Coughs

M2 had a cough this week and a cold but seems to be coming through well. M1 is now dry coughing with a little fever...his turn I guess. I am worried about him though. It makes me irritable and snappy too. W was a turkey with school work and ineligible to play this week. A bummer for us too, we love to watch him play. Hope this lesson will remind him to stay on top of it since he missed playing this week.

So thankful mom and Ed got home safely, and hope they had a great trip. Also,so happy Rusty made it back home to them! I know they would have been heart broken. We are all super excited to see them next weekend!

Tried to call my bro today. We will try again tomorrow. He has been on my mind a lot lately and miss him terribly. Love ya, Jose!

Praying for a lot of people right now. This has been a hard week it seems for everyone. The devil is so persistent to get a hold of us and throw these boulders in our way. We all need to remember our own perseverance for the Lord will always triumph, and to give it all to Him, that can turn the boulders into pebbles. Sometimes I have to say it out loud, "Lord, I give this all to you. I trust in you. I have no use for the worry or negative thrown at us. I know that my family and i are in no better hands than yours."


I pray you have a wonderful and blessed week ahead!

Leaf Peepers

Sorry it has been a month and a half since a post. September just ran away from us!

The traffic has been crazy up here with 'leaf peepers' checking out the changing aspens as this is supposed to be the peak weekend. They are beautiful!! E got an award a couple of weeks ago for having a great attitude in school. C had a blast going to the Peak. The team won Homecoming!!! YEA!!! They did a great job!! W went to the dance last night, but didn't stay the whole time. Some of his buddies made him dance a slow dance with this girl so he actually danced!!! A first I'm pretty sure!! S and C are doing a singing club at school and get to sing at the tree lighting. They are pretty excited about that. J has a concert next month and got his dress clothes today. He looks pretty sharp. I got to help with the pre-game meal and decorate last Friday. It was nice to meet some other team parents. M & M like school and still go pretty great (Thank you Lord!!). We were able to get a scholarship for one so that helps a lot! S is doing an astronomy club and C is in student council. E is doing a choir club, a school news show, and possibly drama club. T has another part time job. We haven't talked to him a whole lot, but hopefully soon. They are all busy but enjoy it! I'm so proud of all of them! Mike is still looking for funding for this franchise so we will keep praying if this is what he needs to be doing and if not point him in the right direction. Please pray for him too.

I think we found a church!! Thank you , Lord!! E and I went today and it seems really laid back and quite welcoming. God has blessed us so abundantly!! We are truly thankful every moment! His creation is so beautiful this time of year and I will post pictures of it soon. The rain is in the air, the leaves are turning, Halloween, Thanksgiving;  this is my favorite time of year!!

Give thanks in abundance and may you be blessed abundantly!!
