CRAZY. WEEK!

The craziness all started last Friday when the family chose to leave town to to another state to see family. We arrived at the grandparent's house shortly before midnight and immediately began to get ready for bed. Dad was using the restroom when he got a most unusual request from Mom. She asked him if he would got to the chicken coop to kill an opossum for grandmother. After shooting and hitting it three of five times, the opossum still was not dead. Grandmother put it on a burn fire and and it squirmed. They put it in a barrell and, as per word of uncle, it had to be shot again the next morning. This only began the craziness!

The next day, Dad left town to go see his dad and the family goofed off. I got to watch my baby cousin and the women went shopping. Dad came back and most of the family are dinner together. We played cards most of the day and part of the evening. Then, we got ready for bed.

Dad preached and taught class the next day. Bubba preached in the afternoon. He did a real good job. Bubba went driving with Papaw two times on the farm. He had a good time. Dad and Bubba took off for home while Mom and I stayed. The family went out for pizza. Dad and Bubba went to Lambert's and got a roll or two thrown at them. My little cousin stayed with me and we played slap jack and had a good time. The next day, Dad went to work, Bubba stayed home, and Mom and I and others went shopping. Yes, Mom went shopping two days in a row! The family went out for Chinese food. 

Tuesday, we I got to play with my little cousin all day. I am a little tired of playing with him but we had a good time. Mom and I met Dad so we could come home. Bubba stayed at a friend's house. The next day, Mom took off for a conference in another city and Bubba was still at his friend's house until late in the evening. Dad and I got to spend some time together and went to Bible class that evening. 

Thursday, Bubba and I did chores around the house while Dad worked. We ate dinner and then played Skip-Bo and I won. Yea, me! We enjoyed the time together. I was ready for Mom to come home because I was the inky girl. 

Friday, Bubba and I did more chores and we got to go with the youth group to an origins seminar in another city. We had a good time and Mom came home that evening. I was so happy. Bubba was happy. Dad was happy. We were a happy family. 

Saturday, Dad went to work and got ready to teach on Sunday. Mom and Bubba went shopping (yes, again!). I had the house to myself and I loved it. JT and I want back to the seminar with the youth group. JT liked it so much that he and his friend asked Mom to take them back today and so they are worshipping there and Dad and I are here.

We are ready for spring break to be over so we can be together again!

It's been a crazy week

A lot has been going on this week.

I(Kaylee) has not been doing good this week. I have been really sick. My tummy has been bugging me. We still haven't figured out why this is happening. My mom thinks it is just the antibiotic I have been on. But I don't think it is just that. Beside me being sick not a lot has been going on. I have also this week learned how to make my own Mac and cheese. Which is good since that is my favorite food.

JT has been doing good. He is still preaching a lot. He is still doing tae kwon do. JT and me both are still very active with the youth group. Though we haven't got to be active very much lately. He still has not gotten used the fact that I'm in the youth group. But trust me he will. I will make him.

Jeremy and Shawna both are still working on their big paper. They both are enjoy there jobs. They are very busy.  But not to busy to love their kids.

I hate the time change

Man it has been a week. It has been good. But it has been crazy.

I (Kaylee) have not had a very good week. I could not wait till weekend. I have sick some this week. I've been being sick off and on for a few months. We still do know what wrong with me. That's really frustrating me. I have went to several doctors. But it has still not stop. But the weekend was great. I had my all time best friend over. We hung out at my house.then we went to the movies. BIG MISTAKE!!!! Then we came back home at close to 1:00 am. Then we watched a movie. We went staight to bed. Wow we're we tired the next moring.

Dad has a new job now. Which is good for us. He loves it. Dad is still working on his paper he is writing.he has got back to be with the family.

Mom is still working at her job. She says she loves it. But she come home and complains. Mom really does love her job though. Mom is also still working on her paper. She has been very busy. 

Buba is working really hard. So hard he is getting recruited to colleges. He is still doing Tae Kwon do.He has been preaching too. He is preaching tonite at church as long with other guys in the youth group.

Showers of Blessings

We continue to be amazed at how awesome our God is. He abundantly blesses us more than we need or deserve. This past week, we tried to count our blessings and kept losing count! God is good all the time.

For starters, Dad finished up one job and begins a new job tomorrow. He and the family are excited about it and it is sure to be a blessing. He will continue to counsel but with a new organization. He is looking forward to it. He continues to counsel outside the organization, work on his paper, and spend time with me! I don't know how he does it but he is the best dad ever!

Mom is glad to have her car back! Since Dad had a job which required a lot of traveling, he started using Mom's more economical car but he will be using a company car with the new job so he took his car back. He did make it up to get Mom's car serviced this week so he returned her car in good condition. Mom works her job, works on her paper, keep the laundry done (I don't understand how as it seems there is so much!), and still spends time with me. She is the best Mom ever!

Bubba enjoyed his weekend in another place at a youth conference this past weekend. He returned with zeal and dedication. He continues to work with two youth groups, do tae kwon do (he will test for the brown belt later this term), and do really well in school. He was down to preach this weekend in another place but, on account of the impending weather, we did not go and he and Dad had to cancel. JT is still the best brother I have ever had!

As for me, I got to go see a movie with a friend yesterday. It was the first time I had a friend come to pick me up and I did not have to rely on my parents for transportation. It was also my first time riding in a bug. It was awesome. The movie I saw was Frozen and it was awesome. I had a good week at school as Dad picked me up from school two days and Mom picked me up the other three. No bus! Yea! Bubba and I did get to see an old youth leader of our's this week as he came to town to visit us.

We pray for our readers and ask your prayers in return.

Blessings,
