no book

Well I did try to read a book yesterday! I just had to much energy for that! So instead I watered the grass real good and pulled weeds in the flower beds. I will be planting new flowers soon and I cant wait to get started on that!

Last night we went and watched Amber danced. She did awesome. I am glad that she has found something to do!

Ryan has a game this morning. I love watching the little guys play ball. They play with so much heart and they are just out there having a good time.

We are suppose to have some friends over for dinner tonight. The last time I spoke with them, they had same nasty cold at their house. So I really hope that they do still come over.

Today I am going to watch Ryan's game and try to do some stuff around here. If the weather is nice I know that the sunshine will drag me outside! Maybe the sun shine will drag me to the store to start buying some flowers. LOL

I hope everyone has an  awesome day!

nice day

Well the is shinning and I am feeling so much better. I am looking around the house at everything that I should be doing.

I think I am just going to leave it. It will be there in a few hours. I am going to go take a book and go sit in the sun! Thats right everyone I am going to take some me time!

I will talk to everyone later on. I think everyone should go enjoy the sunshine!

still sick

My cold is still hanging on. I am going to beat this cold! I refuse to be sick. lol

Rusty is meeting with Ambers teachers this morning. I am telling everyone now that if you have a child going to school in California beware! The system sucks the older the children get. The high school exit exam is set at an 8th grade level and most of the children in high school can not pass it.

Tomorrow I am going to go shopping and start getting ready for the extra children. I do not usually have a lot of snack food, but I am going to stock up on it!

I am just so thrilled that our friend trust us enough to leave their children here and that we can spoil them and then send them home.

I have to work today so I should go finish getting ready and do some stuff around here.

I hope everyone has a great day!

full house

 

Our friend called us today and asked us to keep his children for 3 days. So we are. I must be crazy! There will be six children in the house! Let's see....15, 13, 11, 6 (twins), and a 5 year old.

I think it will be safe to say that I will be very busy, but that is o.k. because that is what friends are for.

Yesterday I started feeling really bad. I think I caught the cold that Rusty and nikki had. It sucks!

So I think I am going to go curl up with my knitting and do as little as I can.

ryans birthday

     Ryan's birthday was yesterday and he turned 11! For Ryans birthday we went down to base and played with the guns. The military has these new computer games where you can shoot the weapon at a screen. Let's see we shot an m16, a pistol, ma duce, and something else.

All of the children had a great time. I must say that I have new found respect for our service members who have to carry those weapons, because some of those weapons are heavy!

Ryans favorite one to shot was the m16, Nikki and Amber liked the pistols, and liked the ma duce.

Ryan wore his cammies down to base so one of our friends promoted him to major. Ryan is so proud of his major leaves.

I am so starting to get a cold. I can feel it in my chest and in my ears. This crazy weather is starting to really get to me. I cannot afford to be sick right now.

Now I must go clean up from yesterday.

so blessed

I am just so glad that went to the spaghetti dinner fund raiser!

We spent the evening meeting some awesome people and meeting the other children that are going on this mission trip.

These children are so awesome. They did an awesome job last night as well.

As I was sitting there listening to a Jazz group play a few songs, I thought " man what a talented group of young people! These are the kind of people I want my children hanging out with" Then it hit me.... these are the type of people that the girls are hanging out with.

I will never again complain about running them around or about spending so much time with the youth group. At least the girls are hanging out with people who have character, and they are not in a gang running the streets. For that I am truly blessed!

I have no idea what I am doing up so early. I got to bed late last night, and I know that I will be working late to night. Oh well.

I am going to go work on knitting another scarf.

busy day

While I would love to be soaking in a nice bubble bath and just relaxing, I am instead running children all around.

This Morning Ryan had his first baseball game of the spring season. I am so happy that we have the challenged league! All of the children have some type of disability, so they are all equal.

Then Nikki had to be up at the church early so that she could help set up for the spaghetti dinner/ fundraiser they are having tonight.

I will have to run Amber up there in a little while so that she can help do some other stuff. Then we are off to go have dinner.

I am so glad that the youth group is doing a lot of fundraiser to help pay for this trip!

Anyway I need to get moving and get some stuff done around here before we have to go have dinner.
