New POOL

This is our new pool it is 4 1/2 feet tall and 24 feet around. Dave loves swimming in it. The kids are enjoying it also. Our old pool got to small for the boys seeing as Richard is 5'11" now and Kyle is right behind him. If it every gets in the 80's and stays warm we will have to have a pool party and homemade ice cream :) with strawberries from my garden.

Dave's SAD :(

Dave sold his motorcycle today and is very sad about it. I told him it for the best seeing as he can't ride it anymore and that it would take the temptation away also. He will be find. He was sad watching it driving away.

Dave wanted this posted

This is Dave on his motorcycle that he can't ride anymore which makes him sad :( so he wanted some pictures of him on it before he sells it.

Prayer request Update"

My mom had heart surgery this morning it started about 7:30a.m. and was over about 2:00p.m. she ended up having all four vessels replaced. She is doing good and did well throughout the surgery. I feel blessed that God has given more time with my mom. I'm hoping she feels better soon. Thank you all that are keeping my mom and our family in your prayers.

"PRAYER REQUEST"

Yesterday my mom went in the hospital with chest pains and today they told her that she will be getting open heart surgery. I' m not sure when it is scheduled yet the doctor has to come and talk to her about it. She had a cath done in March and they tried to fix it with medicine but of course that didn't work. I asked my mom if we could have just one month without any drama. So if you could all pray for her(Judy) and our family it would be greatly appreciated.

"Softball"

I'm playing softball for the church and the first game I played I hit the ball every time but could not get to first base without getting out. This week there was a BIG improvement I got to 1st base Three times and got out once. The three times I was at 1st base I actually made it all the way home. I'm very impressed with myself seeing as I haven't played since High school. This OLD body still can get around somewhat :) You'll have to come watch us play and laugh at us all. I'm playing against some of my old friends that I went to school with since 5th grade and through High school. It's weird to see people after so long people you never thought would get married or marry the people they did and have kids. There was one girl that I fought all the time in 6th grade, yes I was a fighter in school I had such a short fuse and a bad temper anyways she was at the first game and we seen each other we hugged and talked for awhile (weird) but nice. I enjoyed getting out and doing something out of the ordinary and see old friends.

Update on Life

Well it took hours and hours of talking, crying, prying him to talk and more crying but we have decided to get counseling and try to work things out we have alot to overcome with all that has changed in our life and all the new stresses. But I'm not willing to just give up on Dave and the girls. That would be the easy way out but I'm not that person. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. It dependently is going to be a long journey.

"I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO"

My world has been turned upside down. Dave and I are getting a divorce. I will moving out as soon as I can find a place to move to. Wednesday Dave was in one of his moods. One thing lead to another and Dave ended up Hitting me and then Richard my oldest had him on the ground. I'm willing to go to counseling if he would just admit to me that he hit me. He says that he didn't, so I feel that if he can't admit to it then there is no sense in going to counseling. It all started over something so stupid and he just won't give in. The girls won't even talk to me and talk about me when I'm not here (which I stay away as much as possible). I'm going around in a daze and the tension in the house is so thick you can cut it with a knife. I would ask everyone to pray but I don't know if that would even work at this point.
