Music in my heart!!!

This weekend was Music Sunday at our church, as well as Shelby's TrebleMakers' Choir concert. Our handbell choir played several selections, our vocal choir sang quite a few numbers, and our praise team (more contemporary band playing our favorite christian music during church) did a few numbers too. It was great.

After church, we went home and ate a quick lunch, and ran down to the Arts Center to get ready for Shelby's concert. At this concert, we had the CSC girls choir, "Arioso", the Adult Community Choir, and The TrebleMakers Children's Choir-- it was fabulous!

I got a few pictures, but had a hard time getting any good ones -- this event was well attended!! You will notice that Shelby couldn't stand still... she had a similar issue at her school concert... lol :0) Shelby and her friend Abby before the performance

Small group singers (notice Shelby in the background...)

Shelby and her small group of singers... she had a part to sing with these kids during the song we all grew up with in sunday school... "This Little Light of Mine". How CUTE!

Haley and Alexis being patient, waiting for the concert to get going again (while they changed groups)

Spence really wasn't into the concert... I asked him if he was enjoying the music, and he looked at me and said, "Huh-uh." I assumed that wasn't a good time to ask him if he wanted to participate in this children's choir next year...

...In Other News...

Mom and Dad gave us their basketball hoop from the plant, and the kids have been playing outside as much as they could. We were so relieved to see the sun Sunday morning... the rain was wonderful, but it took some of us a minute to figure out what that yellow circle was way up in the sky!

Once we figured the sun was going to stay out for a while, we decided to launch Spencer's rocket he got for Easter. It was great -- and I think we may have started something with this kid and rockets...! Here are a few photos I took of the exciting countdown and the long awaited event!

Setting up...



Just a goober photo...

A successful launch!!! (And recovery, so we can do it again!)



Just a typical Monday here other than that... people are starting to get bit by the spring bug and get some concrete and rock projects going, so business is back in full swing!!

Hope you all had a good weekend, and enjoy the sunshine this week!

A couple of quick prayer requests: My Uncle Jerry's first wife (thus my cousins' Mom) passed away this past week. Please include her and the family in your prayers.

Also, Grandpa Clay needs prayers too... he's rapidly losing weight and is having some issues with eating. Doctor appointments to come should reveal the source of the problem, but pray for him, if you will!

Thanks!

Really not much going on here today. I've been studying like a mad man, it's cold here, kids are busy, same old same old. I did find out yesterday my Aunt Marlene (Mom's sister) has non-Hodgkins lymphoma. She is doing some chemo treatments in the next couple weeks, and we'll see where it goes from there -- please keep her in your prayers. I also need prayers for my friends still struggling financially. Times are tough, and we all have to make sacrifices we typically wouldn't, but hang in there -- it will all be worth it in the end. One resource I can recommend on money expertise is DaveRamsey.com -- he's the guy responsible for the Financial Peace University that Jason and I took a couple of years ago. We wouldn't be where we are today if we hadn't taken advantage of that valuable resource. There is a link on the right side of my blog to his website -- check it out. I'd also be willing to talk to you about his information, too. Let me know! ...

Christmas Lists

I finally took a few moments and got the Christmas lists posted for our family!  I find it hard to believe we are at this point in the year already.  This has been a crazy year, full of roller-coaster emotions, such busy times, a few slow times, losses for some, gains for many, but it has been another year passed nonetheless. This year, we've seen many changes, and with each change, we learn a little bit more about who we are and what we're capable of. I'm going into this holiday season with a warm heart, and I hope you will too.  God has great things in store for all of us, and I can't wait to see each morning what He's prepared for me. Happy Holidays! Side note about the lists -- This is verbatim what the kids had on their lists, and I did not split the list between any of the family, so plan accordingly.  We won't be concerned about duplicates, as we enjoy shopping for ANY reason.  We're grateful for the thought you put into each gift, and are tha...

   This past weekend, we traveled to Deadwood with my “work family”, and had a great time. Some of the guys went golfing up near Sturgis (Boulder Canyon) during the morning, but most of us ladies had spent the morning checking out the sales in the citywide garage sales. We started off the trip by meeting together at the office and “caravan-ing” the ladies to the Prairie Berry Winery. With Jason’s back being injured recently, he wasn’t up for golf, so he decided to be our “DD”…          I had never been to a wine tasting, nor a winery, and never had been to Prairie Berry.  It snowed on us on the way up (see photo at right). What an enjoyable experience it was! We were allowed to try up to five wines, (only a half an ounce each), so I tried a variety, albeit most of them were the sweet wines. I am just not a fan of dry or bitter wines. I ended up purchasing some of their infamous “Red Ass Rhubarb” and some “Calamity Jan...
