Weekly Update

My parents made it to Texas.
They took a little time to get here and explore the land...But
As you know, my moms dad has gone to be with the Lord. This was a quick thing. He was told he had cancer and within less than a month he died.
I guess I put this next song on my play list 'cause I think alot of times we just feel at the end of our rope..nothing else we can do-or no more pain we can feel. This song reminds me of the great strengh I have within me to pull my chin up and face the rain.

My Grandpa Arena

My Grandpa died today-
This was the last time we saw my grandpa-
We took time to celebrate family and fun!
See you in heaven!

Fun in the Sun

Our friends have horses so yesterday we took a ride..Well the kids did..
Alexis a natural beauty even though she is a little scared.


Seth likes it for a mintue or two then hes ready to do something else..What a boy!


It is looking like Hope and Faith have a natural ability to ride horses..

Faith is already able to lead the horse by herself.


Yee Haw...I think Dylan likes it too...

First Day of School

Well Yesterday the first day of school arrived!
Here is Alexis in her pretty dress..She loves this dress, you can tell she feels pretty. Alexis thought the first day of school was boring and hope they do more..:) Don't think she'll have to wait long..She has a split teacher-Which means half the day she does Math, English the next half she does Reading and Social Studies with a diffrent teacher.

Here is Seth-Ready to go.. After school couldnt wait to tell me the details of a rewards program which they earn amounts of "money" when they behave- he wanted to tell me everything just right.

Faith-She wanted to show me all the pages of take home information..I needed to know what was important and what was not..

Daddy walked them to class and meet the teachers-

Well as for Hope she believes she is going to her own class-Kindergarden. We keep reminding her that it wont be for a few years, but I have set up a homework room and she will get to do school with mom. :)

Dylan is finding other projects to do

Hope Sings for you, ENJOY

Make sure to "Pause" the music on the side of my blog in order to hear her sing :)

Seth, Faith and I think Alexis

Yesterday-Monday we went to a Grief Camp. This is a place that kids go when they had abuse or other major home issues. Once a year the church puts on a "rodeo" theme night were they rope, barrel race, play flag football and hand out candy, rodeo tickets, watermellon, new hats, and ropes..It was a fun couple hours!

Ps..just for kicks I'll tell you..

Gas 3.58-3.61gal :)
