Things are still pretty busy around here, although July should be somewhat easier! The girls still have cross country and open gym, but softball is officially over for this season. They ened up with 3rd place for the season and 2nd place in the tournament.
We didn't get to go to Laverne for the 4th like we had hoped, Ed had to work Saturday morning and stick around in case something happened that afternoon and evening. We really didn't do much of anything all weekend, just hung out at home. Ed got the trap shooting field all laid out for Jordan. So she can really get serious now! lol She's got another trap shoot this coming Saturday and if she does as well there as she has been at home, she's gonna kick some butt!! lol
The girls are both doing great with running cross country, they run their 2 miles every morning and then usually run again of an evening. Even though softball is over, Dakota is going to continue to meet with her pitching coach (only met with him once so far) throughout the year. She's gonna meet with him once a month until around Jan or Feb. probably and then start going twice a month to get ready for next season. She's pretty excited about it.
Ed's been staying busy and still loving his job. We've got another car show coming up in September that we plan on taking the vette to. Should be fun!!
Bryce finally got a full time job and he's really enjoying it. He's working for a local contractor in Shattuck and doing all sorts of things from remodling houses to welding. He's staying pretty busy!! Didn't get to see him on the 4th, as he stayed in Shattuck to help out the other volunteer firemen put on all the festivities in Shattuck that day!!
Not really much of anything else going on right now, just the same old thing around here. lol I can't believe that this summer is almost over though, school starts in about 5 1/2 weeks!

6/10/09 Updates
Things are going well here. Ed is staying busy with his job, he really likes it. The whole getting laid off from Nabors was a true blessing. This is so much better and he is so much happier. We love having him home earlier everyday and every weekend!!!
I'm keeping the roads hot between here and Hooker and here and Guymon. I feel like I live in the suburban most of the time! lol On the good side though, I have got a lot of reading done so far while I sit in town waiting on the girls for everything! :o) Dakota keeps telling me I need to read her Twillight book - that should occupy my time for a while! lol
The girls' softball team is doing okay, they don't quite have as good of a team as they have in the past, but they are all coming along. The girls are on the younger of the two teams, so most of the girls (besides my two and one more) this is their first year to play major softball. We've got a few girls that are trying to pitch and doing a fairly good job, but being so young(although most of them did pitch in the minors last year), they tend to walk more girls than anything else. But I'm sure they will all get better with a little more experience! Dakota decided that she would like to try her hand at pitching and I have to say that she is doing awesome!! She's only been practicing for 3 weeks and I think she's doing just as well as the other girls that pitched minors last year. We got her a pitching coach and she's met with him once and she loves him, he is so awesome!!! She's really been practing and she will have more lessons with him soon. He told her to keep practicing and remember that she shouldn't expect to be a great pitcher in a few weeks, it took lots of time and practice and she is just the one to do that - she is so dedicated to everything she does!! So by this time next year, I think she will be an amazing pitcher!!!
The girls both amaze me with all their energy. They get up at 5:45 M-TH. and we go to town for them to run cross country. They run 2 miles each morning. Then they go straight to weight/speed training, then on to open gym for basketball and/or a basketball camp. Then when we get home, they are practicing basketball and/or softball. Jordan goes to gymnastics once a week, plus they have at least 2 softball games a week!! Last Monday night, their game didn't get over until almost 11:30. It was after midnight by the time we got home and in bed and they were up and ready to go run at 5:45. Me on the other hand was dragging all day! lolllll
Bryce is doing okay, still living in Shattuck. He's still not found a full time job. He's been doing odd jobs here and there and working some for my Dad on the ranch and for some local farmers. Not quite sure how he's managing to make it, but he is. He's still on the fire department and loving that. That is what keeps him in Shattuck I think, he's not about to give that up!!
Well, I think that should catch everyone up for now! :o) I'm hoping July will be a little less hectic, but I sort of doubt it! lol

Updates!!
Well, so much for me trying to do better about keeping everyone updated! lol
Things here are going really good. Today marks the 20 year anniversary of the day Ed and I met!! I wonder if he regrets that night on main street when he yelled out his window "if you're not serious, just go on"?? lol I guess I showed him that I was serious!!! :o)
He is loving his new job, keeps him busy, but he's got really good hours, off every weekend, so it's really nice!!!
This is the girls' last week (4 days) of school. I can't believe my babies are going to be going to Jr. High next year!! They have grown up way too fast!!!
Last week was the Hooker track meet, the girls did great (as always). Jordan ended up with 3 1st place ribbons and Dakota got a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbon!!
They have both decided to run cross country in Hooker next year. We went and talked to the coach the other day. They will be meeting all summer, 3 days a week, at 7:00 a.m. to run. So much for having a peaceful summer and getting to sleep in!! lol AND---after they run at 7:00 a.m. for cross country, they will be going to do strength/weight training and then on to open gym for basketball!! They also are playing softball this summer and trying to squeeze in at least 2 basketball camps. One is in Guymon and the other down my OKC f0r a week!! It's going to be a busy busy summer around here!! Mom's taxi is going to be keeping the roads hot!! lol
We have still been going to some car shows with the vette. We went to one in Liberal Saturday. Took both vettes over (ours and Terry's). It was a great show. 200 cars and the highlight of the show was "Elanor" from the movie Gone in 60 Seconds was there. One of the 3 cars out of the 11 used in the movie that survived the filming. This was the one that Nicholas Cage knocked the driver's side mirror off of in the movie. It's an awesome car and so cool to have it at the car show!! A guy from Liberal owns it!! (pic of car above)
I will try and keep everyone updated this summer on ballgames and everything else that is going on. From the sounds of it, I won't have a lot of computer time though! lol

Things are looking up!!
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!!
