Girl's Day Out

My latest scrapbook pages...it is from an outing with Mom and Vicki during my Spring Break. I made it last night. (What do you think, Amanda? Did I incorporate the purple in nicely??). I got to use the cool circle MOD paper that I got a long time ago!...and some of the new stuff I got from the Jenni Bowlin June kit!! :) I loved all of the stuff in the kit! It was so fun making these pages!





The journaling is handwritten underneath the four pictures (they flip open):

Hanging out with Mom & Vicki...

What a blessing they are to me! I love that we have the opportunity to spend time together. On this particular day, I was on Spring Break and Mom and Vicki were able to take some time off. We went shopping at Goodys and laughed so hard that mom was crying.

We went to Cotton Patch Cafe for lunch (in the mall)...we ate the best
rolls in the world and had some good conversation.

Since mom had never been to Starbucks before we decided to make a trip to introduce mom to the Starbucks experience. Mom ordered a cappucino and when she got it, it was so bitter she couldn't drink it. We added some sugar but it didn't help. Finally, we asked the Barista and she suggested adding vanilla. It did the trick. Mom was pleased with her first trip to Starbucks. I'm not sure when we will get her to go there again...she doesn't like to cross 31st Street to get there because of all the traffic. When I told people that she had never been to Starbucks before, no one believed me! It is 2006 and mom had never been to Starbucks! Crazy! Insane! But now she can say she has been there. :) I got a Java Chip Frap and Vicki got a Strawberries and Cream Frap. To top it all off, they even spelled our names right on our cups! :) That doesn't happen very often. I was really excited about the picture of mom and Vicki. It is super cute!

I am so very blessed to have the free time to spend making memories and bonding. It reminds me so much of shopping trips as a kid...spending time together, chatting, laughing, just being happy to spend time with each other. Now it means even more to me since we don't get the chance to go out very often.

Vicki decided to put a cowboy hat on while we were in Goodys...I couldn't believe she actually posed for the picture! What a good sis she is!

All in all, it was an awesome day full of laughter and smiles. I hope we have tons more of them throughout the years!

There is nothing better than a girl's day out! :)

Some Bonus Photos

We took 60 pictures so I thought I would share a few more :)

Take Me Out to the Ballgame...

Got 6 free tickets from KLOVE to go to a Christian concert featuring Matthew West (somehow I forgot to take any pics of him!) and then to a baseball game.

Matthew West sings "Happy", "Next Thing You Know", "I Love You More", and "Only Grace" which are played on KLOVE and are really good songs.

Invited Logan, Caden, and Carter to come with us (and also Amanda but she ended up declining...we missed you, Amanda!).

It was super hot outside but we did get to see Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato from Veggie Tales (and I know Bob the Tomato from church!!!!). Logan and Caden were pretty excited to see them.

It took a little while for Caden to warm up to the idea of getting close to such large creatures but after a while he only wanted to be near them. He would find them throughout the evening and reach out his hands and say "Larry" but we all thought he was saying "daddy" and were confused since he was in daddy's lap already. I think Caden was really happy to meet Bob and Larry in real life.

Brad played catch with Logan in the parking lot with the baseballs that we got for free...and one of the balls is a Bob baseball (it's red and has Bob's face on it), how awesome is that?! Totally fun.

After a little baseball watching and nacho eating (it was entertaining watching Caden & Logan eat the nachos...Caden would suck off the cheese and then hand the chip to Logan...it was a pretty good deal for Logan since he only likes the chips without cheese!). Got some nice nacho face pics. :)

It was really nice to see the boys...we don't get to see them very often these days. They are so fun!! Glad we got the chance to go!!!

Camp Crestview, Day 5

A good day. Not much talk about Jesus...hopefully people saw Jesus in us though :) It's the day we go to a waterpark and let the kids loose for like 5 hours. The leaders played sand volleyball...always a fun competition. My team lost a lot but a good time was had by all. I was glad I didn't get burned! I put on sunscreen twice.

