One awesome teen...

I just have to say to anyone worried about the "teen" years that they can be great. I have an awesome teenager. She is required by her school to volunteer 30 hours a year to graduate. Great stuff, however we thought it was more hours or they changed it. Anyway, she already has something like 146 hours because we wanted to get a start on it this summer and she volunteered at the library and helped out with FLOC. She plans to do more volunteer work. She actually wants to join "Glamour Girls" a group of girls from her high school who go into a retirement center and Glam-Up the women who live there. I have to say I would love to see this since she doesn't wear make-up or nail polish. She also makes me smile and/or laugh everyday when I pick her up from school. When she leaves us in 4 years to go to college I am sure going to miss her.

Now this is awesome...

Who needs back-up singers when your this talented!

Sept. 5 and we have SNOW!

A quick UPDATE: By the next afternoon it was gone. So, this is the only proof I have that it has already snowed this summer, that just doesn't sound right. You do have to remember that it isn't Fall until Sept. 22nd, I think. I can only remember that summer is June 21st, my beautiful daughter Sarahbeth's birthday.


Well this isn't the best of pictures. It is out our master bedroom window and miles away at our snow bowl, but it is still snow. If it last we will go closer tomorrow. So, keep watching for more photos.

Prayers for Luke's family....

Our friend Luke is flying from Florida to Boston for 2 major surgeries. They will be removing his KT leg and fixing his bleeding issue. We hope all goes well with his surgeries and his flight.
