Cindy,
Hoping to hear how your first week of retirement went... let us know if you're bored and ready to go back!!!! hehe... Tell us how it's going...

Taylor flies back to Texas Monday night. She'll remain here and work until Tyrel graduates June 26th. She'll post an update when she gets here, but it looks like he'll either get stationed and they'll move to that base (probably VA, WA or GA) or he'll get orders for deployment. Please remember them when you pray and continue to specifically pray they get stationed so they can live together.

Please pray for Matt Wilkin. Matt is Tyrel and Taylor's good friend from Iowa stationed at Ft Hood. (He was in the wedding party and has spent many weekends with us while in Tx.) He's been deployed to Afghanistan and will leave July 2nd for 15 months. Please pray God's protection over him.

That's all for now... love to all.

Yup

Ok, so far being up here at Pine Springs has been awesome. We haven't had any campers yet, but the other counselors are turning out to be a lot more bearable than I thought that they would be, even the Kyodia (sp?) ones. Sunday we get out first group of kids and they are going to be a group of the young ones. Kyle will do great, cause he loves little kids, but I'm going to need for ya'll to pray for patience for me.
Oh... I almost forgot, I've already hurt myself and it hasn't even been a week. I fell and got rocks stuck in my hand, so I pulled them out and I super glued the hole where they were shut so, lets hope it doesn't get infected.
I hope everything is going well with all of ya'll, and I think either Kyle or I will try to let everyone know how things are going up here from week to week.

Pine Springs!

Well, tomorrow Trey and I are off to Pine Springs for the summer! I'm gonna bring my digital camera so maybe from time to time I'll upload some fun photos from camp. Trey's got the second oldest cabin (Porcupine) which is like 10th and 11th graders on the older weeks and 5-6th graders on the younger weeks. I volunteered for the youngest cabin which will be 7-8th graders on the older weeks and 4th graders on the younger weeks. Ah well, it's going to be a fun, tiring summer so keep us in your prayers! Hope all you guys have a great summer too!

I have the two cutest granddaughters in the WORLD!!

My dad is now home in midland. He was released from the hospital on Friday and spent the night here in Abilene. He looked much better than I expected. He is still talking about riding in eight weeks. Some people never learn. The doctor from the first hospital was fired. The five ribs broken are on his right side and his body is absorbing the blood clot. He also has a bruise on his brain from a previous injury. I have told him that he needs to choose if he wants to spend time with his family or with the horses but not both. So far one horse is sold another is on the way to be sold and I don't know yet about the other one. Thanks for your prayers.

Grown Man Becomes Big Baby

Well...Freeby's surgery went really well this morning. He is in quite a bit of pain and is not yet himself, but he is doing as well as can be expected. Thank you all for your prayers and support. Please continue to pray that his recovery goes well and quickly. I have some great stories from the recovery room. I would write them but I fear I would not do them justice through typing. Songs are hard to type and poses that he did for the nurses are hard to describe, so remind me and I will tell you a few stories in person.
Thanks again for the love and support.

Champion Going Under the Knife

Well...Freeby will be having surgery on Friday morning. The Dr. told us that he will not be able to use his arm for about three months. Jonelle I may need your ear to complain about doing bath time for at least the next three months. YUCK! He won't be back to "normal" for six months. Freeby is really excited about that because they have two tuna trips scheduled for about six months from now. It is also good that he should be well again before the new baby gets here. Anyway, I will write again when I have any spare time. I am sure Mom will update the site once the surgery is over. Just keep us in your prayers.
