Backpacking update








The boys made it home safely. They had a great time. Funny part is, they were home the very next day! They were running out of matches and would not be able to eat without a fire. I have a feeling it was harder than they thought.

Our Beloved Layla

Broken Hearts in our Home’ When I first come to consciousness in the early morning hours lying in bed, my mind runs a check on everyone in our household. Husband-closet light on must be getting ready for work still, our oldest son-hmm... oh yea he was in bed before I was, has works at nine, youngest son- over at a friend’s , dog- hogging way to much of the bed, horses- and I stop… I see three in my mind's pasture and a blank spot under a tree. Our beloved Layla is gone. The colorful ball of boundless joy in our pasture. She had more personality than any horse we have ever owned. Her spirit was happy go lucky, non confrontational, pet me, love me, let me in the house kind of horse. The most comical, quirky girl. She could be across forty acres and hear her name, her head would pop up over the grass and she would come bounding across the pasture like a dog when you come in from work. I know if she could have wagged her tail she would have. She was our baby, the most vibrant, ...

Zep 3:17 The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. Our 17 year old, Tanner and a friend of his, have been talking about and planning on going backpacking in the Rockies for the last two weeks. He has given me material to read to make me more comfortable with the idea. I have read every word of the printouts. He was warming me up to the idea. My husband, his father, knows Tanner is fully capable and does not live in fear like most moms do when it comes to our children. I too, know that Tanner is very capable to survive on his own in the wilderness. However, I don’t like it! I won’t be there to protect him from stupid mistakes, like leaving out food for the bears to smell or making sure his fire is out so he does not burn down the forest and end up in handcuffs! Or dehydrate, drink unsanitary water, get eat up by mosquitoes, encounter wild vicious animals, get lost, stru...

It’s happening! God is on the move again! After a season of country living in Texas we are going back to Colorado. We are excited to say the least. This time we will be bringing four horses with us. It will be a blast to ride them in the foothills of beautiful Colorado.I will be so happy to be back in civilization! No more Texas sized grasshoppers waiting for me to take a walk in order to dive bomb me! My car will stay clean (well till it snows). I love Texas because it is in my blood but I love Colorado because it’s just so lovable! It’s a mixture of the old west, urban living, mountains, foothills and plains. The weather is just incredible with four distinct seasons, and most of the living is outdoors. It has more sunshiny days than California. Yes,the people are friendly, not southern hospitality friendly but very welcoming, and allot of fun. It actually feels like we are going home. Jeremiah 29:11, I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper and not to harm… says the Lo...
