Happy Birthday to ME!!!!!!!!!

Well since I was out of town today, I have decided today is my birthday again. lol.

We took the youth to Denver yesterday. It was fun but we drove 4 hours to go spend 2 1/2 hours at the park, and then be stormed out. The plan was to be out of town by 8, well I forgot that with the Clangs coming meant that we of course would have a delay. We didn't get on the road until 9. And of course the delay included a stop at ...... Starbucks. Shocker!!

So we finally got their after stopping for lunch in Ft Morgan. Well when we got their we decided to go to the rides part first. So we split up-Joe, John and all the girls(the rollercoaster lovers) and Yvonne, me, JJ, and Derrick(the chickens), Yvonne and Derrick went on some rides, we walked around, caught a little bit of a dare devil type show, and then I decided I was finally getting one of those old fashion pictures I have wanted for years. So we call up John and get him to come join us so I can get a picture.

Then after doing that and spending about 20 minutes trying to locate the other group, we head over to the waterpart. The other group was already there(little stinkers) and so we set to getting dressed. As soon as I come out fo the dressing room, Derrick finds me and tells me they closed down all the waterpark and the rides, because of lightning. So we are trying to figure out what to do and are told that they will decide if they will open back up the water in about 15 minutes. So we decide to stay and wait until they decide what to do.

There wasn't anymore lightning until like right around the time they should be deciding what to do, so we all pack up and start the long trip back. We stopped and ate dinner at Memories in Ft Morgan, which was very good.

We are going to go to the water park in Grand Island before school starts to make up for us missing the water park in Denver. So that should be lots of fun, and is way less driving!!

Kiddie Parade

Yesterday was the local kiddie parade. JJ wore the indian outsit Alex wore when was that size. Alex was a cowboy and I quickly made an indian outfit for Bianca. It was a little small because I made it, without trying it on her and didn't have time to do another one. The looked really cute.

Of course it was in the 90 for the parade, we all were hot a sweaty. The babies slept most of the parade, which is like 10 minutes of actual parade after like 20 minutes of waiting for stuff to get started. Every year I wonder why I went through the trouble, but we all know, PICTURES!!








Then last night we went and watched Brad Stine. He was so funny. Of course Alex was being a pain and tired. And part of the night we sat by Bob, and for some reason when Alex is like that, he thinks it is so funny to pick on him. I was about ready to beat them both!!

Today I am going to try to get my front bedroom completely cleaned out and set up for our open house next week.

5 years and still going strong!!!

So much has happened since my last post. We went to Kansas City to visit John's sister and her family last week and it was great. We got prophecied over and man, did God have some words for us. We heard things that were so encouranging. It was amazing and really opened our eyes to issues in our lives.




We did so much in Kansas City and had lots of fun. Some of the highlights were rock wall climbing and going to the Incredi-bowl, which was incredibly expensive!!! But we had tons of fun. And we got family pictures taken at a rose park that was so breathe taking!!

Today is John and mine's 5 year anniversary. It is so wierd because in some ways it is like it was just yesterday that I became his wife and on the other hand it seems like we have been together forever. I still am totally crazy over him and am so grateful that God brought us together. That I never had to "play the field" trying to find the right man. That God brought him to me when I was only 13.

John bought me this gorgeous necklace for our anniversay. It has 2 red ruby heart stones set on a gold ribbon with a small diamond on it. It is so beautiful. I am such a lucky girl to have 3 handsome men in my life!!