Even though the school buses are air conditioned, it never cooled off on the way home. Except for 2 small areas on the bus, we were burning up...quite sad. I did get a little nap in on the way home though :)

The church is going on a mission trip to Myanmar (formerly Burma, right Vick?) and we all brought vitamins for the children in orphanages. The 5th and 6th grade camp brought over 8,000 vitamins in all!! My group won doughnuts and candy because we brought the most vitamins. The kids were pretty excited to win :)

I was sad to see the kids go. I can't believe how fast the week went by! I was soooooo very tired by the end of the day (actually, I was tired at the beginning but I was super tired by the end.). I came home, showered, got online for a bit, ate Chick that my wonderful boy brought me, and got in bed and went to sleep. I got 10 hours of sleep last night. I have been going to sleep super late and waking up super early every day so I needed some sleep!

Thank you for all of your prayers. I know some seeds were planted this week.

P.S. Can somebody remind me to get a Bible and send it to one of the girls in my group?? I know I will forget! (She had never opened a Bible before. I helped her find the verse I gave her to read and after that she was so excited. Anytime I needed a verse read she would volunteer. How awesome is that?! We take it for granted that we have God's Word but we really are so blessed to be able to have a Bible to read!!!!).

I plan to send them each a note and a copy of the group picture. Remind me to do that too :) Thanks!

Camp Crestview, Day 4

Super great day once again. I am sad though, the week has gone by so fast. I don't want to go to work on Saturday! I want to SLEEP! and for a long time, too!!

Today we went bowling, raced the boats we made on Monday and Wednesday (Penguin Pink {my group} won in the racing category...how awesome is that?!?!?!), got baked in the sun watching the boat races...we were on the HOT asphalt, ate grilled cheese & hot dogs, ate popsicles (yes, we eat a lot!), had some small group time, and ripped up the room (oh, Vick, I forgot to take pictures of the finished product...how sad!).

BTW, the group LOVED the bag o' goodies Brad and I picked out for them...they were so excited to memorize scripture and rip through the bag to find a new treasure. The boas were the most popular...they were my personal favorite, too! :)

Tomorrow I have a feeling that we might win something because we brought the most vitamins...not sure though, because another group could bring a whole lot tomorrow. We shall see.

Pray that we will have safe travel...it takes about two hours to get to the water park. Pray that no one gets carsick (it is a really hilly ride!)! Pray that God will keep moving and the kids will ask any questions that they may have. Pray that they will have FUN! :)

P.S. COLBY IS OUT OF THE ICU!!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!!! :) They say he will be ready to go back to school when it starts in August!

Camp Crestview, Day 3

I am surviving quite well and am shocked that tomorrow is already Thursday!!! The week always goes by so fast!

Today we stayed at the church and played on inflatable games, listened to people sing karaoke (they love picking out songs and singing with their friends!), doing crafts, and eating burgers and snacks. Brandon and I shared our testimonies with the kids and went over the lesson.

Today was commitment day and we had two boys stand up. Neither one of us got to go and talk to them though because boys can't meet with girl leaders and vice versa and Brandon was playing the guitar. Kind of a bummer!!!!! :(

All in all, camp is going really, really well. I am about to type a list of the Bible verses for the week. Brad and I went to the dollar store tonight and got a TON of prizes for them if they can manage to memorize them all! (Fun stuff, too!! Bubbles, gooey body parts, yo yos, beach balls, boxing frog pens, snake pens, feather boas, glitter batons, etc.) I think the kids will be really excited! :)

Tomorrow is the last day that we meet in our small groups since we go to a waterpark on Friday. It's always sad when we have our last small group!! Pray that God will keep moving!!! Pray that not even one kid would leave tomorrow without accepting Jesus Christ as their personal Savior!!

