One of my happy places. John ,the boys,and I love to kayak. I will post some pictures of the boys I couldn't find them for some reason. I dropped my computer a while back and had to get a new hard drive. So I am using John's pictures and trying to see if he put any of my pictures on his computer.

More of Michael's graduation

I forgot the video:) It took forever to upload the video. Is it that way for you? I will put another video on tomorrow. I am so proud of my baby!!!

Michael's Graduation

Yes, I am still alive:) Here are some pictures and a video from Michael's graduation.

When John and I were dating we worked at a Christian camp together in Michigan. He was a archery instructor and I was a counselor. The counselors got together and sang. This morning this song is playing in my head that we use to sing a lot:

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the holy one
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ His son
And now let the weak say I am strong
Let the poor say I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us
Give thanks
Give thanks
Happy Thanksgiving!

Teenagers!!!!

If you know my teenage boys you know which one this tee shirt belongs to. In the words of Darla "give me strength." When they were little and would not sleep at night I use to say God made them cute so you don't kill them. Now I say to them you are going to meet Jesus today if you keep it up. To which they reply in a smart tone that they already know Him. Why did I teach them how to talk!

John's money saving tip

We stayed home today from church so John could rest. He had yesterday off but spent most of the time fixing the hot tub. It is nice to have it up and working again. It has been a couple months since John has had a Sat. off. This morning while John and I were sitting on the porch drinking coffee Chris came out. I noticed that his pants are getting to short again. I told Chris we needed to get him new pants soon. John said we could do that or just get him better underwear:) This is John's money saving tip. Embrace the new style let your underwear show.
