Camping Trip on June 5th weekend

June 5th Weekend we went camping with 4 other families at Jack Rabbit Campground in Hayesville, North Carolina. WE had a BLAST! The weather was perfect! NO BUGS or RAIN, Thank you GoD!! Yes, we tent camped. Some others were in better luxury, but we survived. Thanks Darren and Kristi for letting us borrow the tent! We enjoyed great food, fun play times on the water, campfire times, and great memories were made.

This was the car packed to go...the bikes were on the outside back of the car.

Group Picture of everyone but Brody...he slipped away to go and see his Grandparents

The Mejia family...excuse all the dirt :-)

Darren was such a good sport....he had to help ALL 5 families get set up...
That's what happens when you are a Pro...

Danny putting the final touches

Riding bikes and playing

Enjoying some watermelon and snacks!

We had great sites...right on the lake

Enjoying a little fishing time!

Darren & Adam

Riley and Brody

We had 3 boats tied up together and the kids could walk back and forth. That way we could all share the snacks and jump in the water. It doesn't get any better than this!

The boys got so tired that they had to take a little siesta!! How cute!

Danny tried a little wake boarding...Kristi & Darren are teaching him and pulling him on the Jet Ski.

He was able to get up for a little bit...still need some more practice

FUN...FUN...FUN

Well, Alison talked me into getting on the tube with her! I'm not so sure she's my friend! LOL

Here we are....not sure it is picture worthy.

It was a lot of fun...I think everyone on the lake heard us!

This was Lucas while I was gone on the tube...he didn't like it that I was away from him....ahhhhh...how sad but sweet!

A little resting time in the water...it felt so good!

Some cookin' action going on....JR and Andy at work...good job guys!

Holly washing dishes after eating....don't let me fool you...Alison did it most of the time!

Steve celebrated his birthday with us..

Couldn't get the candles to lite..

So Kristi held out a match for him to make his wish!

Camp fire stories...we laughed until we cried!

Steve shared his Chocolate cake with the kids the next morning...

They really enjoyed it.

What a great time we had!!

We had 12 children between the ages of 1 and 6...but everyone

got along well.

Our Family

Well, a day in the life of the Mejia's, is never a dull moment. Danny works very hard for our family as an RN in a children's hospital in critical care. In his spare time he has taken up a love for woodworking. He has made us a wonderful bench for our dining room table and some stools for the kids. Holly tries very hard to balance between family life, working from home as an embroider/sewer, being a teacher now to Lily, and a friend to some amazing people we have met here in the mountains. Lily is now 5 years old and has wanted to be homeschooled for a long time. We finally made that decision to do that and she is doing amazing. Lucas is now 3 years old and is full of energy! He never stops going. He is very smart and also has a big temper. But the next minute he is saying, "Mom, I love you...you are my favorite Princess." Of course, I melt. Ty is now 16 years old...watch out and stay off the road if you are anywhere near Gainesville! He doesn't take much time to stay in touch with us these days. That makes the whole family really sad but all we can do is pray EVERYDAY for him. We love and miss him terribly.
As for now, that completes the Mejia family. Occasionally, I want to add a furry friend (dog), but for now...we just don't have the time or energy.

May God bless your life as he has so richfully blessed our family.

We have survived the Summer (2008)

Well, we did it. We survived this summer. It was a very busy one for us. Gustavo and the boys came to visit. We had Vacation Bible school for a week. It was my first year teaching--2 & 3 year olds. Boy, that was challenging. We went to Enota campground and visited with Uncle Rob and Aunt Lyn with Elena. That was a super experience. Then the 4th of July celebrations in town and at church. Then the company just kept rolling in. The kids enjoyed having all the company. Riley and Peyton came for 9 days. It was packed full of fun. We went to the Georgia mountain fair--which we enjoy every year. Grandma took the girls horseback riding. Then Rhonda brought Nana Inez and Taren and Dolph came and we had such a good time. After they left, Mila, Xavier, Jorge, Mila's parents and Ty came for a week. Those teenagers keep you busy! Lily and Lucas really enjoyed seeing Ty. They miss him so much. Now, school has started back. Lily started Kindergarten. So far, she likes it pretty good. Lucas will start a pre-school for 2 mornings a week.
Thanks for visiting our blog. Check back often, because I try to keep it updated...however, I still have a lot to do since I've been so busy this summer.
We don't know if we have tomorrow, so tell the people you love...that you love them....
Have a great day...and be Blessed!
In His name,
The Mejia's

This Summer (2008)

Hey everyone,

This summer seems to be flying by. We have stayed so busy! We have had company, survived Vacation Bible School, and now this week getting ready for Lily's Birthday party for this weekend. After her party we have Nana Elizabeth and Sam coming for a few days. After that we have Riley and Peyton coming while the fair is here. We have a lot planned and are real excited about the next couple of weeks. We miss everyone back in Florida but are so excited to be here in the Georgia Mountains!
Until next time, Find refuge in Him!
Love,
The Mejia's
