I'm heading out Saturday morning for a week in the beautiful mountains of Colorado with Corben. We will be staying at the Bar Lazy J and are so excited to see my sister, Tammy and her family. Dade is spending the week with Ryan's brother & his family & Ryan is getting a whole week with just him and the girls!! So, here's a run down of our week so far....
Monday - Nothing like a good sense of Calm & Peace to egg Satan into trying to come in and Stomp All Over It!! BUT...as I said before, God Is Great and always comes to the rescue. Monday was a tough day for me but helping hands stepped right in (hands stepped??...what ever, you get the point) and the day ended with it's own Miracles. Thank you, thank you, thank you to my many angels. I actually got to end the day with a "date" with my husband. It was nice to go to Walmart & Burger King together....all the more so because we were kid free!! (Thanks R & J!!)
Tuesday - Ah, that wonderful Calm & Peace again. I spent a quiet day with the girls listening to the rolling thunder and reading a book. I love days like this. Corben & I are reading the same book right now (The Candy Shop War by the author of Fablehaven). I try to keep up with him so we both have someone to talk about it with. Plus we just found out it's going to be made into a movie!!
Caught this crane flying overhead. Corben & I like to think they look like baby dragons when they fly by.
Corben & Dade both came home with a pile of awards today. I got to go to Corben's ceremony. He was the most proud of a medal he got for having such high grades. He called it his Genius Award. Here's a terrible pic off my phone....
Corben's in the red shirt in the middle. Dade got a huge trophy for getting such high scores on the End of Grade testing. He had the highest scores in his class!! Go Dade & Corben!!
Wednesday - was....THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!! It was also baseball practice and Corben & his friends had a lot of fun.
Thursday - we ran a MILLION errands. All trying to get ready for our many vacations. I was ALL over the place. The kids were great, though, and very helpful. I think we're almost ready.
Friday - was Corben's last baseball game. The team actually had a couple more the next week but since we wouldn't be there we had to say our goodbye's to another fun season. He did great, as usual! My mom came and played with the girls so I could take pictures for the team.
Dade left that afternoon to spend the next week plus with my fabulous SIL & BIL, Heather & Eric. He's so excited!!
....So, now I'll leave Saturday and Sunday to next week's post as it's all really going to be our mega vacation blog....SEE YA!!
