Walk A Thon ~ Oct 2008

Thank you all so much for all your support and prayers.We have great news Samuel walked 45 laps equaling 11.25 miles. Samuel started at 1pm and ended around 6pm.. and he took a brake to eat dinner then went back out to finish. He did have a goal of walking 50 laps and he came very close. I'm so proud of him for all his hard work. Samuel also had a goal of raising $150.00 for his school. and with all your help he raised that and more.. woo~hoo Samuel raised $220.00.

Do you see Sam.. All the children in the blue shirts are from the elementary school. All the children in the black shirts are from the middle charter school

Sam showing us how many laps so far
Here is Sam and Elvis (AKA Mr. Reno Sam's Principal) Here is Sam and Nathan after the all the walking..

My heart cry is that our boys would be men that serive the LORD with their whole heart.

I was watching the end of Lou Engels on God TV.. and he said something that just hit me.. and its so true.. I don't care if our boys are famous or successful... Its more important to me that they are men that follow God with their whole heart.. That they don't shrink back.. but they run fully after the LORD and all he has for them... I want the best for our boys.. I want the to taste, see, feel the freedom in the LORD. I want them to have a love for the LORD more then anything else in life. I want the to have a boldness that won't and or want be silent about the LORD.. They would be faithful to the LORD with their whole heart.

Oh God, thank you so much for the blessing in raising these wonderful boys for you. OH God I need your wisdom and direction.. God I need your insight. I just need you more then the air I breath and or the food I eat. God I just need your help to riase these boys for you. I need your faith, grace and mercy. I need ears to hear you, eyes to see you, and a heart to recieve everyting you have for us. I need the faith to believe in everything you say and do!!!!! Amen and Amen!

I miss Him :-(

Silly I know.. Jason left on Friday to go hunting and helping his Cousin with his cabin. Its only Sunday, and I miss my hubby.. I'm feeling like a lost little puppy. Also why is it that my house stays cleaner when he is gone? as soon as he comes home my house is not as tidy. its clean but not tidy not spotless... I still have 4 more days... Oh hum

I miss his smile
I miss his hugs
I miss the way he talks to the boys.
I miss hearing the gate open when he comes home...
I miss hearing him pray with us.
I miss hearing him quote bible verses to us.

Oh man is this normal to miss your spouse this much?? Is this really how Gods planed for it to? Could it be that I'm that depending upon a man that it causing me to be lonely with out him??.. and it that how God wants it? Oh boy, to me this is just craziness.. All my life I have never been this crazy in love with someone.. and I never thought that I could ever love something like I love this man.. or for that matter love my boys.

We went to Grandma's house..

And Grandpa's house too. We went last weekend and had a blast.. Thank you mom and dad for a great time.. We miss you very much. We got to Gpa's and Gma's house Friday evening. and came home Sunday evening. Nate had a cold all week. Sam woke up Friday am not feeling all the well, but we went to Gma's house anyway... ( sorry mom) Well Jason started coughing late Saturday and was sick by Saturday night. and I First thought I was just having a dry throat because of the climate change.. Now I know that was not the case, I also got sick at Gma and Gpas house.. BUT We had a great time..

Friday ~
Got there around 5 or 5:30pm, We had dinner and just talked and watched some TV.

Saturday ~
We got up and Gma made a great breakfast. Gma also packed a great lunch, we (Gpa, Gma, Andy, Jason, Matt, Sam, Nate and myself) went to Hat Creek so the boys ( BUT Sam was not feeling well so he didn't fish, Sam stayed with Gma and myself) could go fishing. Gma / Mom and I played ( Sam played a little) Crazy Bee.. We didn't get back to the house until almost 9pm or later. BUT great uncle Sean had dinner cooked and waiting for us.. All Gma had to do was cut up a salad and warm up some veggies.

Sunday ~
Gma make another good breakfast for us. Gpa, Jason, Matt, and myself went to church. Gma stayed home with Sam as he was feeling worse, and Nate stayed with Gma also. Then after church we went back to the house and had lunch, then packed up our things.. Oh and then we had dessert, Yummy, Angel food cake and Strawberries with cool whip.. oh man was it good. Then we drove home.

We again had a great time.

I again will be back with photos after I get some sleep..
