Kindergarten Graduation

Our last child is moving on to full day school! Lucy celebrates her Kindergarten graduation and we are amazed how time flies! Here is a picture of Lucy and her wonderful teachers...

Lucy's good friend from our neighborhood, Sydney. They will look forward to playing at our pool this summer!

Field Day

Morgan enjoyed the last few days of school but it was bittersweet as mom will miss having Morgan in her class next year. It was a great year for the whole family! Here Morgan shows off some skills with the hurdles...
Not to be out done, Betsy shows off her track skills from High School :) This was the favorite event of the day. A different take on beach volleyball!

All-Star Tournament

Morgan was invited to play in her 10u fast pitch softball all-star tournament. She got the game ball for MVP in her All-Star tournament but what we are most proud of is she also was awarded the sportsmanship ribbon by the other coach and she told them that another teammate deserved to receive it and she gave it to her. We are so proud of Morgan!

Rush Hour

Not that kind of "rush hour" but instead Rush Hour is a family-centered Sunday morning experience at RMCC (Rocky Mountain Christian Church) that is virtue-driven. Rush Hour uses music, drama and storytelling to entertain, teach and inspire. Morgan auditioned in the fall and made it as a Crew member. She acts out the motions and dances on stage with the worship team to praise God. "Rush Hour is Where Kids Bring Their Parents to Learn"

Lucy's 1st soccer game

Lucy played her first game of soccer this Saturday and loves it. Lucy likes action sports and enjoys playing offense. She scored the first goal of the game and of her career (daddy is already thinking scholarship, ha).

12 Year Anniversary

I love you Betsy!

Proverbs 31:10-31 (New Living Translation)

A Wife of Noble Character

10 Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies. 11 Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.

13 She finds wool and flax and busily spins it. 14 She is like a merchant’s ship, bringing her food from afar. 15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.

16 She goes to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She is energetic and strong, a hard worker. 18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable; her lamp burns late into the night.

19 Her hands are busy spinning thread, her fingers twisting fiber. 20 She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy. 21 She has no fear of winter for her household, for everyone has warm clothes.

22 She makes her own bedspreads. She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns. 23 Her husband is well known at the city gates, where he sits with the other civic leaders. 24 She makes belted linen garments and sashes to sell to the merchants.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. 26 When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness. 27 She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness.

28 Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her: 29 “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!”

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. 31 Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

Something to think about...

When you worship do you relate to the statement or the question?

1: The Music is too loud/fast/etc. for me.
2: What kind of music will attract people to the Lord?

1: The message from the pulpit needs to be more focused to my needs.
2: What kind of message is necessary to touch the hearts of our newcomers?

1: They keep asking for money, time, etc.
2: What can I do to keep our ministry going forward?

Lucy turns 6!

I know it has been a while but I didn't have any new pictures until now. We celebrated Lucy's birthday party with her friends at the rec center pool.

Do you have to sing to me....

Lucy our Cheerleader

Lucy participates in our church Upward program as a cheerleader. She is very excited as she participates with her friends from kindergarten. They cheer for the Upward basketball players both boys and girls that play. Lucy will get to cheer for Morgan's basketball team a few time this year.

Desiring to hear God...

Have you considered what God has done for you or through you in 2009, today, or even more what he can do in 2010! If we trust in Him he can do anything in us and through us if we honor Him and use it for His glory.

We also need to consider; What have I done for God lately? If we desire a close relationship; it is a two way street. In 2010, I want to ask myself, what I can do for God today? More of Him and less of me is my prayer in 2010.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. " Proverbs 3:5, 6

Mathew West; The Motions (Lyrics)

This might hurt, it's not safe But I know that I've gotta make a change I don't care if I break, At least I'll be feeling something' Cause just okay is not enough Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't wanna go through the motions I don't wanna go one more day without Your all consuming passion inside of me I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,"What if I had given everything, instead of going through the motions?"

No regrets, not this time I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind Let Your love make me whole I think I'm finally feeling something' Cause just okay is not enough Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

No regrets, not this time I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind Let Your love make me whole I think I'm finally feeling something' Cause just okay is not enough Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

take me all the way (take me all the way) take me all the way ('cause I don't wanna go through the motions) take me all the way (I know I'm finally feeling something real) take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions I don't wanna go one more day without Your all consuming passion inside of me I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,"What if I had given everything, instead of going through the motions?"

I pray that 2010 I will have no regrets and let my heart defeat my mind! DW

Morgan basketball

Morgan started her first competitive basketball league this year. She also plays in a recreational league at our church called, Upward. She has really gained more confidence and skill in this new league and is doing very well. She plays the two guard positions and is a very good ball handler and passer. The Upward league will begin in a couple weeks while her competitive league will come to an end. I am going to be helping coach her Upward team this year.

6 months since the back surgery (double fusion)...

I had a great doctor appointment for my 6 month checkup (back surgery) and got the "all clear" for activities and exercise! I just have to be careful and use common sense moving forward. I will begin to exercise tomorrow and slowly work back into a steady routine. Also, I can begin to plan my ski trips with the kids and then when summer gets here, I will begin swimming and golfing again! Praise God! Thank you for all the prayers and encouragement. I have come a long way in 6 months and am glad to be where I am today.

Christmas 2009

Below are some pictures I wanted to share of our family Christmas this year. We were happy to have Jim (Betsy's father) join us for Christmas again this year. This was taken before our Christmas Eve service and dinner that we were treated too. Thank you Jim :)

Lucy excited for her new Leapster game. Morgan received a new Wii game for her to test daddy with, ha.
After our family Christmas we head up to Estes Park to my parents house with the rest of the Weber clan. Here some of the cousins are passing out gifts to everyone with grandpa joking in the background.

Morgan and Lucy checking out their gifts.
