Well, the job that Ed had in the works finally went through. He's a contract pumper for Oxy USA. He's liking the job pretty well so far, just not like getting used to all the computerized stuff he has to do! lol Him and computers don't get along very well!!
The girls had their spelling bee last week, Dakota took first place!!! Jordan didn't place and needless to say, it was not a good day! lollll But I was very proud of both of them!! Last Saturday Jordan traveled to El Reno where she competed in the state level competetion in the English category. She did really well. She didn't place in the top 3 and receive an award, but she did great and we are very proud of her!!
I can't believe it's almost time for school to be out. This year has just flown by!! I'm looking forward to spending the summer with my girls and trying to prepare myself that my babies will be in jr. high next year!! Man - where does the time go??? They have grown up way too fast!!
Bryce's house in the country fell through, so he's still living in town and not real happy about it. But he's going to continue to keep looking. He's still not found a full time job, but is staying really busy doing odd jobs around town for people and helping out some farmers, so I guess he's doing okay.
Hope everyone is doing okay and now that Ed is back to work, I should have more time to be online and keep this updated a little better!! :o)

Family Update
Well, April has not started off too well for the Burden family. The end of March found Ed without a job. Nabors Well Service laid off several people and unfortunately Ed was one of them. He does have a good job in the works right now, so just hoping and praying that it goes through!!
On a happier note - the girls have had an awesome volleyball season this year. As of today, they are tied for 1st place. Their last game is Monday night at 8:00, so wish them luck!!! Today they had volleyball pics, 2 games and their volleyball pizza party with their team. Where their coach, Kim, gave the girls each very nice trophies with their name and special award on them!! I thought that was just so sweet of her!!
Ed and I were supposed to go to the Corvettes of Enid carshow this weekend, but with all the volleyball games and pictures and stuff today, I stayed home. The girls and I spent the entire day (9 hours) in town today!! Ed and one of his best friends - RJ - left Friday afternoon and took the Vette to Enid. They spent the night and were at the car show all day today. Ed called today when they headed home around 4:30 and said he had won an award and a plaque for his Corvette. He was so excited and I'm so happy for him!! I can't wait until he gets home to see all his pictures he took. It was an ALL Corvette show, so I am just hating that I had to miss it, but I enjoyed spending the day with my girls watching them play volleyball!!! I still can't believe this is their last year. I just HATE HATE HATE that Hooker schools don't have a volleyball team. They are BOTH excellent players and it's really a shame that they can't move on to keep playing. But - they are too old for Kid's Inc. now. :(
Bryce has found him a house in the country and is in the process of moving from town (in Shattuck) to the country this weekend. He sounded pretty excited when I talked to him yesterday. He will be much happier in the country I'm sure!!! The company he was working for laid off a bunch of people too, Bryce included. So he's been without a job for two days longer than Ed has!! He's been doing some odd jobs and has his application in at a few different places.
The rest of the month will not be quite as busy for us since we wrap volleyball up on Monday night. The girls still have Awana every Wednesday though. Jordan has her academic bowl in El Reno on the 18th of this month. They Spring breakfast and Spelling Bee is the 17th. And Jordan also has gymnastics every Monday night. The girls will be out for Easter break the 10th - 13th.
I will try and update some more soon!!
