CRAZY....

That is one word that describes my schedule. I plan to post a photo of my nonexistent kitchen. I am using my husbands, since my laptop is having some problems again. Anyway, we are either eating out or using the microwave for all of our meals. Zach is already saying he doesn't want any more fast food. My home is a construction zone from 9am-6pm every day. Thankfully tomorrow- Sunday- no one will be working and we have the home to ourself. Our sweet neighbors invited us to dinner. So thankful for such good friends!

I LOVED today. I was able to go to Zach's baseball games. I love the other mom's and look forward to seeing them. I love to see Zach doing what he loves. The team won both games- and since we are now playing up- 11-12U- it is really good for us.

I helped with the church 5K trek run this morning. One of my friends, Kathleen came up to me and said she saw me in a national magazine. I said, oh what scrapbook magazine??? She said- no it was one of those "entertainment magazines"and it was with David Archuleta. I was baffled, because I never got my photo taken with David on Friday. So I figured she was mistaken. Then tonight, I was looking at the People magazine for this week- May 26th. I got to the page about the three American Idols home visit. They show David in the photo and YES- it's me in the crowd of people. That is what I get by being in the front row. It is the MOST unflattering photo- you know the one you take that you would delete or rip up!!! HA! You can also see in the stands behind me- my son Ty. He is standing with both hands in the air (wearing orange shirt). So I read the magazine and laughed that of all the photos they took and could feature (how crazy that I am in the photo!). Go DAVID A.!!!!!

I am teaching the young women in church tomorrow so I better finish my lesson. Taylor also graduates from our church seminary program tomorrow night. (They go to a class with people their own age, for one hour every day during high school. They learn about the Lord, the scriptures, and developing their Christlike attributes). She is giving a talk to the senior graduates. So thankful for her and her willingness to do this. Taylor was asked to talk about what church seminary has meant to her and things she has learned. Taylor said, she plans to focus on not what she learned, but how she will LIVE what she has learned during her high school years. I had a proud mama moment. It's one thing to KNOW what you need to do, and another thing to LIVE it. I'm constantly humbled by my kids. They remind me of my weaknesses and that I need to try harder to do better.

Thank you Taylor for always inspiring me to do more, share more and be more . 

I'll update soon with photos and such. I want to thank Creating Keepsakes Japan for featuring me in this months magazine. I wish I could read the article about me. I'm so incredibly humbled and thankful for the support.

Have a great weekend!!!!

Did you make it on air that you have seen? I still have it on my DVR, will have to slow it down and look again! I'm with ya sister on remodeling... did our downstairs in October, put hardwood floors, new doors, painted and tile in foyer and kitchen... it sucked, but it's so much nicer now! Praying you'll get thru it without too much hairloss!! Kristin~TX
