Jan 2: Lots of driving.

Today was fairly uneventful other than driving. We traveled to Memphis to pick up the kiddos who were returning from Tennessee. We got them back a little after 1PM then had some luch and tarvelled back to mom and dads in Sherwood. Spent a couple of hours there getting in a little rest before hitting the road again. Made it to Springdale about 9PM. Got the van unloaded and fixed the fam some tacos and got my lovely bride some chicken cooked up for her lunches. All together spent about 8.5 hours on the road today. The blessing in this is that we have the whole family back under one roof. Tomorrow we spend some time getting ready to head back to school. Wifey has to start back to work in the morning. Thankful for the blessings of safe travel today.

Ready for a great new year.

2011. The new year is upon us. I am looking forward to the many blessings God has in store for our family this year. The previous year was full of blessing and I know this one will be even better. We start the year off with Crystal and I going to Disney to run in the WDW Marathon. The boys will all be busy in playing basketball and the girls will be involved in dance. Crystal is almost finished with her masters degree and we are all very proud of her. Our oldest daughter Ciera has reached the milestone of 14 years of age and is learning how to drive. I am enjoying teaching her in this new endeavor. Each of the kids is growing in to fine young citizens. I look forward to the opportunity to help them keep growing into the men and women God wants them to be. All in all we were blessed with a great year in 2010 and are excited about the things god has planned for us in 2011. To put it simply we are ready for a great new year.

Recent Adventures

Hello there everyone. It has been a couple of weeks since I have been able to post. Sorry for this and I will try to get this updated more often but it has been a whirlwind of activity around our family. Since the last post we have had lots going on in the Stewart family. We got back from getting half the kids and then turned around and let them loose again.Three of the kids and Left on the 12th for Kidz Camp at Sky Ranch,Oklahoma. What a awesome time we had there. There were tons of fun activities, such as a 2000 foot zip line and the blob, as well as the great word of God being spoken each and every day. I enjoyed the boys I was counselor for and the whole experience. We returned from camp on the 15th. By the way the 3 kids that did not go to camp spent the days at grandma's house so they were not feeling too left out. We left again on the 16th right before midnight to head for Nebraska. We arrived at grandma Patty's house to drop the kids for a few days for 1st Cousins week. While the kids were having fun with Grandma and the cousins Crystal and I traveled to the Black Hills of South Dakota. While there we saw the fascinating sculpture at Mt Rushmore as well as tournig a cavern and driving through Bear Country USA. It was a good time of relaxation. We picked up the kids and headed back home getting back in the early hours of the 22nd. Since then we have had meetings, appointments, house cleaning and regular routine things to keep us moving. Last night took kids to drive-in to see G-Force and enjoyed the outing. This week starting out with today being Crystals birthday. She is out getting a run in. We are running in a quarter marathon saturday. More appointments today and starting to wind the summer down. Apologies for the length of post but will get better or regular posts.

Sherwood/Jacksonville Fun

Had a great day in central arkansas. Started the day having breakfast with some cousins in town visiting from Utah, and my grandmother. We had a wonderful visit with them as well as a breakfast filled with plenty of choices at Golden Corral. After breakfast we went to Splash Zone and played in the water with my sister and nephews. Great water park and the kids had a great time. Stopped for some Sonic for lunch afterwards then back to moms to relax for the rest of the evening. Heard great news about our friend Mark Darr who is running for Lt. Governor of Arkansas. Looking forward to tomorrow when 3 of our kids rejoin the family.

Another great day in the Stewart household. Wife and I each got a 3 plus mile run in. Getting ready to run in a quarter marathon on August 1st. Had a few deliveries for Quiznos. Daughter had a dental appointment today, it went well. We then proceeded to travel down to Sherwood. We are going to spend a couple of days here so we can pick up the other half of our clan on Saturday. Enjoyed Little Caesar's pizza for supper and now wrapping up the day visiting with Mom and Dad. All in all a blessed day.

July 8th

Well other than the special numerical significance that took place today, (12:34:56 7/8/9), this was a pretty ordinary day. I had a couple of deliveries for Quiznos. I had to go get some repaired glasses for my son. We then took the kids to enjoy the newest dessert craze in NW Arkansas, som Frozen Tung. Kids and I enjoyed while wife sipped on a route 44 Diet Dr Pepper. We came back home and relaxed and made plans to pick up the other half of our clan on Saturday. Nana came over and took the kids off our hands for a short while so I took my lovely bride to Cancun for a wonderful dinner and awesome company. Back at home calling it a day, we are thankful for the blessing God has provided us with today.
