"It's time to brush your teeth and go to bed!"

The series that Pastor Jeff is on right now is a DO NOT miss! If you are a parent or influence in any child's life you need to be there! It has spoken to our family. We are not perfect, but its confirmation that we are on the right track! Family time is important~ so is time alone and time with your spouse! Do not neglect the guy in your lives ladies. Like Pastor Jeff said, you are setting an example for your children. Be happy together ~ you, your spouse, and your children deserve it. How long does it take for you to wind down for the evening? You know that time where you tell your spouse about the day without little ears? Figure it out then..send the kids to bed. FOR REAL! We get to that "special" hour in the evening when we are done. Our boys know it's time for bed when we say, "go brush your teeth boys". Yes, they whine sometimes... I take it back almost every night (we are working on that). Don't be fooled. They will live! Ignore the things the world says. If in doubt, go to the Word the only true life manual.

I need to add; Parents we are only influential in our child's live for a short time. Make it count. Stick with it and be consistent. Now get off the computer and enjoy the little blessings!

All In A Day

What a day. Have you ever started a day knowing you have alot to accomplish and are really unsure how? That's how I felt when I woke up.

This week has been starting earlier than most, 6:00am! The Rock Church (best church ever) launched a month of prayer dedicated to faithful givers. See you there Tuesdays at 6:30am, Wednesday - Thursday at 8:00am! It's a great way to start the day!

The van was ready to roll with 5 boys (including Todd) and some good music. We were outta here. Destination; Wynoochee Wildwood, Montesano and a Surprise Birthday Party in Ocean Shores. From noon to 1am the Scheffer boys and a good buddy played on a rope swing over a creek, checked out the Wynoochee River, played in the Ocean (witnessed a whale blowing its spout), had fancy appetizers and birthday cake , swam in a pool at the Hotel, played in the Ocean again (in the dark w/ the van's high beams on!) All of that and back to Monroe by 1:00am ~ all in 13 hours. The time together was priceless! We learned some interesting facts about each other. All of the boys accept Jesse has tried to dig a hole to China! Todd and I as well! They ALL know the John Denver song This Land is Your Land! We all sang it together! It was a blessed day, God had his hand on us the entire time! I would do it again in a heart beat!

"Welcome to TRC, can I have the last 4 digits of your phone number please?"

The "new" check in for LifeSavers and TVM has been in motion for over a month now. The ultimate goal is keeping your children safe while in class as well as making checking in and out quick and smooth. I have heard some great reports from teachers in the classrooms, but I haven't heard much back from parents. What do you think? How is it working for you and your family?
