Elders Quorm Tennis Tournament



Last night we had a mini tennis tournament. It was a blast. After waiting for an hour in the dark we had a great match. We got to play on the JSA's new courts. We played couples doubles and it was great. Dave and Danicia, Bert and Kara, Jeni and Cade, Garrett and I all had a chance to play each other. WE need to do this more often. I love this game.

Body For Life II


As most of you know I have accepted the "Body for Life Challenge." I am half way through this 12 week program and I am losing steam FAST! I need some help. If any of you have any great, low fat, high protein recipes or exercises (weight lifing) for your butt , abs and hamstring...please share the knowledge. I have my eye on the $25,000 grand prize. This is the winner from last year. She is a stay-at-home mother of three too. Maybe that will be my picture next year!

Pacheco







We went to our ranch this last week. It was so nice to be away for a day. We had Kelsey, Kaleb and Kirsten with us. They had a blast swinging on our "cliff swing" and swinging off the "tree rope" into the pond. Their favorite part was riding the 4-wheeler. Kaleb would drive all the little girls around for hours. It was great! I was able to get some reading done. The orchards are looking incredible and we can't wait for our first crop to come off.
