"PFG"

Heidi is out with her "PFG" (Passion for God) Group she founded, collecting cans of food for a Shelter. Here, her group is getting ready to pass out snack bags they put together for the homeless. The day before it was almost 80. This day it was snowing, raining and in the low 30's.

This is what they put in the snack bags......
Caleb's school is having a "Spirit Day" and giving a prize to the kid who wears the most green. He's GOT to win!

More Birthday Pics......

Mom, looking to the stars................. Uncle Jr, thanks for coming. You are always a blast to have around. And all my lights work now!

Here are pics from where we went out to eat for my Birthday. We went to an old house in the Canyon that was turned into a Lodge/Restaurant. This dog belongs to the owner. He looked like he wanted to eat us on our way in, but Caleb sure made friends with him on the way out.

Me and my Mommy!



Mom, the camera is this way......................




Heidi and all her hard work! She really pulled it off! She even got grounded in the process. I caught her hiding in the laundry room and talking on the phone. I got so mad and took her phone away. How was I supposed to know she was calling and inviting people to my Surprise Party? Sorry Angel!
P.S. Noone told Caleb until right before the party. He's not that good at keeping secrets.







Surprise!!! Happy Birthday To me!!

Heidi and Roger planned a Surprise Birthday Party for me and flew my Mom in for the week. You can see her sneaking in behind us. My Uncle Jr. flew with her and we all had a great time while she was here that week. Me and Roger......
This is what happened when I turned around and saw my Mom.....

Caleb Update....

Caleb has made a smooth transition into Jr. High School! We are really proud of hm, how he comes home and sits at the counter to do his home work without even being told to. This is a MAJOR improvement from last year! He is busy at home caring for 4 little Mini-Pin puppies his dog; Lola had. Caleb mentioned the other day he thought he would like to start learning how to play golf. So, maybe that will be something we look in to. Tiger, watch out!

Heidi Update!

Heidi is doing well with her Homeschool. We are learning some of the curriculum we ordered is not what we thought and have ordered some new ones. Some of her old friends do not understand her decision to homeschool and think she will be bored to death and not have much social interaction. Since homeschooling, I have worn the tread off my tires! She is involved in so many different things... At church she was placed in Leadership and is over the Youth Outreach Ministry. She has meetings 3 nights a week at the church (which is 14 miles one way!) Thank God for another Mother whose son is also in Leadership that lives close to us and we carpool. She is also the Teacher's Assistant for her former Math Teacher that is now teaching 3rd and 4th grade at a new Christian School 2 days a week. Her first day he had her teaching English to the 3rd Graders. She is really enjoying it. Her name was also given to a Mother at our church who has an adopted 8 year old daughter that suffers from Extreme Detachment Disorder and would like Heidi to be her "Buddy" and spend time with her. In addition to this she is doing her horse therapy with disable children. So any of you that thought Heidi would be bored with Homeschool rest assured she is not! She is enjoying every minute of it.

Memorial Service....

The School had a memorial service for Heidi's friend that drowned. That was a tough day! His parents were able to get an emergency Visa and flew in the night after the Memorial Service. After school yesterday a group of kids went from the school to the reservoir and placed a wreath on the water. It's hard to understand how a life can be cut so short; but makes you realize you are not promised tommorrow and that your life had better be right with God.

Tragedy Strikes Class Mate!

Heidi lost a good friend yesterday in a terrible accident at a local reservoir. Jeong Hwan Jee a Senior at Christian Heritage and a Foreign Exchange Student from Korea drowned while swimming with a church Youth Group. Our prayers go out to his family in Korea and his Host family here in Utah.
