Heatherbucks is ready...

The coffee... Err latte... is ready fir the trek tomorrow, yes I think
I will drink it all ;)

The posts start now...

Documentation of our small road trip to SD... First Sioux Falls the Rapid City! Taking pics and whatnot all the way!

Tomorrow we leave at dark thirty... So I will post pics then too... Gotta figure out how to mobile upload lol

I will try now... It will be a frazzled pic of me needed to get a ton done... Instead I am blogging.

Dedication!

I will admit...

I have fallen off the blog-wagon a bit... I attempt to re-board... and then fall off again. I think it has something to do with the fact that the computer is waaaay down stairs... and I am usually up stairs!

But, God has welcomed me to the next century with a new iPhone... which now means I can read blogs, post, check email, etc while waiting in line at Starbucks; Waiting in a traffic Jam; in dark places; at a friends house for the afternoon; and much, MUCH, much more!

So my confession... if you have a blog... I probably haven't read it in the last 2 months or more... Please don't unfollow me! I have a new application on my phone that shows them to me now and I can read them with ease! Ahhhhhhh!

I can't wait to catch up... I started already with a few of you... the rest of you... keep your knickers on, I am coming!

iPhone...

I got one... and I *heart* it!

That is all for tonight ;) Must sleep ;)

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10---how many?

We came home from Elitches tonight and had... more then a dozen moths flying around the house. Where on earth are they coming from? And who authorized this? Yuk!

We did have fun at Elitches... we made (forced) Toby to go on the Twister Rollercoaster... he was whining at first but I made him suck it up... now he says it's his fav... what a nerd.

The "I told you so" came out in full force after that one ;)

I was going to post about something else... but I cant remember what it was... Maybe I might remember in the middle of the night... again... maybe.

So mental...

I posted on the 6th that it was 2 years ago... Uhhh no... make that 3. Sheesh I am mental! LOL

06-07 1 year

07-08 2 years

08-09 3 years...

Yup, I am losing my mind.

3 years... yup.

I didn't mean it!

LOL

Okay, well I guess my post about TNL got passed around... and around... My bad ;)

Jake wants to make sure everyone knows HE LOVED IT and is all upset if my post will "make it change" cuzz honestly he loved it.

However, I did discuss with him the fact that if we had a small baby this wouldn't be okay... to which he agreed. We also discussed that it wouldn't be okay for an older person, to which is also agreed.

BUT he loves the loud... really he does.

I said, "Well loud but less loud would be okay right?"

His response... "Uhhhhhhhh...."

LOL

Men ;)

Bolt, the superdog!

Today was a long... long day. I watched a few kids, then a few more and tomorrow promises to be the same! Just different kids ;)

The highlight of my evening was bringing the Tankersley boys back home to their house and telling them they were going to watch Bolt... Cuzz *I* had never seen it. With all the technology in the Tanks house, yes, I chose to watch Bolt with the boys.

15 minutes into the movie... not 1, not 2 but indeed all 3 boys had crashed, dead asleep on the couch and chairs.

I knew they had played hard at my house... trampoline... water gun fights (but shhhh don't tell Robin, she doesn't like guns... LOL 00h, Hi Robin! ;))... running (literally) around the outside of the house finding the MAGIC door to the backyard... more running... tons of pizza and then get them here and CRASH! They are out for the count! AND a full hour or more earlier then expected!

Hummmm ;)

So after they crashed, I did what any person would do... I finished watching BOLT!

Yup, I could have gotten up and did something else... instead I listened to Miley Cyrus and John Travolta speak to life-- Penny and Bolt... and let me just say...

I cried.
I did.
I admit it.
I am lame.
But I cried.
And I loved it!

And I am glad I chose to waste my precious time on the boob-tube with that movie. Cute.

TNL - Tuesday Night Live... or The Next Level

We were invited to attend a Tuesday night church service of a TNL or The Next Level Church by the new pastors that were hired there this spring. Debra and Chip also homeschool, which is how we got talking about church and that they are now in this position God led them to out of Oregon.

