Makeover day

We had such a fun day yesterday with our SS class. We had a makeover day. See our study book is called Small changes for a better life and it has a chapter on how you should take care of yourself so our teacher decided to get her hairdresser to do a day of makeovers for us ladies. We didn't know who was going to be madeover so it was fun to sit there and wait to see who they picked. Well, my daughter got picked to get a haircut!!!!! She and I were soooo excited. She is away at college and doesn't get to get away to get her hair cut too often. They did an excellent job on her hair.I wish I would've taken my camera with me to show you pictures but I didn't:( She looks great and I think I found a new place to get my hair cut.:) This place pampers you and it is so nice just to be pampered a little bit every once in a while,right? They have pedicures, manicures, a massage room and full service hair salon. I think I found where my girls and I are going for a mom/daughter day out.:)

Have a stinkn' sinus infection so not going to be on for a few days.

Weekend Fun

Not much going on today. We had to get up early and take our daughter to her traffic school class. She got a ticket in April and this class takes it off her record. After we pick her up we are planning on going grocery shopping. Not an exciting thing.
Last night the kids played Twister-the original one. We had soooooooooooo much fun watching them,and yes I did play a couple of times. We had some kids over that had never played it and they had so much fun. It was hilarious to watch them get all tangled up and trying to figure out how to twist and turn. The old games are the best ones.

world food day

World Food Day marks the anniversary of the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN) in 1945. It is celebrated on October 16 each year.


On October 16, 1945, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN) was founded. The aim of this organization is to lead international efforts to defeat hunger, supply information and act as a neutral forum for negotiation and debate around hunger and food supply. Each year World Food Day marks the anniversary of the founding of this organization and concentrates on a particular theme. In 2008 the event's theme is “World Food Security: the Challenges of Climate Change and Bioenergy”.

World Food Day helps raise people's awareness of problems in food supply and distribution.

***Couldn't go to the kite fest. It got rained out.:( So no pictures*****

Football game

Here's our kids plus one at the football game yesterday. It was beautiful weather for a game and they won the game. The score was something like 48-3. It wasn't really a game,too far ahead. The second picture is the marching band. They did mission impossible. The last one,of course is me and hubby. We had a fun day but we were definitely ready to get home and enjoy the rest of the day with the family.

Keep going, and going and going.......

Have been way too busy lately to post much on here. School,work, church and family have kept me going. This weekend we have a fun thing going on for church. It is called Farmtastic. It is for the teens of the church. THere are churches from all over that come to participate in this. It is a lot of games, food, and fun and then they have a service at the end. Just pray that it doesn't rain on Saturday so they can enjoy the day. Our oldest daughter is coming early this weekend so she can help too. She is also bringing a friend from school to stay the night at our house. We are looking forward to this weekend. Ought to be fun. Will try to get pictures if I can. I am working during the lunch at farmtastic. They are serving over 2000 hot dogs that day. Should be a good turn out.

Trip to Maranatha

Good picture of Brie and Emily.












She gets a top bunk. Guess it was first come first serve. :) It has been a while since I made a bunk bed. Not easy!!!











This is Brie's dorm. She is on the other side of the building but I took this side b/c the name is on it.

happy 15th birthday Katie

 

Today is our youngest daughter's birthday. Can't believe she is turning 15 already. Seems like it was just yesterday that we were bringing her home from the hospital.
We are going to have a birthday breakfast with the family since dad has to work tonight, then we are going to have a birthday dinner with some of her friends.

Other news.....we took our oldest daughter to college yesterday. She is so excited about starting.We went around with her yesterday getting all the paperwork and pictures and all the audition times she needed. She has four roommates and hopefully has all the things she needs to start her semester. I would have pictures up to show you her room and all....but the memory card we used in the camera won't let me download them since we used my daughter's camera and not mine. So will have to get a disc made and then post them.

Have a great labor day weekend everyone. I know I am going to enjoy it. I have a four day weekend and am going to make the best of it. :)

You Scored an A

You got 9/10 questions correct. It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors. If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs. As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human. And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.

The It's Its There Their They're Quiz

Look what I got :)

Like my new fridge???? We got it yesterday because my other one bit the dust. It was not keeping milk or anything cold and I am sure it was at least 20 years old, so it was time to get a new one. I love this new fridge. It has a water filter system on it so we can get good water to drink and has crushed and cubed ice. I like all the extras you get on appliances:) This is the first new fridge i have ever had. I always have gotten used ones. I am so excited. I go to the kitchen just to look at it hehe:)

too busy to post...

Wow!!! I was looking at the last time I posted and I haven't posted at all in August. I am really falling behind.
We have been very busy this summer. This last week we took vacation and had a great time. We went to Indiana to a family reunion, then the next day had a 90th birthday party for my grandpa. Then we came home and my parents, brother and sister and her family came to stay for a few days. We went shopping and found some really good deals and went to visit my aunt one day-which was very nice to see her and her hubby again.Then Thursday we really didn't do a whole lot-sort of a rest day. Friday we went into Chicago to shop. It was a lot of fun. We walked,I don't know how many miles that day around Chicago,but it was a lot of fun. We stopped at Millennium park and saw the bean and the sculptures there. The guys were at a Cub game that day and the Cubbies won.They were excited. We then ate dinner at Giordano's. Great Chicago style pizza.
This week we are getting the kids ready for school. It starts next week. I was not ready for all of them to go back at the same time. The younger ones usually go the week after high school but not this year. Guess it is good though. They are all ready to go back.
Hope you all have enjoyed your summer. I know we have. Just wish it didn't have to end.

In my daughters' eyes

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daugter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

Found this online and had to post it for my daughters. It is sung by Martina McBride and I love it!!!

VBS

This week has been VBS at our church. Our son has gone all week and really enjoyed it. The girls have also been working at VBS too. It has been a very busy week. Wednesday was water day and I think the favorite day of all the kids.


This is Ricky having fun in the water games. He came home soaked!!!!! Today is the last day of VBS and they get to see who wins the grand prize which is a bike. Ricky has wanted that all week but not sure if he will win since he didn't want to memorize any verses or get too many extra points. We'll see. His team over all has been winning though and he has been telling us all about the missionary story that they have been hearing all week. I'm impressed. I just hope the heat isn't as bad as it has been all week. We are still dealing with air conditioner problems. We have one that works but it is a smaller unit and only puts out so much cool air. It has been in the 90's and very humid this week. Today is suppose to rain so hopefully there will be some relief from the heat.
