So Excited


Sink and mirror beside bathroom.
Bathroom. I love the tub for Brooke. PERFECT
I love the kitchen.
Full Bed with a Twin on top.
This closet don't look that big, but it is a pretty good size. I can hang our clothes in this and have plenty of room left for storage.
Couch that lets out to be a bed.
Kitchen. The back door goes to the bathroom. I love the refrigerator and freezer. That will come in very handy.


I am excited that we was able to get a new camper. Well it is not new, but it is new to us. We loved our pop up, but we really wanted something that we did not have to pop up. We like this because when we are traveling we can just pull over to a rest area and eat or sleep for a bit without having to pop the whole camper up. We bought this from a couple. They had bought it last year and decided they wanted a different one. We got it for a VERY good price. I am so excited to have it. I think we are really going to enjoy it. It will be nice to be able to leave all my camping stuff in it. It also has a nice canopy, but I did not take a picture of that yet.
My girls love it. They think it is a playhouse. LOL
Just wanted to share my excitement with you guys.

Fall Creek Falls

My Two Little Darlings.
One of the water falls. I thought it was beautiful.
BEAUTIFUL

Another Water Fall. This one was pretty also.
Courtney looking down at the water fall.
Cheyenne, Ashley, Lexi, and Kori. I hope I spelled their names correct.
Doug and Nancy better watch out with Kori. She looks like a little model in this picture. All the girls are pretty I think.
Brooke is freezing in this picture.

I loved this picture. The rain was pouring and the thunder was so loud. Brooke was asleep, but she had her fingers in her ears from all the noise. I thought it was funny.

Here is some pictures that I took when we went camping. I wish we could have stayed all week and enjoyed the beauty of the park, but the rain and storms ran us away.

Bad Camping Weather




We left to go camping yesterday. Our plans was to stay three nights. We only got to stay one. Last night it started to rain. We woke this morning with terrible rain and lightening. I was a little scared when I felt our camper moving. It did not really move, but it sure felt like it. We heard that it was suppose to rain 70% today and like 90% tomorrow. We also heard that some severe weather was suppose to happen tonight. We was camping with five familys and we all thought it was best to leave. Nancy and Doug went camping for the first time. I hope they don't let this discourage them from going again. Camping is really fun, but not when it is raining and stormy. The rain stopped enough for us to see a few of the waterfalls.
We are back home now with to much food to eat. My family has some great camping buddies that always pitch in and cook together. We are going to their house tomorrow night to grill some of the chicken we had bought for the trip. Everybody was sad that we had to leave. Fall Creek Falls is a BEAUTIFUL place. I felt really sad to not get to be there and enjoy the beauty of the park, but we will go back another day. The next time we will check the weather really well.

Happy Girl

My precious girl really loves to sing. She has a few songs here that is really sweet. I hope you enjoy!!!

Watch Out Taylor Swift

Brooke was in a singing mood. She kept getting distracted, because Courtney's poster kept falling down. You can hear it fall and then Brooke says. "Uh Oh"
If you don't know this song then you might not can understand her.

Proud Moment

I had to take a moment to say I am proud of myself. I have lost a total of 15.2 pounds. It feels great to feel great again. I hope I don't mess up this week. We are leaving Wed. to go camping with friends. I tried to plan our meals to be good for me. I also know there will be many tempting desserts there. My friend is fixing chocolate chip cookies, and Oatmeal. Oh my mouth is watering now just thinking about it. Maybe I can walk or do some extra hiking to keep the weight off. I can still have a cookie, but not many.
Oreo's is one of favorite cookies. I can eat tons of them. I love to dip them in milk. I have made myself not buy them for like 7 weeks now. The girls wanted some the other day and I thought it was not fair to keep those yummy cookies from them.
My mouth was watering as they ate their cookies. I looked up the points for the cookies and found that two cookies was 3 points. I was not sure I could stop with two cookies, but guess what? I did. I was so proud that I only ate the two, when I really felt like eating about 6 or more. LOL
Anyway I had to take a brag moment for me. I might not report in next week. After this week, I might gain some back. I am going to try very hard not to.

Better Late than Never




Erica, Alicyn, Haley, Lauren, and Courtney



Make a Wish
Happy Birthday Courtney
Courtney had a really nice birthday. She has many many friends that she wanted to come over for her special day, but I told her only four. There is about 14 girls from church that are close in age. I have had them all at our house before, and I just did not feel I could handle 14 of them spending the night. She picked out 4 and really wanted more, but I had to just say no. I know I am a mean mom. The girls had fun. They came over and we went to my parents for hot dogs and cake. The girls then hunted Easter Eggs. My dad hooked his trailer up and took the girls for a ride on some trails that night. I went with them and they got scared. My dad had one of his friends lined up to scare the girls. We went by this deer stand and my dad's friend was there hid. The friend and his wife had a white sheet that they rigged to fly. Then they had chains to rattle in this old building. Even though they got scared and two cried they had fun. The girls then came to our house and spent the night.

Friends

Thinking
Brooke is still thinking.

These are some pictures of when Annie stayed at our house. I have tons more, but Brooke had a runny nose and I did not realize when I was taking the pictures that she needed her nose wiped. She is still cute with a dirty nose, but did not think you all would want to see it.

Happy Birthday


Happy Birthday Bro. Cornwell. We love and appreciate you. You and your wife have been a great encouragement to our congregation.

I am so thankful for our pastor and his wife. Bro. Cornwell loves his people and he has so much compassion for them. My children adore Bro. Cornwell. In fact most children do. Bro. Cornwell always takes time for the little children. Before he was our pastor I was always impressed at the love he had for the children. He always has took time to speak to them, and he always knew their names. Nothing has changed since he has became our pastor. He still takes time for the children. We have tons of children in our congregation. There is always new babies being born. Bro. Cornwell can always remember their names. It is so amazing. I can't even keep up with all the little children's names. Bro. Cornwell reminds me of Jesus. Before he became our pastor, I thought that many times. Now that he is our pastor I can see that even more. I am truly amazed at how God has helped him and our congregation. Our former pastor retired about three years ago. We still love and miss him. God has been so good to us, by blessing us with a good pastor and pastor's wife. God is still doing GREAT things for our congregation and I feel truly blessed.

I just want to take this day wish Bro. Cornwell a Happy Birthday.
