Prayers needed.......

Where do I begin? When Craig and I were fairly new parents (Brooklyn was 1) we decided we were going to seek our dream of living in the country. We moved 15 miles from town and not only found our acreage but also our second family. Their names are Roger and Jan Mohr. In the country, in South Dakota, in the middle of the winter your neighbors are all you have. We spent a lot of time with the Mohrs and Brooklyn even called Roger......Papa Mohr. It always brought a HUGE smile to his face. They would come over to swim in our pool during the summer, we had BBQ's together, even had a hi-tech search party of cell phone usage when my horse disappeared. Like I said.....they became our second family and when we decided to move back to town.....it was so hard to tell them.

Today I write this with a heavy heart. See the Mohrs had 3 children, Jacey (who was the best babysitter!!), Lance, and Riley. On April 11th Lance and Riley got into a horrible car accident and Lance did not survive. Riley was driving and for some reason crossed the center line. He is in the hospital here in town in the CCU and had to be in surgery all Sat night. He will recover physically but emotionally I worry about him. He is the sweetest boy and we always joked that he loved Brooklyn because he would always watch out for her. Riley does have a Caring Bridge site. If you go to www.caringbridge.com and under visit site type rileymohr......you can read the updates. Please pray for this family as they have a long road of physical and emotional healing ahead of them.

Thank you to all my friends out there in bloggerville.....I know what mighty people of prayer you are!!!!

Ice Show 2009

This last weekend we had the ice show and what a busy weekend it was. We had dress rehearsal Friday night and then 2 shows on Saturday and 1 on Sunday. The kids were all tired afterwards but they all did a good job! We had a lot of family come and watch Brooklyn and I skate and this year Annie (Craig's cousins' daughter) was in it also!!! Annie and Brooklyn were inseperable and they had a great time. Its always fun doing the ice show but I love Sunday night when we CRASH at home and do nothing all night!!! This years them was Jukebox Magic so it was all songs from the 50's and some from the 60's!! Great music and fun costumes!!!
