Summer fun an all that.......

So been a while since I updated our blog. I keep forgetting to actually, but here are some things we have been doing....... Dan has been working, working, and did I mention working? LOL summer is always busy for an oil hauler. Hmmm winter is to come to think of it. We thank God every day that he has a job, we know a lot of people are without that luxury and count our blessings!

Leann has been working at the Pizza Ranch here in Mandan since Jan. and this week was her last week there. She is now going to be working at our churches day care. She decided the food industry wasn't really where she wanted to be and LOVES kids so applied with the day care and got the job. No more smelling like old pizza when she comes home. Of course she will be taking care of 1-5 year olds, not sure what she will be smelling like when she comes home...LOL just kidding. Kids love her and she loves them, perfect fit for her at this moment! She is still dating Chris, her bf from Florida. She is still creating great art, we made an art book 2, but with a different site and I can't post it for some reason.

Tristen is now in the 9th grade and has a girlfriend. Big ahhhh from mom :) I love him and just can't believe he is almost 15 years old! He still loves the video game world, riding his bike, and well boy stuff. Talks non-stop about ideas and we think he is for sure going to have a great future! He is involved with our youth group at church and actually gets upset when we don't go, great change!

Samantha is well, my beautiful smart 10 year old, going on like 20 something LOL. She is very quick with thinking and lets you know when what you have done or said isn't quite right. She started the 4th grade this year and pretty much has the same classmates as last year. BIG change for her. We've moved around so much she always started with new friends the last few years. She is enjoying her class and her teacher is awesome. She seems to always get great teachers!

We started going to a church in Bismark, New Song....We all LOVE it! Maybe soon Dan can get a job closer to home and we can all enjoy it together! This is something we have been thinking about for a while, a job closer. But we are waiting and praying hard about our decisions. We have made many that never seemed right to others, but we always knew who was leading us, we depend on the Lord for all of our choices. And when and if we make a wrong one, He seems to lead us back on the right path :)
