Somethin' fishy...!!

Jason and Jeff went fishing last evening, and both made a catch or two. Jas snapped a photo of the ones Jeff caught, so there was proof for the fishin stories yet to be told...!


Jason and I spent the weekend pulling weeds, mowing the lawn, trimming trees, fixing gutters, and hauling rubbish to the dump. Our yard is shaping up quite nicely!! We've got some weeds coming up in our new grass, but we purchased the spray we need to help with that this weekend, too.

Beck & Jeff took the kids Friday through Sunday, and they had a good time hanging out with their "god-cousins". They went to Soldier Creek, the pool, a birthday party, and had lots and lots of fun. So much fun that when Beck brought them back, they merely walked in the house and went to bed!! It was early evening!! They were literally worn out!

Last Thursday, we took the opportunity to take the kids to the movies, too. We typically don't do that very often, because we can BUY the movie when it comes out on video cheaper than we can all get in to SEE the movie, and when we buy it we can watch it whenver we WANT! But Shelby had a friend sleeping over, and Andrew (Jason's cousin) was here for about a week, and we treated him to a movie, too. The boys went to Transformers 2 and the girls went to Imagine That. Both good movies!!

I can't wait for the new Ice Age movie to come out. We've thouroughly enjoyed each of the last two, and we can't wait to get to see this one! There are some games on the website for Ice Age (click above) to play for the kids. Some are a little more difficult, but Spence has had fun playing them!
See you at the softball fields!! Have a great day!
Also -- a note -- please bear with me -- I'm trying to catch up on all your blogs. I have had very little computer time this past week or two, so I need to catch up. I will get to it -- call me if there's anything pressing I need to know!!

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...
