DARE


Today Josh graduated from the DARE program at school. Regardless of what the pictures say, you think I would have changed the date them from the last time this happened to me, WELL now I have, sorry the date is really 3/16/09. I am so proud of Josh, he read his essay, only 4 kids got to read them he got 3rd place and got a medal. I am greatful for the program and hope these kids learned how bad these things can be for you.





Josh's friends acting goofy, these kids do everything together.

Timeout

I had a great weekend this last weekend. A few of us got together and went to Denver for Timeout. I met some neat sisters and grew better relationships with the ones I knew. I am so greatful for Ed letting me go so that I may better myself, I feel so uplifted and wanting to be a better me. The theme this year is Sweet Assurance. They kept saying WHAT DO YOU KNOW!! It made me think about what I truely know about my life. I KNOW that I am a daughter of God, I KNOW that he loves me, I KNOW that life is hard, but that he is always there for me and wants me to be happy. I KNOW that my kids are a gift from God and that God trusts me with them and that is a sweet assurance that he loves me and trusts me. I KNOW that my parents love me. I KNOW that I love my children and that no matter what they do they are children of God and that I love them. I KNOW that Ed loves me and was put in my life to be my best friend and companion, that God knew me and what I needed and wanted even though I had no clue. I KNOW that I have friends that were put in my path for a reason and am so greatful for them, they bouy me up when I am down and make life good again. Just some of the things I was thinking about, I know that there is so much more that I KNOW, I am greatful for the talks that were given and the things that I learned.

Alycia's 5th birthday

Alycia had her 5th birthday, she wanted a pink cake so that is what she got. Zach was so fun eating and making a mess. He loved he cake, and then we had noachos and he dosen't dip the chips he uses his hands and scoops it out. What a fun day. Love the kids' excitment. Alycia wanted her room painted for her birthday so we painted it purple and yellow, and bought her a bookshelf. She loves that her room is not a bears and babyish anymore.
