EASTER

He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed. This year for Easter, Eddie was deacon all day so we didn't have a family dinner. Eddie was nice enough to get the turkey started and I invited the neighbor's over. Eddie joind us later that evening. We had a great time fellowshipping with the neighbors. Danny was over for a bit. He caught a 5 1/2 foot Gopher Snake. I asked him to release it somewhere other than San Vicente Terrace. LOL Hopefully it won't make it back to our yard. I am afraid that Ryan will try to play with it. He is a very brave young boy. We experienced the earthqake and had a good time explaining to the children what an earthquake is. The boys were a bit shaken up, but I told them there is no reason to be afraid when GOD is in control. The calmed down after that. We have to be a bit cautious with Tyler, the oldest, he is a bit like MOM. He gets anixiety very easy. So we have to be cafeful how we word things. He worries just like me as well. Oops.

BOOT CAMP @ Mountain View Community Church

This year I requested to be off from work during my children's Spring Break. It makes no sense to have to pay for school tuition plus extended care and then for the extra pay during these holidays when I have 3 weeks of vacation on the books. So, I am no loger going to feel guilty about staying at work. I will take ALL the Legal Holidays off and spend these days with my FAMILY. I signed both boys up for BOOT CAMP here at my church, Mountain View Community in Ramona. This is Vacation Bible School that they hold each year during the kids Spring Break. It goes from 9am to 12 noon each day. What a glorious time for myself and the boys. This year was Ryan's first year. Both boys had so much fun. The committee who put this together (Heather & Jason Winters) did such an amazing job. The obstycle courses were so cool. The boys mentioned to dad and I the first day, "Dad, can you turn our backyard into a BOOT CAMP with obstycle courses like they did at church?" WOW, to see them so excited to go each morning was amazing. I am so blessed to be part of a great church. The music was so awesome! The skits were so realalistic and the kids actually got it. Of course our professor Peanut Tyler is Mr. Know it All, but Ryan, he actually got it and was there understanding GOD's word. To see them so excited about GOD excited me. Dad was able to attend on Friday and he enjoyed it. Thank you so much to Jason and Heather for all there time and talent that they spent organizing this wonderful event to the public! You are awesome! And of course to all the volunteers who spent each day with all the kids teaching them. To all the ladies who checked the children in each day. Without you, it would not be possible.

ACCIDENT

So I rear ended a young girl in March on my way home to pick up Ryan from pre-school. She was trying to avoid a head on collison in the middle of the intersection on Hwy 67 and Dye Road. Our traffic light was green and she slamned on her breaks. Luckely we were only going around 3 miles an hour and didn't do much damage to her car at all. She wasn't driving with a license and her dad just baught the used car not even 5 minutes ago. At first they didn't want to exchange information, but I insisted. In the meantime the lady who ran the red light came over to apologize and she offered to pay any deductable that would occrue. That was nice of her, not everyone would stop. Well it has been already 2 weeks and they have not made any arrangements for there car to be fixed. How interesting. I chipped 3 areas of paint off her bumper and minimal damage to my Expedition. Thank goodness for sturdy, rubber bumpers. The insurance company mentioned that if they do not make arrangements for repairs that the claim would be cancelled. I am glad that no one was hurt. Tammy
