Lads to Leaders

Well, we have finally completed lads to leaders, It was great, tiring, but great! Bailey's puppet team got 2nd place, Bailey and Elaina both got Good Samaritan awards and Bailey got a trophy for GUARD and Elaina got one for Centurian of Scripture (she had to memorize 100 bible verses over a period of a few months) so it all went well. Bailey competed in Speech and Elaina in Song Leading but they didn't place in those categories. I am just proud of them for trying and for learning. It was fun, I had Elaina, Lexi Campbell and Sarah Grace Trimble to keep up with all weekend and of course Braden so it was a challenge to say the least. We had a fun Easter at Dale's parents house and Braden got a new bike for his birthday that he really loves so it was a good weeknd. I will post some pics so you can see.... Bailey had Jacob Campbell spend the night last night and I heard them still playing football on the XBox 360 at 4 this morning needless to say they are still asleep. Well Take Care and we hope to see you all soon!

I am back......

Well, it seems like I have been gone forever from the blogging world but I am back.... Wow where do I start? Bailey is going to CA now! Yeah!!! He is doing well and loves it there! Elaina is doing great, she is an awesome big sister. Braden will be 3 on Sunday! Hard to beleive that the time has flown by so quickly! Dale is doing fine, he is still building houses. I am staying home most of the time right now so Braden can play in the dirt, his favorite past time. We are selling the boat, I am soooo sad! We need everyone to pray that the housing market picks up soon. Spring has finally arrived so that should help. We are gearing up for Lads to Leaders this weekend, Bailey and Elaina are both doing puppets and Bailey is doing speech and Elaina is doing song leading. I am chaperoning 3 girls, so it should be fun. Church is going great! We have about 275 to 300 on Sundays now! Wow is it growing. Andy and Jennifer are just awesome, they have been a true blessing for my kids and all the kids. I have a facebook page now because Bailey is 13 and if he is going to have one so am I. That is about all the new information I have for now, I will post after lads when I am rested.