P.S. I have some REALLY exciting news but I can't share it yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update on Colby & Gene

Colby and Gene are still struggling. I called Gene this morning to check on him and Colby. He said that he went to see him in the hospital and that he is on a lot of pain killers. He is still in the ICU. They are going to graft skin to fix his foot. He has metal clamps on his legs right now. Please pray for wisdom for the doctors, a quick recovery, and comfort for him!!
While he was at the hospital he saw a lot of the family and the grandma gave him a hug and said she was on the same end of the situation before. Gene didn't get a chance to talk to her about it.

Brad and I went to eat with Gene and Linda tonight. He said he keeps replaying it in his head and he said it changes the way he thinks about a lot of things. You can tell God is working in him. He has to deal with insurance stuff tomorrow I think. He is planning on paying to fix his truck without using insurance, but we do not yet know who is paying for Colby’s medical bills.

Please keep praying for them!

Camp Crestview, Day 2

Had a much better day today. Shelled out some dough yesterday to purchase some candy for bribes...worked like a charm!! The kiddos that would not stop talking and interrupting each other yesterday were quiet and respectful of each other (at least during small group!). God works miracles!

Had some good discussion in small group...we used the evangecube to tell the Gospel story. Tomorrow is commitment day...hoping to have some really good discussion before the invitation. I just wish they would verbally ask the questions that they have in their heads! When I was their age I had a TON of questions!!

Went to Park & Pizza today...it was raining when we got there but stopped shortly thereafter. That was a blessing because the kids would have been totally bummed if they didn't get to ride the go karts and bumper boats!

So, I thought I would show off some pics of my kiddos...they are really cool little people!! There are 13 kids in my group (4 boys and 9 girls).

*The girl with the curly pigtails is a girl after my own heart. She just cut 10" of her beautiful curly hair off to give to Locks of Love! She is sooo sweet (and cute!)!
*The boy on the top row (standing behind another boy) had the coolest fro I have ever seen in my life yesterday...he came in today with it in braids. I was so sad...I told him that I loved the fro and wanted to take his picture today. He says he likes the braids better though since it is cooler.
*The boy showing off the Cheezits is really enthusiastic and fun.
*The girl behind him is so beautiful and I love her braids!
*The girl to the right of the boy with the awesome fro is so cool. I had her brother in camp a few years back...Brad had him in his group the following year. Super cool that I get the chance to get to know her too! :)
*Brandon, my co-leader, is laying in front. He is a really funny, laid back dude.

Please pray that God will continue to use Brandon and me to speak to these kids. I know they have questions, I can tell. Please pray that they will voice their questions, close their mouths, open their ears, and allow God to work in their hearts. I am sure that many of them are not sure about where they will go when they die. Please pray that they understand God's truth. As always, please pray for ENERGY for the leaders!!

Well, I must go get my lesson ready for tomorrow. Thank you for all of your prayers! I could see a HUGE difference today! :)

Camp Crestview, Day 1

Camp went really well overall. We played get-to-know-you games, ate snacks, did team building games, made a boat (one for the whole team...they worked on it together), talked about Elijah (1 Kings 18), sang some songs, ate some pizza, and just basically started to get to know each other. The first day is always the hardest.

I had some kids that did not want to listen and liked to talk when other people were talking. We actually didn't get to complete one of the team building games because they would not listen to the leader. I am not used to that. Usually my kids at Camp are pretty well behaved and willing to listen and pay attention. Jill told me today that this is just my year to have the difficult group...she says there is one every year. Seeing as how I have gotten super-wonderful groups the last, oh, five years, I guess it is my turn!!

I am sure that tomorrow will be better. Please pray that I can be able to deal with issues that occur with misbehaving (in a loving way) so that all of the kids can pay attention. I really have difficulties when they are trying to share something and other kids are talking. I think that is so disrespectful!

Pray that God will give Brandon (my co-leader) and me the words we need to share with them...especially during small group time. It is hard to express into words what I really think they need to know!!!

Thank you for all your prayers!!!!!!!

Urgent Prayer Request

My father-in-law, Gene, was on his way home tonight from the grocery store (picking up medicine for his mother-in-law) when an 8 year old boy on a motorized bike hit the side of his truck. The accident happened at 6:40 p.m. tonight. The little boy, Colby, was moving pretty fast on the bike; Gene was driving slowly because there were a lot of people out. Colby had a helmet on but no shoes.

