Please help us Pray

Please pray for Jordan and his unit who are serving in Iraq.  Jordan is married to my very special friend, Jessika.  I have known Jessika and her family since she was 6 months old.  We have been friends since we all went to the same church in Southern CA and now we all live in Colorado.  

Below is a picture of friends from our church.  Jacob is a friend of Ethan's, he will be 8 years old in June.  Jacob was diagnosed with leukemia, Acute Lymphomic Leukemia (I think that is it) 2 weeks ago.  This is a picture taken when Jacob was in the hospital.  He is home now and doing good.  Jake has had 2 weeks of chemo and is tolerating it well.  Please pray for him during his treatment that he will have little or no side effects.  
Thank you for praying for these special people.

Busy day! Field day / Swim team / Band concert

Today, May 12th was Field day at the school for the 3rd - 5th graders.  What a great day weather wise it was.  It was in the 70's and the sun was shining......The kids had a lot of fun participating in hurdels, an obstacle course, 50 yard dash, Fort Knox, Fun Run, Frisbee golf and others.  

It was a pretty long day, after field day, the kids had their first day of Swim team.  The weather had changed and a storm started to blow in, so they didn't get in the water.  It was good to see old friends and our great coaches.  After that we left to go back to the school for the Band concert.  The kids did a really good job.   It was really nice..

Ethan's birthday party (sorry it is out of order)

We had a house full of boys for a Wii playing sleep over.  The boys played Wii for hours, they were so good at taking turns, encouraging each other and playing fair.  It was really awesome to see.  They had pizza, chips and cupcakes.  Finally it was time for bed and we got the boys all settled down and ready to sleep.  They did pretty good and went to sleep.  

I think everyone had a good time.

Mother's Day

Well, we had such a beautiful day on Mother's Day.  The weather was amazing!  We went to church, the kids went on a bike ride with our friends the Grunden's and then we barbequed with them for dinner.  What a wonderful day it was!

I hope that all my amazing friends who are moms had a great day!

Way to long!

Ok, it has been way to long since I have posted to my blog and boy have we been busy.

The last week of March, we went to California and saw some of my family.  It was such a fun trip!  We drove to Southern CA and then we hit the ground running.  We went to the Cabrillo Beach Aquarium and learned about grunnion, then at 10pm we went out to the beach to see the grunnion run.  They come up on the beach, during a full moon and lay their eggs, it is really cool.  We went to some amazing tide pools in San Pedro.  We drove over Portuguese bend.  We went to Pointe Vincente to go whale watching and have a picnic.  We went to the movies to see Horton Hears a Who.  We went to the Griffith Park Observatory and looked through the telescopes and saw Mars and Saturn.  We went on a whale watching boat (unfortunately we didn't see any whales, but we had a blast!).  Then it was time to go home.  We had a BLAST!  The kids learned a lot of things and had so much fun doing it.
