It has been a busy few days..

I just wanted to make sure that I got all the posts and pictures up. We have had a very busy week. I need to get off here and go to bed. Just this last post and I am out!!

It was so busy I can't remember all that happened.I am going to try, Ortho appointment, funerals, memorials, lunch dates, school meetings, haircuts, encourgement to friends, helping a friend pack.. The last thing we had... A leadership summit Friday evening and most of the day today. It was very interesting. We are learning all about how to grow a healthy church. It has showed us some things that our church will be looking into and seeing if God wants us to change. I am excited to see the change and see where God will continue to lead us, to save souls for his kingdom.

Blessings to you all.
Have a good night... :D

More news....

Here are pictures of Chris and his lunch date Johanna. His new girlfriend. Mike and I joined them. We went to Burger King. It was the fastest place to go during lunch. We drove to her city which is about 1 hr away. Chris was patient the whole time. NOT!! What freeway are we on now? They are so cute together. He gave her a giraffe (that is her favorite animal) Plus chocolate. Of course all girls need some chocolate..
We spent the lunch time chatting about senior ball, school, work and different things. I am excited to be getting to know her. She is a very beautiful and sweet girl. Hopefully she will invite me to tag along shopping for her senior ball dress. :D

No more braces!!

Julianna had something to celebrate this week.. She got her braces OFF!!! Now we have to see the Dentist, she has a few skin tags that need to come off her gums. Her teeth look beautiful. She has been in braces almost the hole time she has been our daughter. So now I keep taking a double take when I am looking at her. She has a beautiful smile. What a difference braces make. I will post her before/after picture when I get it. I can't wait to be reminded of the change..

Enjoying the rain. I used to remember when I was a kid. I loved to play in the rain.



The sky.. What a beautiful sight..




I just love when it rains. I love to cuddle up with a blanket, some coffee or hot coco and just watch it fall..The other thing I love about the rain. It washes everything clean. :D





I wonder what is at the end of this rainbow?? Skittles.... :D



This girl loves bugs and stuff...






Jacob playing in his socks.... Glad he found it funny. All he could say was, MOM! they have holes in them. Can't you tell by the smile face picture. LOL... I guess we need to let them be kids sometimes...

Now they are all dried off and enjoying some Hot coco and playing games... What do you do when it rains??

The funniest things...

This morning...


This is what I came down to this morning. Jd sleeping with the remote in his hand. Classic moment.. He to must of been tired.. LOL.. He did just get home from working graveyard...



last night..

I came home from picking the dog up from her hair appointment and look who was asleep on the stairs. He must have still been tired, from wrestling the night before. Boys can sleep anywhere...

Dad needed a Haircut..

Mike is always the last one to get a haircut. This is the shortest that I have ever cut it. I think I like it. Why is it men look good with grey hair and women just look old???

warm sunny days...

Of course they had to get me with my backside in the air. LOL.... I just love working in the yard. It is so relaxing to me. I just love the way it looks when you are done....


Caught without the net.. Oh my!!!

More smiles...





Dad and Mom. Isn't my hubby a hottie???


Boys and their toys... Jake thought he was funny trying to put the bike over his sister. She was not happy.. She did let him leave it there long enough so I could take a picture. Such a good sport... Jacob..Jacob is all I heard, through the laughing. LOL..






Toma and her creative self. :D






Enjoying the sun. Reading,skating and playing games...
