heavenfest-header

Our 13 year old son became a part of the Youth Group for teens this year. He struggled with it at first and didn’t know if he wanted to go so he stayed downstairs with us all the time. A few months ago my cousins Jessi and Kellie were asked to be the youth leaders. This changed everything for Chris. He decided he would give it a try. He loves going and looks forward to it each and every Wednesday night.

This weekend (August 8th) the Youth Group took a trip to Brighton CO for Heavenfest. This event is for Christians from all over. There were 80+ artists on 8 stages, in 8 areas. Chris had a blast, he enjoyed the trip, he learned that God is awesome, and he even won a t-shirt and had a pro skater sign it.
They are on their way back now so I don’t have pictures yet, but I will share them soon. I will also have him tell me more about what he learned, what he saw, and what he liked about it.
Stay tuned… more to come soon!


new-truck-plateThis is a picture of our new license plates. As all of you know I have two boys. So my husband and I decided to get personalized plates for our truck. As you can tell from this picture our plates read 2 boys. We had to make a trip to Cheyenne to get the plates, but it was so fun and I couldn’t wait to get home and put them on.

I just love my boys and this is one more way for everyone to know!



josh-playing-connect-fourThis is a picture of Josh playing the game Connect Four. The funny thing about it is he used a stuffed Penguin as a leg for the game. LOL! I guess that’s one way to still play the game.



josh-piper-3-09This is Josh and our cat Piper. Josh was cold so Chris bundled him up and Piper came to investigate. Shortly after this photo was taken Josh fell asleep with Piper on the couch. It was adorable!



Basketball starts the week of February 2 for my youngest son and I think it starts the middle of February for my oldest. I can not wait. We purchased scrapbook stuff for basketball so we can put that together for our youngest. I made one for our oldest and gave it to him for Christmas. He just loved it. We bought a better camera right before Christmas so I can’t wait to use it.

Looking forward to watching my boy’s play basketball this year. It will be our youngest sons last year with the Boy’s and Girl’s Club. Next year he will be in 5th grade and will play for the school. I’m not sure what he will do with soccer since they don’t offer that in the school district. I guess we’ll see what happens. LOL



We woke up at 6:30 am this morning to our 12 year old crying. He heard something downstairs and came to see what it was. He didn’t turn the light on above the stairs and fell down them. His wrist was swollen and looked like it was starting to bruise. We took him to Urgent Care as soon as they opened and they said he sprained it. Thank goodness for that. We were really worried that he broke it.

He starts basketball in 4 weeks and this would have prevented him from playing or at least starting the season. Wouldn’t have been good, that’s for sure. He loves to play basketball and this would have devastated him.

So praise God he only sprained his wrist and has a brace for two weeks. :)