Did that all make sense? I am tired.

ANYHOW, Deb and Chip invited us to come and we went tonight.

Holy Peter, Paul and Mary... It was loud. Not just loud. But L-O-U-D! She warned us it was loud... but I had NO idea just how loud until we were in it...

And it was great! ;)

Definitely not for some people... def. definitely! Jake and I named a few as we drove home. But definitely a place for Jake! Geez it was loud!

And the message was challenging! Really made all the different levels of churched and unchurched think about what was being said. It was good. The 8 week series is called Redemption, Hope and Healing. And it was good. I think I already said that though. ;)

We will visit again!

What to post about...

What about the weather?

5 Tornados touched town in Colorado on Saturday... Some minor damage... and some great pics... not taken by me though, thankfully they were not around my area but about 20 miles east! It was crazy!

This is a pic taken just outside my friends house. Eeerie!

What about sports?

Today we had another wonderful Homeschool Day of Soccer. 13 kids showed up and we ran around like crazy people in the coolness of June... I think it was only 68 today! Crazy! I got to play on the RED team... but Gabriel had already scored 8 goals for the blue team before I joined the Red... LOL Yes, he is that good. But it was fun :)

What about moving?

Why, yes! We are moving... eventually... someday... just not sure of the day yet. Could be in 15 days... could be in 60 days... no idea. When will we know? Well, the LL of this house is still making his decision. He can't be rushed, cuzz this is his investment ya know? But it is a bit unnerving. We did go over to the "new house" today and plot out where our stuff would go. Took some pics... I dont think I have enough stuff to fill this new house (LOL)... Oh well... Maybe I need to go to the Stuff-Mart.

What about summer plans?

I am heading to South Dakota for a few days to see my Aunt and have a Doctors appointment there with my original Doc... that will be fun to see them again. Both the Doc and my Aunt and her kids! LOL!

We aren't going anywhere else though... the only reason I get to go to SD is beccause of the Doc... it's a two fold trip... I need an EGD and I only trust Dr. Harris.

What about life?

It's life as we know it. What else.

10:44pm... I didn't miss it!

Today we went to Elitch Gardens to see Relient K.... and I almost slapped some teenagers... but that is another post. I am tired and not wanting to rehash that again tonight... I will probably dream about decking some little snag of a teenager... Ahem.

BUT Today... 2 years ago... my life changed forever. Happy Anniversary to me... the day I went THRU with the decision to get healthy and stay that way.

Here is to 50 more! :)

Now I am going to bed...

My heart is heavy...

A good friend of mine, Mel in Australia, and her husband Darrin lost their baby, Ian, this morning. He was only 48 hours old...  He had complications that were probably onset at conception. But they aren't sure.

Please pray for Mel and Darrin (and big brother Caleb). I can't imagine the heartache they are dealing with right now.

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow...

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

He is faithful... Royal Family is completely funded.

Praise the Lord.

Update on Royal Family!

Praise the Lord, they only need about 800 more dollars to have camp completely funded! Praise the Lord.

Prayers for a dry week next week are welcomed. Who wants to be at camp with all that rain ;)

As for me... I am doing okay. I am sick. Yes, very sick. I had/have a sinus infection that is turning to something else... so off to the Doctor I will try and convince myself to go.

Though this morning, I was feeling like I felt a bit better... but that could be the calm before the storm. I used to get sick and have it last 4 weeks (No, really...) when I was 19 or so... it was miserable! And this is week #2 for this crud... I am sooooo not looking forward to week #3!!! So pray that this is the LIGHT at the end of the tunnel not another round of CRUD for my lungs...

In other news... I got 90 pages done on my weekend... I had a ton of titles to do still (cuzz those who know me know I don't do titles right away which helps me to get my pages down. I did 40 of those titles yesterday... Ha! I love my Silhouette SD! ;)

Anyhow... off to blow my nose... yet again..
