Grass!

Do you ever miss getting diry and sweaty doing manuel labor? Well today I got a good dose of fun helping my parents put in their sod. Shad, Lilly, Judah and I spent the day helping my mom and Dad get a small lawn going at thier house. My Dad and Shad did most of the work, but I still managed to get covered in a layer of dirt and sweat as the temp was around 95. But because of the cloud cover and breeze it made it somewhat bearable and toward the afternoon it cooled down to 80. The kids absolutely love it and had a great time running and playing on it when they woke up from their naps. I love the smell of grass and fresh dirt. Maybe because when I was a kid, my job was to mow the lawn. And my little sis and I had our patch of earth that we were given to plant whatever flower we wanted, and take care of the pesky weeds. So fun, such neat memories.
"The grass whithers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever." Isaiah 40:8

Feeling Challenged...

So, I just saw that there were two comments and I had not even noticed! I am still figuring out how this blog thing works! Sorry guys. Thank's for the notes.
Summer has officially ended in "Youth Land" (code for Junior High and High School). But this heat is enough to make you crazy! I am looking forward to this fall with the kids, mine and the JH/HS. I feel like I am getting close to having a better feel for my involvement and hoping to do more now that my kids are a little older. It just takes a little more planning ahead, which I am not doing so well at lately. My friends and family are gracious to me in this area. I am looking to the Lord to order my days and know that if I keep my heart in the right place, He will be able to mold and make what He wants me to be and do.
I have enjoyed so much looking at my friend's blog's. Looking at and reading a day in Africa with the Stauffacher's and even just life here in Lakeside with the Willis's and Griehaber's. The girls are beautiful. Keep posting yah'all! I will try to do better. I am waiting to get some more pics put on that are more recent.
P.S. I am not a great speller, so all you mommy's working on spelling and grammer with your kids, just over look my errors please!:)

Old pics

Just thought I would put up a few old pics since I haven't downloaded the recent ones from the camera...Beach day with Junior Highers and 1st Disneyland trip November 2006.

Getting Started

So here it is! The first of many I hope. Don't have time to put much up in the way of pics right now. Just want to see what it looks like....
