Can I Brag on my Owen?!?!?


Owen played in a soccer tournament the weekend before Thanksgiving. I am so proud of him and his team. Not only did they win the tournament but their sportsmanship was exemplary...as Jason would say "they were a class act!" My heart is full not only because they won, but more so because of the character that he and his team displayed.

The First Annual Great Turkey Hunt

   This past Sunday evening was our First Annual Great Turkey Hunt with the Northside Student Ministry. It was alot of fun and alot of work! So many people contributed. People parked cars in crazy locations, dressed up in crazy costumes, drove a bunch of crazy full of energy kids around for an hour, and hid in the woods to scare kids crazy! Thank you so much!
   There were sightings of the Grinch, a yellow peanut M&M eating ice cream, and lots of tanegrams! I know everyone will practice up on their tanegrams in order to be prepared for next year! One team was even detained in a store because of an ADAM alert (missing child....not one of ours.....I promise we came home with everyone!) I could not have planned something like that! Here are some pictures from the fun filled night!

Conquered the Mulch!











Last weekend we mulched our entire yard. It was an all day affair! It was a lot of work but our yard desperately needed it. It looks so much better.



  After some long hours in the yard, the girls decided that everyone needed a little "spa" treatment. Ella kept saying "lets put pickles on our eyes!" We finally convinced her that they were not pickles but cucumbers.
