To me it just screams out his holy name. Being out made me remember camping and backpacking when I was younger. I used to think I was going to live in the North West somewhere and work at a little camping store with my kayak on top of 4 Runner. Life didn't turn out quite like I imagined back then. There are things I could have never imagined about my life. I have met some of the coolest people, and best friends. I have a job that allows me to make my own schedule with my family, and that I LOVE too. I have a three awesome kids who keep me smiling everyday, and a marriage that has been an absolute miracle from God. When I think of how far we have come, and what God has done it really humbles me. God is good even when life isn't so much.

I am really thankful for where God has brought the Akin family, or the Akin Frogs as some of you know us. This mothers day was a good time to hang out and see God's creativity, and just enjoy being a family. God really is so good. It is said that "Life is what happens when you are making other plans," and for me that has been true so far.
I Love this picture of Lilli Bean.
This was our campsite early Sunday morning. Happy Mothers Day, from God!!

Okay I am going to try and get caught up on the blogging. Our biggest event recently was the girls recital. They did such a good job and we had so much fun. I actually am going to be taking some ballet pictures next year for the school so I can cut back on the weddings a little. I am very excited about that. I actually had alot of fun doing these pictures. So much FUN!!
