Whew!

Well, let's just say...lot's going on in our crazy filled house!   Here is my top 10! 

1.  Brother Troy, bone marrow biopsy negative for cancer...Yeah!  Thank you Jesus!  We found out last week, he was able to share the great news with his fellow State Troopers at his fundraising dinner last Thursday night.  About 600-650 people attended the Dinner-Silent Auction...he was surprised by many relatives that traveled 4 hours for supper.  Another fun thing was that some young guys (now older) that he pulled over 10 years ago, saw his story on the news and they came to the dinner to show support...I want to know if he gave them a ticket or let him off easy?  Great night!

2.  May15, we celebrated Seble and Syfah joining our family...7 years ago!!  Wow!  Where has the time gone? They are growing up so fast!  They have blessed us!

3. "Live It To The Max,"  A musical-drama performed by the Cambridge Christian School 7th & 8th Graders...it was great!  Syfah was a Disc Jockey also known as "Coyote Man."  He was a natural and "howled" his way through the production.  Corbin was a "free spirit" advocating for "Save The Unicorns."  She was as ditzy as they come and had a great time.  It was a great play with a great message!
A few of the students provided the "intermission entertainment."  Shelby and Josh got the crowd going by singing, "Marry Me by Bruno Mars," ....it was hilarious and cute!

4. We only have 2 days left of school!! I am so not ready for........(see #7)

5.  "Pleased as Punch" at this girl of ours!  She received "WARRIOR OF THE YEAR" award along with Sarah Solomon at the Cambridge Christian School Sword Ceremony on Tuesday night!  Great Friends that deserve this honor!

6. Came home to a wet basement (just in the laundry room)...washer gasket has a whole...water came out the front-loading door....guess what!  Sears can't come out until June 14th...after a few phone calls and no satisfaction..I even whined about getting ready for an open house and I exaggerated as to how many kids we have...got no sympathy..."Romeo" the Sears man told me..."everyone has a story mam."  UGGGG   ....we resorted to...Guess...Guess....Guess.....DUCK (DUCT) TAPE...SO FAR SO GOOD... ONE LOAD DONE MANY MORE TO GO..  How can a family of 8  50 go without a washer for over 2 weeks...

7.  Planning an Open House has me a "little" stressed...Thank you Troy for doing the " never ending list" of things..Thanks to my Moms and Dad for helping too!  Thanks also to my children, we only have 5 more Open Houses after this one.....I am really trying to not be crabby!!

8. Araya's choir concert- he is so cute!  We had dr. day a few weeks ago..celebrated with.."ColdStone Creamery."

9. So excited to have JULY off of work!

10. Excited to see our little girl Graduate and begin her new life!...College life!!