He was Starflighted to Breckenridge Hospital and he has no internal bleeding or head injuries (praise the Lord!). The accident could have been much worse. We know that God is working. He has a bruised liver, a collapsed lung, a broken femur and had a severe cut on his foot and the doctors will have to reconfigure his foot. He will have to wear a cast and go through surgery but he will be okay. Please pray that God would work mightily in this situation. Pray for wisdom for the doctors and peace for the family.

We went to visit with Gene tonight and he is very distraught and emotional (as you can imagine). Please, please lift him up in your prayers right now. The accident was not his fault but I know that he feels like it is. He keeps replaying everything in his mind. Pray for peace in his soul and that he can get some rest tonight.

Everything happens for a reason and I know that God will work through this situation. Please keep them all in your prayers. I will post updates when I hear more information.

"...in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33 NIV

Camp Crestview...

starts tomorrow!! PLEASE pray for...
*me that God will fill me up and give me ENERGY for the week!!! Let Christ's light SHINE!!!
*the workers that we can all be used by God to create relationships with the campers and share our love for the Lord.
*the preteens that their hearts will be open to hear God's truth.
*the whole entire event that God's will would happen.
*all the campers that God would work in their hearts.

I will be at the church at 7:30 tomorrow morning (8:00 the following mornings till Friday!)! I appreciate all your prayers and thoughts!! God is going to do mighty things this week!!! :)

Happy Father's Day...

to the best daddy in the world (no, for real...he is the best daddy in the world!). :)

He taught me about life...
about always working hard
about never giving up...
about having fun...
about giving of yourself...
about respecting others...
about loving others...
about being grateful...
about setting priorities...
about what a marriage should look like...
about how to be a good parent...
about always being there...

I love you daddy. Thank you for everything.

In Honor of Corn Fest...

Today was the 32nd annual Corn Festival. I am a BIG fan. We get to watch a parade, steal a few pieces of candy before the kids get to it, visit with family we don't see that often, peruse booths of handmade items, eat BBQ, listen to music, and, of course, eat corn!!! :) Next year I hope to run in the 5K race with my favorite cousin Perez and get a piece of corn with a cowboy hat!!! Right, Perez?!!?!

My cousin Kristi & kids, cousin Deborah & husband Tommy & kids, Aunt Imogene, cousin Perez, cousin's bf Josh, uncle Ronnie, and sister Vicki were all in attendance this year...we missed aunt Nelwyn (hope you feel better soon!). A good time was had by all.

Last year I didn't get off work and missed the celebration but don't worry...this year I ate enough corn for the last two years. :)

For those of you who are unaware, I can eat my fair share of corn. (They want to enter me in the corn eating contest next year...and I am all about some free corn!!!). Mom loves to tell the story of the time when I ate so much corn that I actually made myself sick.

There was a period of time when I had braces and couldn't eat corn on the cob without cutting it off the cob...a sad, sad day that was. Glad I didn't have to have braces that long!

So in honor of Corn Fest, here is one of my favorite childhood pictures...

LOVELY, NO?! :)

Not exactly sure why we took it??

Perhaps dad took it for a magazine article??

Perhaps we were really bored and had nothing else to do?

Perhaps it was just a nice perk of having a daddy that was a farmer?

I really have no clue why we took it but it surely brings back some good memories. Eating lots and lots of corn, wearing my Minnie Mouse glasses, and being surrounded by corn for the entire summer. Ah, those were the days!! :)

P.S. Vick, I know this is your favorite picture and you love it so...any idea why we took it?? And where the heck is Amanda?! :)

(That is including the time to put your credit card number and email address in!) I could not believe it! Kevin (coworker, Julie's husband) thought we had gone insane.

The Update

*Got to go to the release party of Concept7's first album "Rhymetiquette" this weekend. SO TOTALLY AWESOME!!! :) I know 3 of the 6 band members from CBS. I am just so amazed by their talent and how much fun they have with what they do!!

