Halloween 2009

Group shot of all the kids!

Cutest Skunk EVER and my sweet little Jaycie!

Most people didnt know who Coraline was but Remi was still really proud of her costume the boots were a pain in my side for the past 2 weeks! WHY dont stores sell yellow boots?? we finally ended up painting some red boots from Walmart to match..

WOW another super busy weekend! My caravan class went great on Friday, we are getting a grove with these kids! I am just so happy to be helping with this class, the kids learned about having a shield of armour for the Lord. Saturday was our fall festival it was the first year the Bridge did it and it was so so much FUN, I helped with the Womens ministry booth which was a bowling game, the day started off really windy, but it calmed down and was a success. Then I helped at the hamburger/hot dog stand, and then got to hang out a little bit with friends. Casey even got to work a booth all on his own I think he even enjoyed himself. My girls had so much fun! We ended the night at Jen's with taco salads and trick or treating. My sister and her family and my friends Amy and Miranda came too. This was definity a top 5 for us! We made it to church this morning, having an extra hour of sleep made it easier, the message was for me, it was about forgiveness and how it doesnt hurt anyone but you to hold grudges, it doesnot hurt the other person for you to be mad and upset, but it does you. If you want the Lord's forgiveness you have to give forgiveness. I am so grateful for my church. I am blessed everyday by the friends I have made at the Bridge.

anyway here is a few pics from the weekend. We have spirit week at school this week and I need to find Reagan some Pj's for tomorrow.. Bad mommy didnt buy her any :(

Great weekend!

Had a great weekend! Started my new caravan class at school. It is working with 1st and 2nd graders teaching them a Bible lesson then making a project finish with a snack. We will be earning badges and having lots of FUN!

Then went to a womens and teens event called revolvetour.com VERY FUN! It was like a Christian Concert for teens, Rainy had a BLAST 6,000 screaming teens! WOW my ears were ringing! then took Rainy to the gym to see the grils volleyball sleep over she wasnt able to stay since she wanted to get back to the Revolve concert, at 8 am. I had to go to Remi's last soccer game, and then was able to go back to the concert I had my moms and Daisy's tickets and was able to take Remi and Reagan, they were so schocked it was so much fun for me to take them to their first concert, and we got to go for FREE, the tickets were 54.00 a piece, but a church had ordered too many and gave our church 10 for free, we were so blessed being able to go, and I learned a few things too. I think Rainy got alot out of it too! I will be going to more of these things for sure! Today was a great service at church, then Laura and Jeremy and Jack able to come over and have tacos. Great weekend and I am ready to face a busy busy week ahead! Reagan biggest show of the year is sat. and we have 3 practices this week, Rainy has 2 games, I will only be able to go to Thursdays game but I look forward to seeing her play we worked on her serves today she needs to learn to take her aggression out on the ball. she just cannot seem to get it over the next. Ok need to get to bed, didnt get much cleaning done this weekend but have some GREAT memories and spent some family time with my girls!! OH almost forgot I was so hally to find some paper racks for $5.00, now I need to get my scrapping stuff organized. Will post pics as soon as I get it straightened up..

First time cutting fabric with the Cricut

just a easy layout of my little guy Jackson

Little Jaycie looking cute as always..

Got a chance to go to Jens to scrap this past weekend WOW I had a blast, and I got a few pages done. I get so much more done when I am not at home lol.. here is a few layouts I got done...

On another note it has been almost a month since I updated, it is end of the first quarter, kids did great in school well at least I know Remi and Reagan did, Reagan is struggling in her spelling, but has a good attitude and doesnt have any problems, I do need to make an eye appt. the teacher thinks she needs to be checked out her writing is consistantly above the line. anyway Remi has a 3.0 I do not expect her to keep that up but it sure feels good for now, she is really trying this year more so than in the past, she is becoming responsible. Rainy is doing really good too Ill post a picture from her Volleyball games, she has only played for about 3 mins combined but it is so exciting to see her out there trying, she is so supportinve of her team and just LOVES being there apart of something, I never could have done it when I was that age. She is a wonderful daughter I love her so much. OK enough mushy mom stuff.

My sister in law is coming back from Iraq Sat or Sunday so far we are not sure the plan has been changed but I have learned from the military things change all the time~ I get to take my nieces to pick her up and hopefully we can go to dinner or lunch and celebrate. She has been gone for 4 months. That is a long for a 7 and 9 year old. They are such strong kids, I am proud of how good they deal with the situations life has dealt them, I hope somehow all my time with them has helped make them into the young ladies they are growing into. I pray for them everyday several times, my heart is always with them.

Remembering 9/11

Here is a pic of the girls this morning, it was just a week before my niece was born.. We will never forget. The school asked all the kids to dress in patriotic colors.
