Jobs

So yet again my boss has cut my hours. I am currently looking for a new job. I cannot stay here any longer. If anyone knows of bookkeeping, accounting, human resources jobs let me know. Cory is looking for work as well. Please keep us both in your prayers if you would. Thanks!

Buckskin Joes

Labor day weekend our girlscout troop went to Canon City for one night. We had a great time. My GPS (courtesy of Sprint) sent us on a bit of a wrong road, but is was beautiful country and a nice drive. We went to Buckskin Joes and experience it all, as it was almost the last weekend they were open. The girls had a great time together. We took one picture as a whole troop, Enjoy! I cannot seem to figure out how to get the picture at the end of the post.

Girls Weekend

Last year at my birthday bash, we decided to do something once a year. Especially since this year is Aunt Karen's 70th birthday. It was a busy year since Janell had her first baby and Heidi is out of the country in Singapore. In the end, Heidi couldn't make it to the states and we missed her a great deal. We had the girls weekend here in Colorado. We were able to do quite a bit while they were here. I had to work, so it made it a little difficult, but we managed to still have a fantastic time. Here are some of the pictures. Look for next years girls weekend I hope out east!

Behind

I love reading everyone elses blogs, so I know what is going on in their lives. I myself am very behind in the blog. I kept wanting to catch up, but it wont happen so here I start anew. Raeann turned 18 yesterday. It is so weird to be the mom of two adult children. It goes so fast. How lucky I am to have such great kiddos. Cory is still in South Dakota hoping for an extension in the Job Corps to get further educated. Amanda is enjoying high school. I am working, not too many changes :)

Happy Birthday

to me..... I celebrated my 40th birthday last Thursday. It was a great day, not only did I take care of myself, but many friends and family made it a great day. My sisters planned a great trip to Portland a few weeks ago and as you all know that was a blast! My Visiting Teachers brought flowers and chocolate yumm!! My girls scouts brought me flowers, balloons, cake and lots of fun! I had lots of calls and well wishes on facebook too! I had crab for dinner. What a nice day it was :)

Bye Bye Birdie

As most of you know, my girls are drama queens! They love Drama. The community in which they go to school (the Brighton/ Commerce city area) has a group that does several musicals a year for both kids and adults. So we figured this would be another opportunity for them to participate and they tried out on Wednesday. Thursday were call backs for both of them. Friday we found out who made it into what roll. Raeann will be playing Mrs. Doris Macafee, and Amanda will be playing Ursula Merkle. I think it is funny that Amanda's character has a surname that is really a part of her ancestry. The girls are thrilled to have a part. For everyone else, your preparation is to set aside July 10, 11, 17 or 18. It will be a great show the cast is awesome and the director couldn't be better!

Bragging rights

Amanda has recently written a poem for New Beginnings that I want to share with every. Enjoy!

We welcome the sun
with a warm hug.

We welcome the moon
just like a new bloom.

Like the stars up above
we shine bright.

But now we have new stars
to welcome and help shine.

Bow your head,
and close your eyes,
and ask Christ to light he night
and help us shine bright.

There are so many
searching for your light.