I am listening to the breakdancer himself, Isaiah, right now. He totally rocks. He leads our worship time at CBS and I am just so proud to know him. The CBSers look up to him...and his little brother is his biggest fan (see picture on the right)! (How cute is that picture?!)

I am so excited for David (bleached hair) and Breann who are expecting their first baby in five months. They are really happy. Glad I know them!

I also know Marcos from CBS. I don't know him as well as the other two but I know that he has a passion for the Lord...and for telling others about God!

The whole party was so much fun...and as Vicki says,

"I've never seen a whitier white girl try to rap. It's like watching Pee-wee Herman."

I am not so good at rapping (okay, I stink at it) but I don't think I embarrassed MAM and Brad too much...they continued to stand/sit near me throughout the evening :) But boy was it a fun evening!!! (I have more pics to share but they won't upload for some reason!)

*Totally looking forward to CKU...I just found out today that I get to go in September!! (For those of you who are non-scrappers...CKU stands for Creating Keepsakes University. CK is a big scrapping magazine and they have weekend-long retreat-type deals where a lot of the fancy scrapbookers teach classes.) I have never been before and it hasn't come to Texas in three years so I was really hoping I could go this time! It will be such an awesome experience! And I get to go with Julie!!! SO MUCH FUN!!! :) I am working on picking out my classes tonight.

*Ran on Sunday with Dayna Marie and I am sore...very pathetic, I know! I'm not sure why I am still so sore!!

*Looking forward to the Corn Fest on Saturday...I can taste the corn on the cob now :) YUM! Amanda, are you in?!?! Perez and Vicki are in!!

*Preparing for Camp Crestview next week! (Camp Crestview is a big shebang! M-F 8:00-5:00 camp. We decorate the church building and have over 800 kids signed up!!!!) I have 13 5th graders in my group (I have a co-leader too!). I wrote them each a note and mailed them out today. I love Camp...it is such an awesome experience. Getting out of my comfort zone...there are so many times when I want to give up, take a break, lack enthusiasm. I know I can't do it on my own. He is always there to give me that extra push. I love Camp Crestview!!!! The first week of camp (for the smaller kiddos) is going on right now. Please pray for the workers and the kiddos attending camp this week and next week!!

*I am sleepy so I am gonna head to bed...more to come soon. Peace out.

The {L} List (Things I love)

*Brad and I tried one of these Cookies and Cream shakes tonight from Chick-Fil-A. If I may say so, it is quite delightful and refreshing. I love cookies and cream ice cream so this was right up my alley.

*Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. They are just totally amazing...the name is quite appropriate. They cleaned my impossibly dirty tub with ease. You MUST go out and buy these right away (you will not regret it!)!

*Fridays off work. So very nice. I cleaned the house, got caught up on laundry, visited Perez at the candy store, hung out with the puppies in the corn (mom and dad went to the coast so I took a trip out to the corn to give them a potty break), ate at McAlisters with Bradley for lunch, drank multiple Dr. Peppers, bought a new (really cute) bag, some candy, and scrapping stuff, snuggled with Brad, scrapbooked, and generally had a wonderful day.

*Vanilla Cappucinos from Starbucks. YUM. Started drinking these after I tried mom's during Spring Break. Got one on Thursday morning with a cinnamon roll. I accidentally ordered a Venti instead of a Grande...ended up drinking a lot of coffee...even though a lot of it is just foam. Ahhh. :)

*I love the idea of having a family and friends blog where people leave comments with memories, thoughts, highlights, family events, favorite recipes, etc. That is an awesome idea! If anybody ever has anything to share, please do!!! :)

*Having painted nails and toenails :) It doesn't happen very often because they chip so quickly. I bought some Mary Kay nail polish from my neighbor a couple of weeks ago...in whipped pink. Nice and light...I like it. :)

*Pottery Barn Style House...I would love to do a wall in the house with pictures. Neato idea.

