Ryan Shoup & the Rubberband!

Today I kept Clayton home from school so we could go to the Ryan Shoup(Sp?)concert, that FM100 put on! I love to go & have been for the last 3 years! They put on a wonderful show & the kids love it! Someday I would love to go to a real show, I think it would be a lot of fun!
Bill & I also had a fun time in Washington a few weeks ago! It was very dark & cold! I remember how long the days were in the summer & it is very different in the winter! I would HATE to live there in the winter! It was weird to be back there without the kids too! I took some pictures of the forts that the kids had built. I think they are really cool!
We spent a lot of time @ the Funhouse this summer & I found out that the main lady that worked there, her name is Darleen, anyways, she was so great with the kids! She taught Kennedy how to make magnets, & how to play ping pong...So wonderful! One time she went off Island & bought Clayton sparkle pipe cleaners just for him! He looked at me & told me "Mom, Darleen is PERFECT!" I couldn't wait to tell her & I think he was right! Anyways, she died on an airplane from a heart attack! It is the craziest thing! She was only 33 years old & healthy! It was really sad to drive past the Funhouse, and know that she isn't there anymore!(we didn't tell Clayton,or Claire) I feel so grateful to know what we believe, that our families can be together when we die! I feel sad for people who don't have that knowledge!
