Well, it has been going great at home schooling. Kendra is really loving it and she is getting along very good. She actually does some school work everyday. Not that I make her...hee hee. She asks to do school work on the weekends, to do research and power points. No problem, but mommy is taking the day off. Next thing I know we are both working on power points together. I am learning lot's that I didn't know I needed to know...yeah right I always need to know more.
Relearning roman numerals is very fun. As well as finding all the seeds in pine cones..what fun we have had.
Thank-you everyone for all of your prayers for us through this transition.
God Bless you all in this Christmas season as we move closer to Jesus birth and celebrate his life.
If I am not back before then have a great holiday season rejoicing all the blessings that we have. There are many of little ones everyday that we can rejoice. Fresh air, a roof, clean food...just to name a few.
With caring thoughts....LaRee

Great Transition to Come
Well today is going to be Kendra's last day of public school for a while. We will begin homeschooling on Tuesday. We talked of this over the summer and decided we would see how Grade 3 went. It was going OK but not GREAT!
Kendra really likes her teacher and will miss seeing her friends at school everyday, however we feel this is going to be a great transition. She will be able to see everyone at clubs & play dates. She will also be able to get activities that are offered during the day.
She has many friends that are involved in homeschooling, so it might be fun to have joint field trips...science world, aquarium? Any ideas?
We are both very excited about this transition and with lot's of support from family friends and God we will make it NO problems. Look forward to what the future holds.

Delayed Survivor Birthday Party
Sorry for the delay in getting the birthday party pictures up.
On October 26th Kendra invited 12 friends & family members over to...."Survivor Hope". It was Kendra's 8th birthday celebration on the 27th.
There ended up being 10 kids sleeping over....well and one friend of mine ;)
The first picture is "Team Fall", then "Team Stars", followed by a few of the challenges, including eating...."worms & dirt", Water bucket competition, Standing on one foot, standing on a square....Lot's of fun by all & NOONE was voted off, everyone won at "Survivor Hope".
I was really amazed by the fact that they were asleep by midnight and not up until 7am....Very amazing.
Oh yeah, I realized I had NO candles, but I did have long matches!! Only problem is we had to get the kids to run into the room and by the time Kendra was to blow them out there was only two candles still kinda burning....Yes, it was a total blast!
The teams went into two different rooms to try and plan their strategy. Everyone ended up leaving happy so that is what counts. The next morning after the challenges were finished, we went on nature walk and tried to find different types of mushrooms in the forest...quite interesting how many different shapes and sizes when you are looking.
Now the wheels are turning for....next year!!

Are you listening?
Well, I have been struck this past week with realization that everything that is happening right now is for a purpose. Yes, I knew this but I was not actually listening to God.
This past week I have cleaned my ears and have heard part of what He is wanting me to hear. Of course I am stubborn and don't know where it is leading (totally) but wow!
This has been a total WOW week for me. I am so happy that things are "working" Not everything, as I am still trying to have "control" but in most parts it is so neat to see.
I am still realizing how GOOD GOD is. He has taken care of our absolute every need. Times have not been that easy over the past few months, from trying to sell the house, going back to school, and even changing careers. Not to mention more custody & access stresses. Through all of this though I have felt and heard God more and more often. I have actually been feeling his hands upon my shoulders when in prayer. What a wonderful sensation!
It has taken me a long time to hear, but wow was the wait ever worth it.
More updates to follow.

God is Good!
What a powerful statement that is; "God is good!" My cousin put those exact words under a picture of herself, holding her brand new baby while her son and her looked lovingly at each other. My comment was, "Yes, God is GOOD! What a precious picture."
I have been contemplating this statement for a week now and found that as I thought more about it I been surrendering more and more of my life to God, through this past summer.
I heard on the last day of school that surrendering is probably one of the hardest things to do. Amen.
It has not been an easy summer to really focus on this either.Three offers have fallen through on the house. We have to find a home for our dog, for his own safety. Kendra has had some complications after her surgery. I've had to take a semester off school. Just to name a few.
Now when I look back on it all and know I have asked God for guidance. He always shows me that He has a better plan for me.
The right person has not come to Hope yet to buy my house, they will just not yet.
There is a bigger plan for that house and property, it might not be the right person coming to town it might be the idea for the house.
Pitch is going to a beautiful family who don't have to leave him during the day, so he will be with them all the time. All of the time and patience we put into him is making this home all that much more enjoyable. They will also keep us updated on his life.
Kendra is fine, it has made both of us ask God to heal her "softly" and "smoothly".
She even hears me now when I barely whisper "I love you" (when I think she is sleeping) and I hear this ever so quiet "I love you,too". It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about how precious she is and those are the last words she is saying before sleep.
As for school, well I have prayed long and hard about this and there are a few things that are on my heart. I am still uncertain which path God is leading me down but I will open my ears and listen.
So, again I say what a powerful statement in "God is good!" I don't know what He has in store for me or Kendra but we will trust in His word all day, everyday.

