Enjoying warmer weather

The weather is beautiful and the kids are taking advantage of it!!!

Scapbooking Colorado Style!!!

Last weekend I got to go with a friend to a scrapbooking retreat. It was awesome! I got 63 pages done - amazing what you can do uninterrupted!!! Anyway - it was just great to hang out with 30 other women that love to crop and have fun too. However - as you can see from the picture - there is still a lot of snow in the higher places (where we had the retreat). The view was one big sheet of solid snow!!!!

Focus on Hannah

Hannah has worked really hard this year to maintain excellent grades and good behavior. As a reward for good behavior at school the kids got to go Cross Country Skiing. Hannah did great and enjoyed it. The other picture is of her reading project she did. She had to re-create a scene from her book - she worked hard and did this all herself. We were really proud of her.

Pictures

Well I have tried three times today to get the pictures uploaded and there is some error. Sorry - I will keep trying...

Youth Group Activities

Hey - wanted to share with you some pictures from February of our youth events. The youth hosted a Valentine's Banquet with the theme: Partners for Life. It was a ton of fun and the youth did a great job of decorating, serving, cleaning up, etc. The other event was our winter retreat at Hesperus Baptist Camp. We took 7 youth and had a GREAT time. The youth are all great kids and very teachable.

Mini Update

I am seriously hoping to update my pictures this week! No we aren't still buried in snow although there is still snow on the ground. Now we are entering into our "mud season" and it looks as though it will be a MESSY one with all the snow melting and all. However - we are thankful that we will not have to worry about drout this summer hopefully.

Things are going pretty well here. Joel is busy getting all the spring and summer youth events scheduled as well as gearing up for his first on-line course that will start March 17. I am busy with work, kids and church as well. I am enjoying getting involved in Women's Ministry since that is something some what new to me. The kids are all doing good - Hannah will compete in her Destination Imagination Competition this weekend. She is both excited and nervous. All the kids are building their Pine Wood Derby cars for the Awana race in a week.

So - that's all for now. I will try to get some pictures up tonight or maybe tomorrow.
