Bovay 2008

HEY WE ARE BACK
What a week end we had at bovay.
Story one

Bailey finally knows how to ride a bike. YES he is seven and i know he should already know how well we didn't buy him a bike until a few months ago and he has never really been able to ride it . Well he learned the hard way at the Bovay camp . They had a small BMX track. Well after hitting the traffic sign and barn (head first) and running away from the guy Nick because he didn't know how to use the brakes............gotta to say now he knows how lol.

Story two

Bailey has learned how to semi swim in a deep pool and fly off the sides and slide by him self.


Story Three

Julie (ME) MADE IT THREW half OF THE TUNNEL (lost mine) yeah me. So next year i hope i can get the guts to go all the way threw with out freaking out lol


WE had a blast its amazing to me how its only hour and half away and the weather is so different and pretty . I cant wait until next year. My son came back a totally different child. He learned soooooooooo many things. I wish all parents would step up to the plate and let their child decide if they want to do this or not (scouts) . It's very rewarding and it makes the boys be more indepent and mature.


Ok off to recovery i am BURNED LOL
Juliet

Ps Camp food was great lol

July

HEY there,

Hope everyone is doing well. I am recovery from my training this week in cypress. OH WOW i have learned SOOOOOOOOOOO much from , learning to make peanut butter sandwiches threw excerise and useing your body parts , to blowing up milk and food colors......... YES i am a teacher and so i have the right to act like a child in class and learn from my crazy ideas. lol
As a teacher we must make our lifes and the students we touch threw our classroom with fun , exciting learning even if it requires messy stuff, to screaming and moving noises. I so cant wait too see my students and introduce them to the exciting new ideas and plans i have for them. It was soooooooooooo good to see my kids (they stayed with granny for the week) when i am away from my kids i feel lost. I was so glad to see them on thurs. I spent some extra time with them on friday and today and tomorrow we will just play and enjoy each other. I have came back with a awesome feeling in my body and soul now . We listen to great speakers and christian comedy. It was so good to spend time with my co workers. I felt like we bonded great and i think we will have a exciting year ahead of us.

We are prepareing for our Bovay trip (camp) this upcoming week . I am so excited i have never camped like this before so its going to be alot of sweat, texas heat but over all its going to be SO WORTH IT . I love my little scouts and i cant wait till the year starts so we can exlpore the wolf year together.

Well thats about all I will be celebrating my 31st birthday this week (YIKES) . YES i feel my age but i dont regret one thing of those years. I am soooooooooo blessed to have great friends, awesom family and a great marriage and THE BEST KIDS IN THE WORLD (in my eyes ) . So as you grow older and wiser just remember God gave you these years of life and so go and treasure them and celebrate every year that you have been alive and healthy .



LOVE YOU ALL
JULIET

Do you have a friend ?

When i ask that i am not asking you just any friend i am asking That special friend. I have one and no matter how low i get or how high i get in they are always there to bring me up or down with laughter, love, caring and just flat out a great friend. This is a friend who i can call and say hey lets go to best buy (they arent big into girly stuff lolol) and they will getup and go . IF i need computer worked on this person is RIGHT THERE. This person knows basically everything about me and more . I have known this person since college and we have always been able to share things together. The person i am refering to is Vinson, He is just a great guy all the way around. He is like a brother i never had, a friend that i can tell anything to a friend i can argue with and i still win (right vinson) . Poor guy came over last week three days in a row and we picked on each so much you could see the horns coming out of his head. But he was a trooper and dealt with me because i was a kid who wanted her LAPTOP NOW and didnt understand why it was taking so long. With all the questions i asked HE never got mad,,,,,,,,,,, he probably was ready to kill me but we are friends if you cant bug each other a little then why be friends. We have shared laughter, death, birth , college days, and more and i will always know i have a friend deep down in my heart that i know i can call FRIEND for life LOVE YOU LOTS JULIET Ps to Vinson ,,, NO i am not going to love war craft after i publish this post lolol

Clean house

HI friends,


Well we had a very productive weekend. We de cluttered our closet (YIKES). I never knew you could collect sooooooooo much stuff in about two year frame. Then we rearranged my bedroom and living room and kitchen so we were bussy. But it was a good busy and now my house is very clean and spotless. I cant stand clutter so how my closet got so clutter is beyond me lol. But we threw away old clothes, holiday stuff, some of my scrap booking and teaching stuff. stuff i bought and never used. Russell got rid of some child hood memories stuff (nothing with value ) So we are very excited its like a new home again lol.


