yesterday our young puppy got sick and she died overnight. This was isaiah's dog and he took care of her every day. she must have gotten into some poison or even eaten somthing that got lodged inside of her. Well the kids are kinda sad today (me to). she was a good dog. we could let her loose in the yard and she would just stay right there with us. She was also very wild and jumpy, she was alot of fun.

a new week
This week we are starting school with our kids, well i should say that kristi is starting school. She is the one that really teaches them. i teach then music on friday's and that's about it. we started a coin system in our house. if the kids finish their work on time they get a nickle, if they behave and do good things they get a penny for each one. At the end of the week they can use this money to "buy" things like, candy from the candy jar (.10) or miniuets on the wii or x box (1 cent per minuet). We are hopeing this will go good for them. especially isaiah because if he dosn't focus on his work it takes him all day when it should really only take him till noon.
We went rollerblading last night and Isaiah took the new dog. She pulled him while he rollerbladed and he thought that was soo cool. Julean took his lightning McQueen with him yesterday and he has this really big one. he calls it his "big, big Queen" he is obsessed, kristi got his a lightning mcqueen comic book and he wanted me to read it to him several times last week. Matthias is turning into a real stubborn kid. he will not eat. I don't know why but he is just not that interested in much food. Maybee we will just start feeding him candy? that should work. Adriana is doing good too. the other day she said she wanted to be a boy so she could do fun things like cut wood and work on the farm - thats daddy's girl.
Things at chamber ministries is going well. We are a little tight on our finaces for activities. I was hoping that our paintball tent at homecoming would be a good fundraiser for us but we really didn't make much off of it. WE have a couple of fundraising things coming up in October so things will just have to be a little tight till then. The ministry is going well. we are getting excited about starting the new school year and starting up PTO, and Chamber. I think we are going to call the after school program "spotlight" again.
-thats all for now.

where did the summer go?
This is the last day that my sister Renae will be here. her kids and mine have really enjoyed playing together this last month and they will surly miss them. I have Isaiah, Julean, and Matthias with me today and they are playing together really good. They have moved all the couches into a square and are playing on the all. Matthias is just joining in too. Kristi and Adriana went yard saleing today so i have the boys and the girls get to go out.
Things are starting to get really busy again too - as if they ever slowed down. The chamber and PTO start up next month. We have been having paintball outings and in October we have our corn maze. We are praying about doing chamber on death this year. I would really like to do it but i am not sure if we will have the helpers that we need. Football is starting up soon too.
I have been training for the marathon on October 17Th. I have been running alot and even biking some. That keeps me in pretty good shape but it also tires ME out.

week 4
This is homecoming week! I am in charge of the Deckerville 5k for the track team and also chamber ministries is having paintball at Wilson park. We are busy trying to get those things together and it seams like everything comes up at the last minute. All is well though. We had an amazing blessing! someone donated 900.00 dollars to fix the ac in the Chamber ministries Van! That will be a huge relief when all those kids are piled in it!
Most of my family is here this week. My brother and his two kids are here from Florida and Renae and her family is here from Texas. Rochel was here a couple of weeks ago. It is nice to see all my family in the summer. Last night we went out to the break wall at pt sanilac and jumped off. it was alot of fun. Isaiah even jumped off! all by himself. Adriana is having fun with Chloe and Carly. They had a sleep over last night and Kristi made a big tent that they all slept in.
I have been really busy lately. I am training for a marathon and we are building a garage onto our house. it is busy but things are going well for us. The Lord has really blessed us with a great family, good health, and alot of fun this summer!
