Trying to stay afloat!

Yikes Ive been busy! Like the title im just trying to stay afloat right now--
Ive been able to sell all 20 tickets to see Wicked WHEW--Ive sent out the letter Rachel & I put together to help her raise her funds to go to DC (we're up to 2290 out 3500) THANK YOU TO THOSE FAMILIES THAT HAVE DONATED TOWARDS THIS---SO THANKFUL!!!

I have been CRAZY busy with this food run I keep doing 5 days a week-for the past couple of weeks it hasnt been as much food as we typically get-but WOW have things changed!! we've been getting about 35-40 boxes PER DAY--here are some photos of that..





there are many many many families that are just plain struggling right now financially--Im really blessed to be able to feed my family & excited that I can help feed all of these other families (we're up to 40 families now)-they are all so grateful & are so kind to give me hugs & thank me for the hard work Tracy & myself do each morning-its a WONDERFUL way to start your day like this everyday i have to say!! i SO LOVE IT!!!
they continue to donate money towards my gas which I am so thankful for considering gas is 4.35 a gallon!! GEESH!

Here is a COMPLETE meal that was all free from my daily food runs-is this awesome or what!


On saturday we had Nathan Espinoza & his mom mow our FOREST in the backyard-it looks HUGE now that the tall grass is all gone-Jason Scoville started the ordeal by weed WHACKING the heck out of it first--thanks guys for bringing my backyard back!!

School is out this thursday at 12noon--its just been busy with activites..i'll be glad when that is all over---Anna had her graduation today-it was oh so cute--her teacher told us that she just loves anna & that she is just the sweetest little girl--

Kristi is in town from Utah-so we'll be playing lots with them-including the BEACH come friday-WHOO HOO i love having older girls that can just hang at the beach so i can SIT at the beach--the next day we'll be with my family for Dad's Day, followed by hanging with jons family on sunday for Dad's day--so busy busy week followed by a busy busy weekend!

Jon is doing great--i took him to the dr to get a prescription refilled & his blood pressure was 107/82 which is great! he's usually 75/50--so that was fun to hear! He hasnt been able to work out as much due to life just being so busy over here-i continue to work him tuesdays, his mom thursdays & his dad fridays-we're in the works of trying to find someone or a few to work him out for an hour monday/tues/wed so that he has a good system down--he really is doing good though-still waiting to see if we get any bites on his book..he's currently working on ANOTHER website that can be extremely useful to the public-so most of his day is spent behind the computer working on that--he continues to work as the duty to god cordinator & has an entire database he built from scratch (of course!) to keep everyone & everything organized-its quite impressive!!

Well its been a VERY long day & started with little sleep--off to bed!

Moving right along...

Life has just been busy (with little stuff) school almost over (on the 9th), family portraits taken, Dance Festival entire script to write (22K people are coming to see this), $3500 needed to raise to send Rachel to DC (have 2120 raised), 14 more Wicked tickets to sell, Annas Kindergarden graduation...all of this to be done before the end of the month! YIKES!!

Here are some photos of flowers i ALWAYS have in my house (usually 3 different vases filled with fresh flowers)from the food run...


its so fun to have these in our home!

Kristen's son Noah was blessed so we went to the "after party" im sure there's a MUCH MORE spiritual name for it-but you get the drift...here is a photo of a couple who knew almost all of jons family-

it was fun catching up and seeing who we all knew--The guy was Kim (Loveridge) Bytheway's best friend in HS..hmmm..wink wink!! He also knows Chris Anderton our BIL--I know both me & jon were in the photo to but we didnt look as cute so we cropped ourselves out of it!!

Here is a quick vinyl lettering that Lauralee did for me I SO LOVE IT!

Its for Annas K teacher, this is her last year (married having a baby)so we wrote all the kids names around an apple...SO CUTE!
this one is of sarah's baptism photo...again just oh so cute!


Rachel has already moved on from bfriend Cole..life of an 11 year old oh my! I knew it wouldnt last long--do they ever in the 5th grade?!??! Im just glad school is almost over so the boy drama can cease till sept!!

Life has been good..just busy!
