Cave of the Winds

We had a great time at Cave of the Winds today. I read all the reviews and they were not so good. I am glad we went despite the reviews because we had a great time! The beauty of the caves and outside views were just stunning. The kids loved every second climbing all the stairs and narrow passages. We were with a small group of ten people so we felt like we were in a adventure all alone! We can't wait to go back when the kids are older and do the lantern tour. After exploring we went and had some chowder and warm drinks at one if our favorite places in Manitou. It was chilly but we sat outside and enjoyed the fall leaves and small brook one last time this year.

Don't tell Starbucks I am having an affair

My Peep

Willie is my friend at night. He and I are nocturnal together. I don't know why this is but he reminds of a chicken nugget!

Guess What I'm Doing??

Not hard right? I am wide awake again but tonight I am working on the kids musical. I am really excited and really nervous because in all honesty I don't want to let anyone down. Any way I think I have the choreography down and I announced all the lead solos last week. My friend Jen is on vacation and I am excited for her to come back and see all the work the kiddos gave done.

Last night I was super productive while I was awake I rearranged our pantry! And removed the rug under the dining room table and then dyed my hair! I am now a brunette! Gary really wants me to take a pill already! :)

Funny thing is that I am really not tired during the day. I do get run down at about two but with work and kids there is just no time for me to stop. I won't lie I do question my fatness considering I am on the go all the time. My friend Hulina says its because I drink my calories. She is right, but God help the world with out my personality in a cup!!!

Sleep will come until then I have plenty to keep me busy!
Good night friends!

Dumb Peyton Manning

Dumb Peyton made me use my unholy game language! My good thoughts of Elway have diminished and his legacy will be this mess! No more "this ones for John."
However as always it was nice to see Tom :)

Any One Awake Out There?

Lets see I have prayed, taken a hot bath, listened to worship music, prayed some more.....put away laundry and I still can't sleep. I am beginning to think this sleep thing is the cause of my headaches, hearing, stomach and weight issues. It's still early but I don't usually fall asleep until threeish.... So now I am kind of board! I don't sing again until the end of the month so I don't have to rehearse and my house is spotless. Hummmmmmmmm.... I wish someone was awake that would talk to me. Now I am totally rambling:)

PSA16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

At least I have hope!! :)

See Peyton Manning

What happens when you read my blog! There is nothing I like to hear more than my Broncos beating the Raiders! You are slowly redeeming yourself Peyton. Slowly!

They Always Find Snakes

Pinecones

Before leaving the lake we collected a ton of pine cones for Christmas decorating!

Hiking Away

We have been enjoying our family time on Sundays since we have started back to church on Saturday evenings. Today we went hiking. I adore the passion Lilly and Owen have for exploring the mud and water and just being outside all day! This earth is just so amazing. Such a blessing to see these kids grow and find God in everything!
I am so thankful to be sitting outside in the warm sunshine watching my kids run and play. The Lord is just so good!

I have issues!

I have a seriousness problem sleeping. I just don't sleep. I am so tired that I flat out cant sleep. It's not normal. I actually took a sleeping pill and a Benadryl at five before leaving work. And here I am at ten at night wide awake, looking super cute with no makeup I might add! :)
Any who this is my vent post... Please pray for me to sleep, please!!! Gary is tired of me calling him all night.

Holy Hail

We had a storm, this hail not snow!

Preppers

My mom and I are fascinated with people who are preppers. Just in case you don't know what a prepper is they are groups of people that are preparing for the day the lights go out, literally. These people are ether brilliant or insane....Actually they are probably a little if both.
Any way my parents have a huge apple tree in their back yard. This tree has more apples than they know what to do with. Lilly has taken several to her school, I took a bag to work, my mom has made applesauce and I think we are getting appeled out!
Well today a lady stopped by my parents house asking if she could have some of the apples. She also told my folks she was a prepper! Even here In the suburbs people are preparing for the end.
Now don't get me wrong I believe in being prepared ... Hello Jesus!! I also am not stupid and to have things stored for emergencies, however not in a fanatic sort if way!

These are some pictures that I found of preppers stashes. There is even a show I found on net flix!

Strong Words

DANG YOU Peyton
I have a feeling this is going to be a loooonnnnngggg football season.

My Star

Lilly is the class star this week. She got to bring home Leo the Lion. She also made a tee shirt all about her friends and family. My picture printer was not behaving so I did not get to print pictures of everyone. :( but Lilly said she would be sure to talk about all her friends and family!

Love Teaching The Kids at Church