What a great time, she had!
Kendra had a blast, she was sitting watching the cars come down the road and hoping it was me...but...well, it wasn't as I had to turn around because, I forgot the camera! I couldn't possibly have shown up without it...
So, I walked into the hall and all the campers were singing and the next thing I know Kendra was throwing herself in my arms..."Mommy!" As she rambled I could barely hear what she was saying she was sooo excited. She went back to her cabin mates and counselor and didn't come back until it was all over.
We went to get her things out of the cabin and bought a "Experience Camp Squeah" t-shirt. AS we drove out she told me how she missed home but then went on to tell stories of all the good times. Counselor Phobia, rec, Chapel in the Sky, F.O.B. (flat on bunk) where she relaxed and rested.
What fun she can't wait until next year. In her journal she wrote that bible study was so fun. I agree.

Yes, I cried.
Well, yes, I did cry but not until I was driving away and saw Kendra standing outside of her cabin waving to me. She very quickly started to climb a tree outside the cabin, I am sure God had her do this so I knew she was JUST FINE. I do know this and I am well aware that she will be having a blast.
Mallory was signing her in and as we walked to the table she was greeted with smiles and her name. How great that was! Then down to talk to Britt. as I did not clarify Peanut Butter, thinking everyone knows what PB is....silly me.
SO we checked in, got Kendra's bag, pillow and sleeping bag out of the van, and walked past all of the cabins down to find her cabin. We were greeted with a smile, a puppy and Disney music....what FUN!
Of course mommy had to PEE, you know the 10 minute drive was sooo long...lol. So Kendra came with me, gave me a hug and said that she loved me, would miss me, but not really, she promised she would not FORGET me. Thank-you for that one, and before I know it it will be time for her to come home. Just as easy as that.
Well, yes, I will be working on myself this week, and really looking forward to hearing all about her mini-week and reading her journal with her. Can't wait to hear about the "Chapel in the Sky".
So I will paint, go through house stuff, and wash a few carpets, all while I pray that I have as good a week that she will have. My baby is no longer a baby and is now growing up. Her first camp, don't worry next year I will cry because it is her 1ST full week camp...I guess she will always be growing and there will always be something new that God lays before us to help us grow closer to him. Thank-you Lord for all the blessing upon us.

It is finally here. Kendra's first day of CAMP!
Well, we have been soooo excited waiting for this day to come. The bags have been packed for two days and the sleeping bag has been wrapped and unwrapped just to be wrapped again atleast 20 times.
I have cried and Kendra has been counting down the days and now hours. She has told me that it is okay, she will miss me also, but be home soon. "Honey, I am crying because you are getting so big. You are going to your first over night camp. Same one that mommy went to when I was little."
God blessed me so much with Kendra, I just am so thankful.
Well, we are just running out the door to go out and have a picnic supper, then registration.
I will let you all know on Friday how the week went.
God Bless all.

It's been a while!
Well, it has been quite a summer. We have spent a week at Christina Lake with friends from all over the lower mainland. It was a blast and all the kids got along (mostly)
From there we came back and spent some time in the lower mainland. I think we have been to the Vancouver Aquarium 4 times since April.
We spent a day down in Stanley Park, went to Gas town for dinner, and finally we headed off to "Hillary Duff". FUN! FUN! FUN! Kendra and I managed to trade our seats so that we could sit beside our friends...6 of us having fun. It was a highlight of the summer.
Kendra, I think, wants Sunday School to start even more so then regular school. We are so looking forward to September for that reason.
My faith has been tempted and I am so glad that I was able to stand and talk to some people that I respect so much from church. One said to me, " As hard as it is we have to surrender even when we want to reach out on our own." This is so true but I think one of the hardest things for me to do. I always feel like I should be the "protector" not the "protected" Another just listened and offered their support through prayer and giving me their phoned number to always call if I need to.
What a wonderful thing to belong to a hugs family that will always listen, share, or just be there. It is nice to just be you and know you are not being judged.
Well, we must get ready for church, I also need to save the cats...Kendra is dressing them up in her Tolly Doll clothes. Have a Great Day!

