I don't know if y'all will be able to see this large enough to read it. I think if you click on the photo, it will show it larger on another screen. In memory of Chrissie and in remembrance of the day Chrissie went to heaven (which is approaching all too quickly), we are hosting the first annual “Boss Your Heart” Benefit on Saturday, May 21, 2011 from 10AM-5PM at the San Marcos Civic Center. There will be a team roping event, along with children’s activities, food/concessions, a silent auction, and a whole lot of family fun! We are in the process of forming a 501c3 (non-profit) in memory of Chrissie as well. All proceeds from the benefit will go to Boss Your Heart Orphan Ministries, which will be a non-profit to help orphans in memory of Chrissie. We NEED help to make this possible. God recently laid this idea on our hearts, not leaving us a whole lot of time for planning, but we feel confident that He will lift up a team of volunteers to help us make this dream a reality. If you would like to help us with this benefit, please contact me at Lorraine@ForgottenSawRanch.com. We would be so very blessed by your support! There are so many areas where we need help; there will be something for everyone to do. Please prayerfully review the list below to see if God might have you help in some way. We are grateful for your friendship, prayers and support, and we look forward to seeing what God does as we commit to carrying out the legacy of love, joy, and hope that God so abundantly blessed us with through our Princess Chrissie. It is our greatest desire to bring God’s love to orphans around the world through the efforts of Boss Your Heart Orphan Ministries, all for His glory, in memory of our precious princess.

Happy Birthday McKenzie

Today is our McKenzie's 11th birthday, it seems like it was only yesterday she was a baby rocking with her mommy and daddy. We are very proud of Kenzie and everything she can do. She is very mature for an eleven year old, and is very helpful to mom and dad, espically with electronics, computers, and cell phones, she also has a very very good memory that comes in very handy sometimes. This afternoon we are letting her go to the movie "Hop" with her two buddies and without mom or dad, yes this is a first. Anyway we all hope you have a great Birthday Kenzie We love you very much Love Mom, Dad an yhe rest of the crew

Happy April Fool's Day!!

Yes it's April Fool's day. And today Mom~Jody and Mckenzie got their eye's checked. They had a goofy idea to get contact's. Mom~Jody had a better time getting them in than getting them out, Kenzie on the other hand had a better time getting them out. So about an hour after we got home Kenzie and Mom~Jody had to take them out. Kenzie took 10 minute's to take them out, and Mom~Jody took a longer time cause she was better putting them in. SO Kenzie and Mom~Jody took an hour and a half trying to get them out of Jody's eye's. Kenzie told her if she had them or not. SO it was "KENZIE TO THE RESCUE". It was quite the experience getting contact's. Kenzie's eye's did okay and Mom's had a little bit of a tough time getting them out. SO IF YOU DID ANY PRANK'S TODAY IF YOU WANT YOU CAN TELL US WHAT YOU DID! THIS IS A POST BY MCKENZIE CAMPBELL! :-)
