So tonight I am @ work ( I work 2 days a week @ the hair school Nicole goes to TAYLOR ANDREWS) anyways Thursdays I work a 14 hr shift so it makes for a long day! So I'm just sitting here a little bored so I thought I wuld blog for awhile . So not too much going on in the Shafer Family these days. Casey and Noelle just finished up school last week so we are now on summer vacation! Although with gas prices and funds pretty low these days I don't really know how much vacationing we will be doing! Infact this past memorial day we were going to go to Idaho to visit Shawnee but just couldn't swing it so we went camping instead. It was fun but rained on and off all weekend. Casey has started football again and next year he is a junior @ the new high school Desert Hills, they play Eldorado next year and we are looking forward to the Victory! Noelle is playing softball and is the star pitcher! and she also made the Varsity cheer sqaud on her competion cheer squad! Nicole is busy attending hair school and is starting a new job @ a tanning salon. Cody and Sara are doing great, Sara is going to go through the Temple this summer in St. Louis and they are looking forward to being sealed in December or January. Gary and I are doing great he is still the love of my life and my best friend were going on 22yrs of marital bliss!(HA HA) no really I am truly blessed and we are great! Gary started his own concrete company and we are slowly geting work. But I know the Lord will bless us. Well now that I have wriiten a book I will go for now!

a few little quotes on mothers

All that I am or hope to be I owe to my angel mother(Abraham Lincoln)
The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world( author unknown)
There's no job more noble on this earth, than to care for those whom we've given birth. (author unknown)
I said a prayer for you today and know God must have heard-I felt the answer in my heart although he spoke no word. I didn't ask for wealth or fame. I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked him to send treasures of a far more lasting kind. I asked that he'd be near you at the start of each new day. to grant you health and blessings and friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you in all things great and small, but it was for his loving care I prayed the most of all.(author unknown)
Thanks to my children CODY, NICOLE,CASEY,& NOELLE for blessing my life and allowing me to be their mother!

HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY NICOLE!!!

She's the same age I was when I gave birth to her give or take a few months.(Which now if you did not know my age can probably figure it out!) I can't believe 20 years has gone by, it has gone so fast! She is the sunshine in our lives, she's beautiful and grows more beautiful everyday! She's kind and loving, with a heart so sweet and a personality that is witty and fun! She has truly blessed our lives and I am proud to say she is my little girl who has grown into a beautiful woman!

Beehive activity

I am the 2nd councilor in Yw and I just love it! I am over the Beehive class and If I do say so myself we have the best Yw around! Tuesday night we had an activity that started out with a lesson about The Potters Hand and then we took the girls to this place called brushfire and we painted different things made of clay. It was a lot of fun and so I thought I would share some of the pictures we took.Sorry they are not that great but they were taken with my cell phone!
