Quiz Bowl February 2009

This is a little dated, (just a couple of weeks) but I wanted to share some praise for Tatum. He and his buddy, Austin, were chosen to be in the quiz bowl a couple of weeks ago. This is a big honor because they take the top 4 kids from each grade based on some tests results. It was a fun day and I just wanted to say how proud I am of him.

Oh the Mountains

We had a great trip to the mountains over President's Day weekend. We met Keith's parents there and just enjoyed a much needed change of scenery. We enjoyed the first day waking up in the mountains and sipping that first cup of coffee that began a day of adventure. We hiked, canoed, rode in a paddleboat, went fishing (no luck- the pond was way down), played on the playground, and rode scooters all through the extremely hilly neighborhood, and just enjoyed each other.

It was great fun to just relax for a few days. On the last morning, we had a BIG SUPRISE!!! The whole place transformed overnight into a winterwonderland. (They weren't even calling for snow!) This was the good packing snowball fight kind of snow! The boys had a blast getting everyone! Luckily- I had the camera...I was somewhat safe! The amazing thing is that as we were leaving the neighborhood, we noticed that there was not any snow anywhere except in our neighborhood! It truly was a blessing! God is so good!!

Keith even had to sweep out the truck to get our stuff packed.

Well, back to reality and busy schedules- we enjoyed the trip but there is no place like home. We all like to return to our normal life!

Up and Running!

Well here we go! I am up and running with this new creation! I know it will take some time to figure out, but I am up for the challenge, I think! I have enjoyed following a couple of blogs over the past few months and just decided that it was time for me to create my own. I am sure that there will be many mistakes and typos along the way, but please hang in with me.
