Kwinnae and Tiandra

Kwinnae and Tia are getting settled in our home. We love having them with us just wish the circumstances were different. Kwinnae went for a job interview yesterday at a salon here. She liked the salon but is going to look at other options so she gets a feel for what is available. We'll let you all know where she lands so if you need a makeover you'll know where to find her. Thank you everyone for your love and support. We can feel the prayers in our behalf.

Great News for Nate

We got some great news this week! Nate got awarded a full ride scholarship to CEU
(College of Eastern Utah) His grade point average got him his tuition and his baseball scholarship will pay for his books and lodging for the year. We are very excited. It finally gives him a direction and a plan for after graduation. He is going to come to Blackfoot for the summer and work and play Legion when he can. We are very grateful and know it is an answer to prayer. When life seem so bleak remember there is always a rainbow somewhere.

Go Forward With Faith

I had a neighbor send me a card with that quote at the bottom. She will never know how it has touched my life. At least 10 times a day I think of those words "Go forward with Faith". The past couple of weeks have been very tough, probably the toughest of my life and at times I have felt I was close to breaking but there have been so many friends and family who have been there to pick us up at the those moments. This post is dedicated to all of you, who have been there for us. The simple acts of service might have seemed very small, but to me they were as if you had moved a mountain. Thank you all for your love and support. That's all that is important when it comes right down to it - Our Family and Friends!

Bears beat American Falls

Nate pitched against American Falls last night and did a great job. He is sick with a sore throat and head cold so I know he wasn't feeling his best but he went out on the mound and took care of business. The Bears won in 7 innings 7-3. It was very cold and I am anxiously waiting for some warmer weather.

Bear Lake Wins at Buhl Tournament

This weekend, the Bear Lake Boys Baseball team looked more like the team we knew they could be. They swept the tournament beating Teton, Shelley, and Buhl by more than 10 runs each. The championship game was against a team from Nevada who were a very good team. Thank heavens we went out and got a lead in the first inning because they did their best to catch up. But we came out on top with a win 9-6. Nathan hit a grand slam, a home run and 2 more hits right to the fence. He had two colleges talk to him and Coach Culver, Albertson's College in Boise and Treasure Valley. So we will keep our fingers crossed and hope for what's best for Nate.

What you say is what you get....

I knew I was in trouble. I thought it and then said it out loud and thats all it took.
I haven't been sick since we moved to Blackfoot. I haven't gotten the cold, flu...been healthy as a horse. But I said it out loud and sure enough I got what I was asking for. Who says the SECRET doesn't work. I got hit with an inner ear infection and it has been a doozy! I didn't get out of bed for 2 days and finally went to the Dr. today. So take it from me...positive thoughts ALWAYS!

I took a walk....

How lucky I am to be so close to such a perfect example of God's love. My backyard is on the Snake River. Last week the ice broke up and the river is flowing free. It is such a beautiful site. I decided that I was really missing out by not taking advantage of living so close to such a beautiful place. I went for a walk down by the river and what did I see...ducks, geese, a woodpecker, a squirrel, lots of trees and the winding river. I felt so close to my Heavenly Father. What a wonderful way to release some stress. I decided to share it with all of you. I took some pictures of things on my walk and put it on my blog. I hope you enjoy it.
