Well I wasn't here for the BIG GAME this weekend but the two Imperial teams played each other. Matt said it was a good game and that both teams played well. The end result was that our team LOST! BUMMER!!! Oh well such is life. I don't have any pictures to post since I wasn't there and neither was Janelle so no pictures this week. This Saturday is the last game. It is so hard to believe that the season is over! TOO SAD!!
This is the great group of ladies that went with me to Lake City Colorodo this weekend!
This is us upon arriving at the retreat center!
This is us leaving! This came all too soon!
What a wonderful time we had! God really did an amazing work in all of us and it was great! We really bonded together well. It was so neat to watch God move and touch our lives in such a mighty way! PRAISE GOD!!! Pray for us that God would continue to make us into the honorable vessels that He has called us to be!
Well this will be my last post for the week. I am taking a group of 8 ladies besides myself and we are headed to a Women's Retreat on the Western Slope of Colorodo. We are headed to Lake City Co for the weekend. We leave Thursday morning. PLEASE pray for us! Pray for our safety and pray for our families safety as we are away. PLEASE pray for each lady that is attending. The theme of the retreat is Vessels of Honor. The theme scripture is 2 Timothy 2:21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work, My prayer is that each of us will realize that we are sanctified and we are set apart unto good and for the purpose that He desires of us! PLEASE pray that all of our lives will be touched by God, that we would purify ourselves of the sin that is in each of us and that we would be those Vessels of Honor that He has called us to be! My utmost prayer is that God is honored and glorified through this weekend and that we all draw nearer to God as He draws near to us! Have a great weekend and May God Bless Each of You! Love you guys! Kristy
Well this weekend we had a double header soccer game. We had a makeup game from the weekend before that got cancelled due to weather. We played our regular scheduled game at 10:15 in Ogalalla and we won that game like 6-0 or something like that. I don't do well at keeping score. I start loosing track. Then we had a break and the kids hung out and waited for the next game that was set for 1pm. They played this game and won it as well! The score was like 5-0 or something like that. It was a great weekend and Matt and I are proud of all the kids! They are having a great season. I am going to a Women's Retreat this weekend and will miss the boys game. UGGGH!!! This is the biggest game of the season. It is against the other Imperial team and they are definetly our rival team. They are a great team but then again we have a great team too! I will be anxious to hear the results of the game. I hope they tie! That would be great but I am not sure they can tie I think they would have to keep playing till someone gets a final goal!
The below slide show is a tribute to Stanford. We have friends who found two baby coons and will attempt to raise them. Raising a coon is the best thing ever. It is an emotional thing to release them though. They are one of the best pets EVER!!! As you notice in the pictures Stanford was very attached to all of us but I was his momma. From very early on he accepted my finger as a pacifier and even until we had to release him he would be running around playing and he would come running back to me find my finger and suck on it get his comfort and then head back out for more playing! He loved the swimming pool and doing anything that the boys and or Shotgun were doing. They play HARD! We LOVED Stanford and Bandit our FIRST coon!
ENJOY The pictures!!
Austyn has been working on his own blog. Check it out at http://austynscorner.blogspot.com/

This is our cat Tripod. (she has 3 legs) She is our longest surviving cat. She is hillarious. Tripod loves cows and if you don't see her it is because she is with the cows. Well this winter we put the cows out on cornstalks at the Prosser's and so we have seen her alot this winter. Well the cows and the babies started coming back this week and we haven't seen as much of her. The boys went out in the pasture to play today and guess who they saw...yep that's right Tripod. She hung out with them while they were playing out in their fort.
This is Bubba in their fort
Well here is this week's update. Last Saturday the soccer games got cancelled so we had a week off of soccer. The boys were all WAY BUMMED! Even the BIG BOY was sad! I started getting sick on Tuesday night at Women's Bible Study. I wasn't feeling bad but I was just cold and then by Wed night I was really feeling not so good. I spent all of Thursday and most of today in bed. I am feeling much better! I still have a sore throat but I am feeling way better!
