Saturday, woke up and then went to a bomb Easter egg hunt at our church, came home, finished up cleaning, dyed eggs, then on Sunday, got up, got the kids and my self ready for church get into the car and it wouldn't start. thank God for good neighbors, went to church, watched baptisms, came home and had family over for Easter. yeah, iam kinda glad its over

Good times

well we are pretty much unpacked from our trip from Holister, ( thanks to my hubby). we had sooo much fun. Carlee rode a dirt bike for the first time and did great, now she wants one. She was able to bring a little friend with her so i think she really enjoyed that. bridgitte rode a 90 for first time and had a blast on it, that girl has NO fear at all. Ty had fun to, he rode the quads somewhat, but spent most of his time turning his bike into a "dirt bike". here are some pics







here is a view from our window



yes, those are pigs. they came into our camp ground evernight looking for the goods. they fisrt night they got the butts milk, chad and crystals potaotes, and some drinks. dang things...

great book

so me and my girl friend are reading this amazing book called "Becoming a vessel God can use. it is sooo good. the author quoted the following from Barbara Johnston

There is no oil without squeezing the olives
no wine without pressing the grapes,
no fragrance without crushing the flowers,
and no real joy without sorrow.


TRUE THAT


I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to take there faith a step further and to be challenged a bit

our yard sale

we had a yard sale this morning ( because we had nothing else better to do) and it went pretty good. thanks babe for waking up and getting everything out and ready. now we have some extra cash for those outlets Keir and i are going to hit up ;)

the good news,the sad news, the bad news and the good news

well lets start off with the good or should i say great news... GOD will always be GOD and he is good.

now to the sad news. we have to say goodbye to our little Brianna. apparently miss Bs fathers parents have been trying to get her since day one and the paper work has been sitting on the county's desk until now. i had a chance to meet them on Friday. they seemed like pretty good people. i was such a mess though. i was sitting in the room and i knew when i saw them that they were Briannas family, so i asked them if they were here for her case and they said yes, so i should them some pictures on my cell and i lost it.... i felt soooo silly. at this time we don't know how much time we have with her, but we will continue to enjoy every minute that we do have with her.

so now for the bad news.... i started smoking again....... enough said


now its time for the goodnews... we are leaving tomorrow for our Easter break vacation. yay. it will be the butt's, the smiths, chad and crystal, and then another group. ill post lots of pics, and begin to plan how iam going to lose all the weight i will gain up there. For some reason we eat better when we are camping, than when we are home.
