A Little Thought

We asked and Prayed

It's raining!! This is good and bad news. We need the moisture really bad but the burn area is now flooding. Those poor people just can't get a break. Hopefully this moisture will be enough to put out the fire and not cause any flooding damage to the area.
Willie hates rain! Silly cat!

Fantastic Trip

We just got home from a fantastic trip to Idaho. We had a really nice time visiting Gary's family and friends. My kids love Stephanie and Morgan. I think the fresh smoke free air went to Lilly's head just a little she got out of the jeep and became a sassy little girl! I am pretty sure that Owen had to learn to walk again after being carried by Morgan all week! We got to see Joe and Becky and they are doing great. Can't wait for them to come and visit us. It was a fantastic week!

The River The Spragpole and the Shoe Fairy

So we took a trip up river and it was awesome! I can't wait until Lee and Karen get the trailer aka my vacation home up there. We had a great time playing with snakes and looking at the pretty flowers. We had a fantastic dinner at the Spragpole and took a peek around the musuem. The best part the shoe fairy sent me a great pair of boots! Ok not really Tammy had them in the back of her van non the less who gets shoes in Murray Idaho!

Happy 4th

My kids will never be the same after this trip! Uncle Christ was a super hero with all his fireworks!

Uncle Chris and His Logging Truck

Oh yes a trip to north Idaho would not be complete without a ride in Uncle Chris's logging truck! Owen was stoked to drive and blow the horn! And then it was the girls turn!

Visiting Matt

Matt passed away nine years ago and it feels like yesterday. I adored Matt and it is so painful that Lilly and Owen will never know this gentle giant. We were blessed to take the kids to see Matt's headstone. He is so missed, and not like the time when I missed him with my Neon!

No Thank You!!!

Teddy found a Starbucks in Kuwait, Okinawa and in the middle of bum nowhere Georgia. However we could not find one in the state of Montana to save our lives and then after a little prayer it appeared off exit 127!

NO THANK YOU!!

Sad News and Blessings

We have been on vacation having a fantastic time, but when we arrived home we learned our friends Joseph and Kristy lost their home in the Waldo Canyon fire. I have not talked with them but I am sure they are heartbroken. We will continue to pray for them to have strength during this time of rebuilding. I know that Kristy has a fantastic attitude and I am sure she is saying she wanted to re-model anyway. Praise the Lord our friends Dustin, Kaci, Charles and Emma are safe and back in their homes. A lot of re-building is ahead for so many folks in the Colorado Springs area. We have a fantastic community that will surely bring lots of support to these families. Thanks to all my family and friends that have been praying for our friends.