Okay here it goes. You HAVE to watch the below video of the song Me and Jesus. It is such an awesome reminder. How many of us have felt alone?? How many of us wonder if anyone loves us? How many times do you feel as if all the bridges have burned? How many times do you feel like NO ONE understands? How many times have you doubted?? Did you know someone loves you and He is there waiting for you. He loves you and He wants to be there for you!!! I love you too! In order to listen to this video you will need to go the bottom of this page and pause the music player so that you don't have 2 things playing at once. Hit the stop button at the bottom music player and then come back up to the video and press play and ENJOY!!! REMEMBER SOMEONE LOVES YOU....YOU GOT ME AND JESUS!!! WHOOHOOO!!!
This is Austyn building his snowman.
Bubba loves to bake and he is always begging too. Tonight he made chocolate chip bars.
Matt is being his mischevious self....preparing to ambush his next victim.
Today was a sad day. Shotgun used to love to play with Austyn in the snow. So Austyn was trying to train the new puppies to play with him.
This is Austyn and his completed snowman. As you can tell Bubba decided to stay in the warm house. The wind is HORRIBLE and it is nasty cold outside.
I forgot to take pictures but one of our memory making activities today was...JUICING!
I am trying to ease everyone into it so we started off by making Carrot/Orange Juice and then we made Strawberry/Bananna Smoothies and then Carrot/Apple Juice and Orange/Bananna Smoothies. Next time we will move onto more adventurous stuff. Okay we are off to watch a movie together!
This is what SNOW DAYS are all about!!! Get on the comfy cozy jammies, comfy toe socks, and grab a cup of coffee and it's a day to make some memories!
We are in a Winter Storm Warning. I still can't figure out this Nebraska weather....One day it is a beautiful sunny day and the next it is snowing.
They are calling for 5-7 inches by the time this storm passes tomorrow evening. We will see if that happens.
These geese are silly they have shelter but they like to be out in the midst of whatever is happening.
Snow is so pretty though!
HI! Just wanted to let each of you know that we appreciate your prayers for Bubba. He has been fever FREE for 5 days! He is taking a while to bounce back. He was down for 5 days with a high fever so it is understandable that he is still not up to par. He didn't practice much in soccer last night so he is trying to ease himself back in. He has a horrible cough and I am really hoping it is not the 100day cough that I keep hearing about! THANKS FOR THE PRAYERS!!! We appreciate it!! Love each of you!!
Austyn and Bubba in their bumper cars!!! I was corrected...they are go carts. NO BUMPING ALLOWED!!!
The boys and Aunt Sharon and Uncle Shaun. Good times!!! The boys and Grandma in her backyard.
The Above LEFT picture is when we first arrived at Grandma's house. We had been traveling ALL night. The next picture is Aunt Sharon and Bubba at Sharon's new house. The next picture is Bubba with Great Grandma Jewett. (my mom's mom) and then the next picture is Shaun hitting grandma in the bumper boats.
This next one is what they looked like after being on the bumper boats....HOW FUN!!!!!!!
The boys had a GREAT time staying with Grandma while Matt and I and the Prosser's and Jordon were at the pastor and leadership conference in Tucson!!
This is Austyn with Daisy and Hazard. Today has been such a beautiful day! We got to open all the windows in the house and let the nice breeze come in! Maybe it will blow out all the sickness in this house??? I hope......
These are some of my chickens. We are now getting up to a dozen eggs a day. Usually less but up to that many! YEAH!!!
Austyn made a contract with his dad to wash his semi every weekend! Here he is working on it! What a great day to do this!
I forgot to add this earlier. Bubba has been sick since Monday. He has had fevers up to 104.2 on several occassions. My kids have never had fevers this high! I took him to the doctor yesterday and she tested his blood and found he has a bacterial infection. So he is on antibiotic and we hope to have him better soon.
The below slide show is pictures from our Easter Sunrise Service. It was a VERY COLD morning! It was so awesome though! People took turns carrying the cross up to a high point at the lake and then we had our service there. It was AMAZING! So neat!!!!!!
My friend took this awesome action shot of
Austyn. Austyn is usually in the goalie box
but he got out to play on the frontline a bit.
It is excitng this year because both boys are
on the same team. So we are enjoying that!