Hope you are all doing well on this Monday I took kids to park and ran to the store . Then we came home to watch ET and paint sun catchers. So they are happy plus they will see their granny today . OK off to dig in my coupons . TTYL

Daily lifes

Hi friends,

Well i was asked to do a eulogy at friend's funeral on wed. I was so honored to say yes but worried i will mess up or dont have the right things to say . But i know in my heart the lord will be with me and that family that day . I know i am not alone when i go to stand up and speak because i have a great lord above who is always with me and you threw our daily lifes.

I cleaned house today and spent alot of time with family and laughing and giggling etc with the kids. its always good to see them laughing and having fun as a family . I hope you were able to spend time with your family this weekend and enjoy the things that the lord gives us in our daily lifes.

As i am closing i want to ask that you go and spend a few mins on what god has done for you in your every day lifes. and share it with those who dont know him as well as you do . You never know when someone you speak too is going to need that chat with ya. We go on our daily lifes but sometimes we dont realize some people are just waiting to talk to someone or needing to reach out to them. RIP LISA O


Love always

Juliet

Death

HI ,
I come with a sad heart today . One of my friends has passed. I am lost with words. Today i go visit the family and i just pray i have the right words to say . Its so hard to loose someone who is so close. I remember when my father passed its still so fresh to my memory to this day . Sometimes i just sit and say Why lord. i know we aren't suppose to ask why because he has his reasons but some times its so hard. But i know My father is in a special place now and one day i will be there.

Death isn't a easy thing to deal with Most of all of us has been threw it . SO before its too late make sure you say everything to the ones you love and share every minute you can with your loves ones because before you know it the lord will take us and put us in a better place.

have a great weekend
Love
Juliet


RIP LISA P

Juliet

Sharing a recipe a friend in New York sent me . I am not sure if i will ever make it but she swears its yummy lol.


ENjoy
BEAN BARS

2 cups cooked beans [chichi, kidney, pinto, or navy beans] Instead of buying and cooking the beans, I used a 15.5 oz can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed 3 times.
2/3 cup dried milk
1 cup wheat flour
2/3 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 egg whites, beaten
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup molasses
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1/3 cup olive oil [I used canola oil]
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon allspice
1 cup raisins

1. Mash beans into a paste.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients.
3. Stir to mix.
4. Pour into 8 x 8 pan
5. Bake at 350 degree oven for 40 minutes.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
You can also use pears or other fruit to replace the applesauce.

I put all the ingredients, except the flour and spices, into my blender and made the paste out of it. Then I mixed the flour and spices together and put them into the blender, along with the raisins. Blended all that well.

This is very good, taste like a spice cake with raisins in it.

Good moring

Good morning

Just stopping by to say hello. I am cleaning house and getting ready for our day camp for scouts. I am doing crafts (indian stuff) so its going to be alot of fun. I hope this post finds you healthy and wise. Enjoy the beauty of the nautre today . Go out into nature and see his beauty that he has created for you and me.


Living for Him,

HI there

Well i know its been a veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy long time since i posted here. Thought i would just drop a few lines since i know some still read this crazy thing.

We are all doing so well i can only thank god for keeping us going. HE works in so many ways in our life's some times i just sit back and watch. I had decided a while back i wasn't going to journal online but i have decide i would give it a try again . But i think i will keep this more of a every day type post (things that are open) and keep my personal blogging to my kids journals that i started when they were babies.

I want to shout out to all the father's HAPPY FATHERS DAY. Please give your children's all your attention . That's one thing i will always have a long for My father who isn't with me . SO some times i look up to certain ones who are father figures just to have that feel of love from a father. I love my dad so much and it was a very short 21 years of life with him but i will cherish every minute second and hour and day and year that i had with him. He died with a big heart and so i know he lived a full life. HE will always be in my heart . SO if you are reading this Be strong and be there for your children. I LOVE YOU DAD (RIP )
Happy fathers day to you all and also my father and grandfather



Well i will post again tomorrow or this week i have scouts camp all week .

Love always
Juliet
