How I Spend my Thursdays this Summer...

I have the opportunity to spend a few hours each Thursday with some great children.

Here are some pictures from last Thursday!

They have a VERY talented mother...here is her website for your viewing pleasure: http://katherinemariephotography.com/blog/

{This is my friend M (which I will call him in my posts!) He is such a big help...and let me tell you he is one smart little cookie! }

{This is B...he just melts my heart! }

{Sweet E...I keep telling E & M that I have to learn how to speak 2 year old talk...I keep thinking she is talking about the Amish...I have not yet figured out what she is saying!}

YM/YW Service Project

This was the first mutual that I attended for my new calling. Here are just a few of the girls and a couple of littles that tag along with us!

New Calling...

Within the LDS Church we as members have a chance to serve others in various organizations. I have a new calling in one of those organizations. I will be serving as the Young Women's Secretary. I am excited to fullfill this calling...I am ready to serve some amazing women and also amazing young ladies!

A Summer's Day Out...

Hello!

Are you a mom (or dad) who is home all day with your children in the summer? Would you like a "DAY OUT?"

(Maybe once a week...or more often during the summer?)

I would LOVE to come spend the day with your children while you are out having lunch with friends, shopping, a day at the spa...or just a day of quiet!

I will do crafts, read, play, bake, and go on a field trip with your children to give you a "DAY OUT!"

(Spread the workds to your friends also!)

Time: Anytime between the hours of 8:00 am - 5:00 pm (Evening hours can be discussed...)

Days: Monday-Friday (Thursdays after 2:00 pm!)

Price: $10.00 an hour (You would be responsible for the groceries for lunch and money for any field trips we might go on...Don't worry! I know cheap things to do in town!)

How do you find out if a date is free:

Washington D.C. 2009

Things are not right...I had more pictures but I don't have time right now to load them again. Stay tuned for part 2.

This past week we spent the week in Washington D.C. with the 8th grade class of Schumucker Middle School. The kids were great except for the use of cell phones when they were not allowed. Here are some of my favorite pictures. We were very glad when the bus pulled into SMS on Friday morning. Enjoy!

Attack of the kidney stone...

Damon was in extreme pain on Thursday...he called me at work and I rushed home. I called 911 on my way home. Long story short...they rushed him to the hospital (horrible moaning and groaning) we found out through a CT scan that Damon had a kidney stone. What horrible timing...we are leaving for Washington D.C. next week. Damon did pass the stone on Saturday evening...we are back on track for the D.C. trip. He is back to work today and started the day off right with a sale! Go Damon!

New Job!

Damon started a new job today...thank goodness. He is working in sales for Tru Green Lawn Care. Having this happen took some of the cares off my shoulders! More tomorrow when I post the great paper bag that I made at Friends Craft Night!

This & That

Hello!
I have random pictures to add with a little commentary...who knows what order they will be in! Here we go...

During Conference I needed to get my craft on...this is now haning on my mom's mantel waiting for Easter guests!
Izzy loves to check out what is going on. After this picture, she began taking off the paper one piece at a time.

Kristi, Becky, Sarah, and Michelle having a girls night while the guys were at the priesthood session of conference. Let's do it again soon ladies!

We would not leave out the battle scars...this was the day stitches were taken out...not for the weak stomach

We had some lumber that Damon made into shelves. Things are not organized yet...but I am so looking forward to having my things out where I can see them.

I Need Help!

Hello Friends!

I am starting the hunt for summer employment. I thought I would enlist the help of my friends who have children in this task. I would love to spend my summer in the home of a family with children making crafts, taking field trips, playing in the back yard, reading stories and all of the other FUN summer activities.. Do you know of families that may have children in child/day care during the school year and would like their children to spend the summer at home with a highly quailified, loving, caring, and fun person? If so...please pass my information on to them. I don't want to have to go to a child care center this summer...I would rather spend my time with children in their home and doing things that they might want to do during the summer.

Here is my information:

I am more than willing to provide references and a resume that showcases all the years of experience that I have had working with children. Thank you so much in this endeavor! I may have to work in the summer...but I would love to be able to enjoy it also!

Thanks,
Kirsten Hatch

The Patient...

The above picture of Damon pre-surgery at 5:30 am on March 17th.
This picture is of Damon coming out of Surgery and meds...poor guy...he lets me post all kinds of pictures of him!

This is what his left foot looks like now. He goes back to the doctor on Wednesday to see how things are healing...

A Sign of Spring...

I love this time of the year. While walking up my grandma's driveway this is what I saw and I had to take a photo.

This time of year is so refreshing to me. I love to have the old dingy snow gone and the green of the year start to pop up. I love being able to have my windows open and feel the warm air blowing in...until the guy downstairs comes out and smokes...I just spray my Scentsy room spray. Yuck smoke! I have some things in my life that I want to start fresh on...once I get Damon back on his feet from having surgery tomorrow...the freshness will begin.

What do you like about SPRING?