More Artwork :)

I utilized my scraproom (and new chair!) last night and made a frame with one of my favorite pictures from Easter...my little (second) cousin Emily. She is too cute :) (I went back to Target and bought more of the frame kits the other day.) The kits are super fun, affordable, and easy to make! :)

I also made a shadow box with some keepsakes from the wedding. I am thinking about making more of them because I still have some other stuff I would like to display (rather than keeping it in my hutch for another three years). Hobby Lobby has shadow boxes half off right now! Not to sound like a commercial but really, what a deal! :)

One day I will be ready to scrapbook the wedding...it just seems very overwhelming to me right now. So here is the shadow box I made...it has the front of our wedding invitation, a picture from the wedding, and the bride & groom bears that sat on the cake table (thanks Dayne for the groom bear!) :)

I've gotta go get ready for work...have a wonderful Saturday, everybody! :)

Bible Trek

Is a brief overview of the Bible taught by a man named Scott Barkley. He went over so many things I have never really thought about before!

What is a Bible Trek™?
It is a five lesson trip through the entire Bible. We will purposely tackle some of the difficult areas. Our goal is to give answers in a concise form, to the following (among many):
Is the Bible a reliable document and source of truth?
Does science contradict the Bible?
Does the Bible really portray a plan?
What about Evolution vs. Creationism?
How can I have a relationship with God?
Is Jesus the Messiah?
When will the end times occur as Revelation predicts?
Why do bad things happen to good people?
And much more …

Our goal is not to study everything in the Bible, but to put the Biblical information in a context that is understandable and makes sense intellectually, chronologically and spiritually. In order to do this we will focus on what is absolutely essential to know and understand about he Bible and God’s plan, and leave the rest to later advanced studies. Since 1992, Bible Trek Ministries has been teaching the Bible Trek study in small groups in the central Texas area. To date over 3,000 people have gone through the Bible Trek and between 1500-2000 people have made new professions of faith! God is blessing us. Today, the Bible Trek is represented in Eastern Europe, South America, South
Korea, Mexico as well as in the USA. If you are a foreign soil missionary please fill in the feedback form for a special offer just for you - in the subject section type in Missionary. Bible Trek Ministries exists as a non-denominational lay ministry. If there is a longing in your heart to experience more of God, Please browse through the site to learn more about us. Click below to find out more about our founder...Scott Barkley (www.bibletrek.com 6.1.06).

If you ever get the chance to go to a Bible Trek...DO IT!!!! It is really amazing! Tonight was an overview of the Old Testament with an emphasis on Genesis. I will work on getting some notes from the first session on here soon. It is really awesome stuff!!!

I am so excited to see what God is going to show me in the next four weeks!! :) I love being surrounded by people who love the Lord! It is so refreshing to see my CBS family again!! :)

P.S. Mel I put that last part from the website in for you :)

WOOO HOOOO!!! As for All!!!

I got an A in Team Management! And Brad did too! :) Very exciting! It's always nice when my GPA goes up (even though it is only by a little bit!).

Brad goes back to school today until the end of June. Kind of a bummer. But he just wants to be finished. Not much longer and we will have our very expensive little pieces of paper! :) May 2007...mark your calendars!!

I will miss my Bradley though :( I like riding to work with him!! He is taking Finance at 8:00...ugh! That class is the worst class ever!! I made a C in it...the only C of my college career! I worked so hard in that class! He has a better teacher I think so maybe it will not be as difficult...he had this teacher for Accounting last semester. (Side note: My Finance teacher talked 100 miles an hour and assumed that the whole class had a background in Finance. I hadn't taken Accounting in years and certainly knew nothing about Finance. He would always sigh when we asked him to explain a problem.)

He has Christian Principles at 12:00...YAY! That class is the best!!!! I love the teacher and love the class material and idea of the class! The books for the class changed since I took it but I know it will be really good regardless. :)

He has a little break in between the two classes. Hopefully he will enjoy both of the classes and do really well! :)

As for me, I am going to work everyday except for Friday!!
