At the lake
So, We went on a youth trip to the lake today. It was a very beautiful day to go it was 86 degrees. The kids were all having fun in the water then after lunch the majority of the kids wanted to go on a trail off into the woods. I figured they wouldn't go far. Rose a friend of mine was nervous because she hadn't been on the trail before. I wasn't so nervous because Nathan was going and I really didn't figure that he would let them go far before wanting to come back. Well and HOUR later... no children. I started getting worried so I walked about a quarter mile up the trail.. yelled... no answer.. alittle farther... nothing. At this point I prayed. I didn't feel relaxed so now Im really concerned!! I came to a point where the trail forked off and had no idea which way they would've went. So I turned back to see if someone would come with me I met up with a couple of the yw coming to help me. so we set off again and were able to follow their footprints in the mud in sporatic areas. When the prints cut off from the trail one of the girls decided to go back to see if they were back... of course at this point I realized I should have brought my cell phone.... HELLO! Well by this time I am pretty much barely holding it together... luckily Pearl was with me or I would have been histerical! We followed the prints and realized that they were following a rough trail because we saw markers on the trees. Also by this time my voice is hoarse from screaming their names. Well it appeared as though they were following the trail around in a circle when we could hear the people at the lake again we figured it would be best to just get back as fast as we could to see if they made it back. So we made a bee line toward the sounds and we then ran into the yw who turned back and she said they were back.... UGH!! I have not been so petrafied in my life! They didn't even realize anything was wrong... *Shakes head* anyway.. one of the boys that went with them had been on the trails before.. had I KNOWN that I wouldn't have worried!! They had actually gotten back 20 minutes after I had left... anyway, I am so grateful for my kids and gave them all big hugs when I got back!

Less than 2 weeks...
So, Martin starts High school this year!!! How is that even possible!?!? *sigh* I'll have to come to terms with that eventually... My most anxiety provoking concern is Lexi's 12th Birthday party... We have already done bowling and skating.. what else is there to do in a podunk town in Maine?! If anyone has any suggestions pass them on!! I only have 2 weeks!! Then 3 weeks later Nathan turns 8! YAY! He can't wait to start Cub scouts and be baptized! My mom will be here for that I hope!! Sometimes I just feel so out of it... Maybe it's the summer.

This is me!
You Are Aurora! (A.K.A. Sleeping Beauty.)
Thoughtful and loving. Authority figures probably have been sheltering you all of your life. Thankfully you're a very tranquil person who is content with what life has given you, but secretly you want to know how the outside world works.
Which Disney Princess Are You?
Which Princess are you? This one is Lexi
Free-spirited and wise. You have a strong passionate spirit that touches and changes all who know you. The wisdom and common sense that you have is really what guides you through life. Even so, you also have a very playful side that loves adventure and excitement.

7 months!! Wow, I only have 2 months to lose all this "baby" fat?! Yikes! ;) He is soo worth every pound! He has such a personality. He definately knows what he wants and will let you know if you get it wrong. He adores Lexi and Martin, he just lights up when they are around. He adores Nate also, but it's more a one way street on that one still. As a side note I am not looking forward to school starting... He is going to be soo sick of me! :P