What A Summer, So Far!
Well, it has been quite a summer already. Friends laugh that we a re never home, so true. We have had a few trips to the Aquarium, Christina Lake for a week, Kelowna, Vancouver, off to the water slides, playland and Hillary Duff! Not sure who is more excited Kendra or myself, I think she is but it is a close race. Also, Kendra is really excited about Camp Squeah in August.
We are house sitting this week which is exhausting all in itself.
Well, I must go and do more homework. Have a great summer and we will talk to everyone soon.

Back to Normal!
Well, we are back in the regular routine. I have my first mid-term tomorrow night in Abby, I have shown the house 2 more times in the past 2 days. I am going to list it...yes, the deal fell through.
I was so thankful to get back into the regular routine this morning. I go to bible study on Tuesday morniings and this has become such an important part of my routine, that I could not wait for this morning to come. It is a time for talking, laughing and even some crying ( those that know me well, know I can do this frequently) I have felt so welcome and have made such great friends with this group of remarkable ladies. God, thank-you for letting me spend these mornings with them and absorbing their knowledge and wisdom.
This afternoon I was so excited to get a great big HUG from my daughter. She is such a sweet child and lights my life up so much.
Speaking of her I must go "do" dinner. Talk to everyone soon

Home after a long exciting trip.
Well, we made it in (10:15pm) after a long drive yesterday. Kendra was not felling good all day so we made many stops. Then we hit construction and rush hour at 2pm just south of Olympia. It took us 22 minutes to go 4 miles....we took off towards Puyallup (just south of Tacoma) and probably saved ourselves 2-4 hours. Still, we came through the boarder crossing at 9pm.
It was a very exciting trip and we had the truck unpacked within 20 minutes, although it will take us all day to sort and put everything away.
Pictures to come later today.

Leaving LA & Disneyland
Oh my, it has been a busy, busy time, so much fun and excitement.....LaRee and I have spent alot of time with Snowwhite, Belle and today Hanna Montana....
Today if I sit for any length of time I am sure sleep would overcome me.....I do believe Kendra is feeling the nap bug too.
It has been wonderful and now for the trip home...if we come to another wireless station we will let you all know how the trip is going.
Sorry about not being able to update frequently but we were misinformed by the motel re the wireless service.
Ta for now and talk soon......Joy...Nana...Mom...and then just me.

Belle of the Ball
Today was a busy one and exhausting, but what fun we all had.
We spent the morning at Disneyland, how exciting it all was! I don't think we will have near enough time. :( We came back to the hotel for lunch in our room, dip in the pool and log on to school. The last was the hardest of them all, but I am now online (probably only at night from now on).
We took a trolly ride and a ride in one of Walt Disneys' car's. But I think the best thing was.....
autograph's and dancing with Belle......
Then finally the maypole, just like Kendra's skating carnival. Only this time she was right besdie ( or behind) Belle.
What a day! We are all heading to bed, I think we are still coping from the drive. Tomorrow we are heading to Universal Studios and the we will hang out at the pool tomorrow night.
Oh I forgot, I couldn't get a picture, because of her birthday suit, but Kendra made dinner. Mom had gone to a store and got some microwave potatoes and gravy. It was not that bad, not something I would want everday but in a pinch quite good.
We will update sometime tomorrow.
LaRee
We are here.
Well, we made it last night at 6pm.
I will update more later, we are having fun finding internet access.
I have to take Kendra back to the park so I will be back and download some pictures later.
Kendra, LaRee & Joy.

Tomorrow we travel
Well, it is finally here, after years of saving, we are now heading to Disneyland. The truck is packed, the pets are taken care of (three different homes) and both mine and Kendra's homework is packed. Just waiting for a call for the house, hopefully tomorrow at noon, that is the deadline but there was a long weekend. I am not going to sweat it until wednesday night.
As I said before though God is doing everything in his time. Over the past few days he showed this even more. Yesterday, after packing, we were doing the afternoon "river watch" and I noticed that some friends of mine are selling their van. I stopped and told them that I will call as soon as I here about the house and I will take it if it is still there.
Then today at 10am, I was doing homework and my dad calls to tell me that the man to refinish my tub is in town could he come today instead of wednesday? Well, this was one of the subjects to be removed tomorrow by noon, I informed the lady it would be wednesday, but no God had his plan. At 12:01 Jim left my house and said he hopes the tub will do fine, but please don't use it for 24 hours.
So, with God working at his time, I know now that I will get the phone call tomorrow by noon and we will be happily on our way.
Oh yeah, and Kendra went on her first plane ride this weekend. Her dad took her on a water plane from Vancouver to Nanaimo for her Grandparents Anniversary ( I believe it is 40 years)
There was a mini family reunion so what a long weekend for her.
Off to bed now as I no for me it will be a fairly sleepless night, I never sleep when I am excited. Have to sleep for the first leg of the trip so I can do the night driving. Our hopes are to pull into Anaheim by 4pm.
I will update you then with some pictures of the trip down. Dad's truck has been totally overhauled so we don't expect any troubles. Cell phones, MP3 player and DS are all fully charger, so everyone can listen to different music.

