BUSY BUSY BUSY

We have started v-ball, Girl scouts is off and running agian. Tristan had his first band concert. Basket ball is right around the corner. I must say that I Love it!! The kids are just growing up so fast. Here are some new pictures!!

Refreshing!!!

Okay I am going to vent a little just to pre warn everyone!! This weekend I turned the big 35!! This was the first time a birthday was hard for me. I am not sure why but it was but with the help of my sister Jeri and my sister Samantha and my hubby and kids and the many wonderful friends that I have I survived it. It has been a refreshing year for me. As the New year started I stopped and re evaluated the people in my life. I consider myself a very caring person always willing to help anyone that is in need. I see my blessing every day and it completes me to share that feeling with others. My first step was my family, I stopped and looked at the way they made me feel and when they called it always was because they needed me or to put others in the family down and for years I have cotributed to this by just helping them or listening. I handed them to God I told him of my hurt and my concerns and as hard as it was I walked away knowing that he is the only one that can touch them and there is no doubt in my mind that he will. It seems that instantly there was a large wieght off of me. One I never relized was there, for many years I held on to the hope that one day they would truely care, then it hit me I do not have that power only prayer can help them. I soon saw what a better mom I could be what a better wife and friend with out this wieght I was so much happier. I have made my peace with it and am truely happy. Recently my wonderful baby sister has begun to see the same issues I have and it breaks my heart. I know she will have to find her way I just know how hard it can be and I pray for her. There are always people that truely love you and there are people that just do not know how to love... they are not bad people... they are people who need your prayers but sadly that is all you can give them. It breaks my heart to see anyone hurting and I want to take it all away but all I am able to do is pray and listen.. I believe that bad things happen to everyone at some point in thier life I also believe that you can use these as an excuse or as a stepping stone to lift yourself up. I have choose to be a better person..

Love it

The Clock







God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you

NEED. To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you

into the person you were meant to be.

LOVE YOU!!!!!

My Little Girl!!

Well we have are last game this week and I still have not posted pictures. So I am finally going to do it! Of course I am mom but I think she is doing GREAT!!! We had a wonderful weekend of shopping, hanging with family,church, fishing and for me doing laundry:( but it always goes by so fast. Okay time to get the kids ready for bed! I will try to write more later.

Tristan first hunt!!

Well a few months ago Tristan declared he was ready to go hunting with us so Kenneth took him out to shoot the rifle. Tristan talked about it for weeks until it came time to do it. Kenneth gets everything ready Becca and I are standing to the side watching, Tristan pulls the trigger, we are so excited for him, it is such a big boy thing. He shot the gun one time looked at Dad and said "Never again" it kicked he was done!! Well he went out with dad to grandmas on Saturday and shot a squirrel. He was so excited!! Kenneth took him out to shot my 243 and he loved it!! So I am in the market for a new gun for me because he has set claim to my gun!! It amazes me to watch him grow up. I just will always see him as my little 2 lb baby So small and innocent. Where does the time go!! Rebecca is my busy one she wants to go every where and do every thing!! She keeps me busy and I don't see her ever slowing down. We are doing pitching machine right now. She is pretty good and loves it she is so much like her dad it scares me. The more Kenneth fuses at her the harder she works. Tristan is more like me it takes compliments to motivate him. If you fuss, he is done, he is not going to do it!! We have our last Girl Scout meeting of the year next week. Just in time for Vacation Bible school, Summer camps, slumber parties and anything else we can think of!! I am ready for summer I really enjoy my kids being with me. We really get to bond with each other during the summer! So until next week have a great weekend!
