Campin' in Our Own Backyard..or is it Forest?

The girls decided to camp in our backyard for a couple nights. So fun! We have the forest and an indoor potty...what more could they want?

We are in our season of late afternoon showers so they were even prepared for the rain. You Go Girl! Keepers of the Home and Camp paid off.


Good Morning Sunshine!

Ok, so Charley Girl guarded them all morning and whined to join them in the tent when she heard them wake up. Her electric fence prohibited her from crossing over to them. She is such a good watch dog. Yah!

Cherries! Cherries! Cherries!

We have Cherries! Our tree is full and ready to be picked. Yah!!! Today I made an apple-cherry crisp. YUMMY!

Desperation Conference..Jesus is Awesome!

Last night was so AMAZING! I love seeing young people excited about Jesus! Dancing, singing, praying, yielding. Thank you Lord for a generation seeking You. David Perkins gave a great teaching on the Awesomeness of Jesus. With a Capital A..Awesome.

Gabe works for the lighting dept. at New Life, more specifically for my brother. It was really great to see all the hard work and long hours this week in action. He has learned so much from my brother.

Today (and tonight) is another great day for the Desperation Conference ... Matt Redman is on tonight and today the girls are going to a teaching on being an Authentic Christian in High School.

All ya'll need to send your kids here next summer... ok not all of you.. just as many as I can house!

A Giraffe Says?

The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is a must if you come to the Springs! We saw so many great exhibits, exercised from the hill climbing, and enjoyed a day away.

So when Corrine said she could tie her cherry stem in a knot in her mouth..the competition started. She was the best at it after much effort on the other girls part. I never knew it was even possible!

This baby Wallaby was adorable! The girls all took turns petting her. We thought about bringing her home..but not!

Check out the souvenir of the day! Mood Animal Rings all around.

Becca had this Utility Knife from T tucked in her purse. Never knew my daughter carried such a gizmo with her??!! So glad she did, I forgot to bring a knife to cut the sandwich. Go Bec!