So much to do.
Well, we picked up our tickets. It is so exciting to be looking at a piece of paper, not actually a ticket. This is the first actual "vacation" we have been on since before Kendra was born. Although, I have been on business trips, not that I don't enjoy those. Actually, thinking of vacations, I have been treating a lot of days lately like a vacation. God has provided so much that even when we go to skating we have been excitied about it.
I am trying to (kinda) map out our days. As we are driving, a couple of the 10 will disappear.
In the next 4....I repeat 4....days I have to:
-make sure the appraisal is complete, subjects to be removed by noon tuesday
-pack- for 2, all Kendra has on her list is 6 panties, 2 braws, mommies mp3, bateries ( her priorities are set)
-arrange animal care
-homework - check
- switch vehicles
-get flyers ( might as well work on this trip)
-try to sleep
-oh and if I have time try to start to pack and clean my house
-take Pitch to obedience training Sat. morning
-Dad's birthay
-2 assignments for my school
- get my legs waxed-ouch-
I am so glad that all this is moving on God's time ( as he keeps showing me to slow down and listen) I have become fasinated over the past few days at what I can hear when I do listen. How bright he is!
I guess I better get away from this computer and get my list completed. I have been taking Sundays off, for the past 3 weeks so I really only have 3 days.
Updated to follow...till then have a GREAT Holiday Weekend!

Finally got it!
Well, today a lot has happened. I have a lot of people to thank for all of your prayers and blessings. God, answered many prayers today and, man, does he work in his time frame, or what? Well, I have had two good nights of sleep and lots of praying for my house to sell, and for a vehicle so we can go on our trip.
Yesterday morning during bible study, around the time when a prayer request for my house to sell "quickly but in God's timing", I received a message on my cell phone from a lady wanting my house.
2PM she offered me above my original asking price, when I accepted she THEN looked at the house. The whole while I am thanking God in my head. She shooke my hand and went and made an appointment for the notary the next day. Again on my knees, I asked God if this was meant to be he will make these people not back out. 5:45pm, as I was taking off Kendra's skates and received another phone call....Oh, oh! She wants to come through the house again and sign the papers I have, we have a 12:30 appointment for tomorrow. Now, I am trying not to get excited, but I believe God will let my house sell, in his time.
8PM we are filling out papers. This lady is telling me how she saw my house in a dream for weeks.
Today, 8am, I got a hold of the appraiser and he is coming to Hope...TOMORROW! I have to mow my hay feild! It's ok, I can do it, God is lining everything up. 8:30am no go, because of the zoning. I get my taxes and find that it is C2/residential, it's a go. 9am, we are back at the house, awaiting a tree topper. She is so excited, we start talking about her plans, then move to Jesus and how he is our saviour.
10 am, the tree topper comes by, as she is talking to him, I notice a landscaper go by. He couldn't come until next week, he kept driving, around the block and back again. My breathe was taken away. Thank-you, Lord. I am stunned by the speed in which he is lining everything up.
12:30 we sign papers in the notary office.
What a day, then I was reading other blogs, which I have been trying to respond to for months. What a great end to an exciting day! I respond and even learned how to POST.
Oh, I forgot to mention my dad will lend me his truck to go to Disneyland, as mom's car is not even back in Hope yet to be repaired.
What a wonderful God we have, he has put everything together, in his time.
Yesterday morning during bible study, around the time when a prayer request for my house to sell "quickly but in God's timing", I received a message on my cell phone from a lady wanting my house.
2PM she offered me above my original asking price, when I accepted she THEN looked at the house. The whole while I am thanking God in my head. She shooke my hand and went and made an appointment for the notary the next day.
