8 museums in one day, a new Carberry record. James was off today and I told him it was the last weekend to do this thing called ‘Our Journey’. Colorado decided to promote the Eastern plains and get some tourists out there, so they made up this package. You get a ticket with all these […]

Yep, it’s the end of the month. Today was James’ day off so he went with us to the library for presentation club. The kids knew they’d be critiqued so they made a better effort of presenting (and in Hannah’s case being quiet.)
Joel has been trying to get paper to look old since we […]

I was going to bring glue sticks, should have stuck (Hah!) with my original plan. Hannah went crazy with the glue and poured it everywhere.
Anyway, my South American co-op was today and I was only missing 2 kids, so we had a full house. First we sat in the corner that I had decorated […]

We had loads of people at park day, good weather always a plus. The kids were having a pretend gun battle/light saber fight/capture the flag games. None of my kids got hurt, always a good thing! I made sure I had the full bottle of medicine for Grace today so we didn’t have a repeat […]

Vision on the GO!
Vision is a clear and precise picture of a desired future. Vision is tangible to the beholder. Vision mandates change, the status quo must be set aside. Vision is initiated by God. God provides the faith and the strength to serve the vision. God provides blessings through His people for the vision. […]

First – James got to fly over the hot-air balloons yesterday for his flying lesson. Also he won’t have one this week because of the DNC. Centennial airport is locked up tight and VFR pilot’s don’t have to file a flight plan (but they want everyone flying out or in this week to file a […]

First off, we picked up Joel from the balloon fest and he was whipped. Not suspiring since his friend was in the same tent and they probably got to bed at 3am (and then were woken up at 5am.) Their duties included: first aid, directing traffic, finding lost kids and helping with the putting up […]
