Hi!!! This is Erika so if i spell something wrong...sorry!:) We haven't been up to much except I just got back from Alpine 4-H camp. While I was there I made a marshmellow gun and guess what my mom thought it was...... COOL!!!!!!!! As soon I got back we went to my 2 cousins wedding WOW it was short. Then i went to my dads and Roger and mom went to Jackpot.


This morning we went to Jaxson's T-Ball game it was VERY COOL!!!!! I think his team won but I'm not sure.

What a crazy week it has been again! I didn't have any big plans for the week and that turned out to be a good thing. My good friend Christy called on Monday from the hospital. Her husband Dan was having trouble breathing Sunday evening and they ended up heading to the hospital. They found a mass in his chest wall that needed to be removed. Thank you to the surgeons and staff at PMC for their quick assessment and removal of the mass. They had to take a little bone with it but so far everything looks good and Dan is on the mend. They will decide what the next course of action will be. In all this, I have been blessed with the knowledge than Dan accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. He has been on the path for a while now. He is a great friend, a great husband to Christy and a great father. I have also been blessed with the opportunity of hanging with the kids. Great kids! Good friends for Erika and good friends for me and Roger.

Roger has been very busy this week. We haven't had any evenings together since the weekend. Two lunches and a quick wave in the morning.

Erika went to a horse judging event on Monday and placed 7th overall in the junior division. Great job for the first time out! She qualified for state but the state contest is during the week of church camp at Cathedral Pines near Sun Valley. She has been helping Grandpa with the sheep this week and I haven't seen too much of her either!

I had the opportunity to have lunch today with my friend Patty. She is doing ministry in a little town in Illinois with her husband Quentin. Lovely to see her and spend time with her. I am so bad about keeping in touch with people so it was terrific to spend some time visiting.

Beautiful weather today so I think I will go out and enjoy it!

Well, I have decided it to start looking for a regular job. I have loved the past year having some flexability with my time and have loved working at the school but in this day and age, we have to have a regular added income in order to buy a house that we would like to live in. Bummer. Three part time jobs can't cut it.
June is off to a busy month. I have been cleaning and organizing Roger's place to make it comfortable for us and Erika had one free week after school got out with nothing but soccer. She finished the season on Saturday. Although it wasn't necessarily a winning season, it was a good one for the girls. This was the first time she was on an all girls team and it has been great to watch those relationships develop. They really look out for one another. They did great in their tournament this weekend too. Won two out of three!
Now she is off at horse judging and starts day camps for 4-H this week. 4-H camp in Alpine next weekend and in a wedding for her friend Elise this weekend. Keeps me pretty busy!
Roger purchased a camp trailer at an auction last fall so our next project will be to fix that up. Not that anyone can afford to go camping with the price of gas the way it is! It will be fun family project by any means! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Bye for now.
