We had a great weekend, camping at Garner State Park with some friends we worship with. Ashlea stayed the weekend with my parents, because on Saturday, she had a choir competition to be at. So, it was just the four of us with several other families. The girls love to camp! It was really really cold, but thanks to some space heaters, we survived Sat. night! Despite the 29 degree temp.! It made it really hard to get up at 7am and get dressed for worship, pack the car, and drive an hour to a church! But it was so fun and worth it! We made lots of great memories! Oh and, we had 2 pregnant ladies with us, Rebecca at 23 weeks and Stephanie at 34 weeks! Wow- what troopers!
Also, I want to say- "Happy 5th Birthday to Sierra!!"
Poor Ryan & his head injury. :/ Looks like you guys had a wonderful trip overall! Hope we can make the next one! I'm proud of the pregnant ladies! How awesome...especially Stephanie whose due so soon!
You are so awesome!! We had so much fun with you guys. Now we just need to plan a "dd". Thanks for putting everything together. Sierra was so exciting to see your post and Ryder loved the pic of him and Alyssa (the way he was holding her face was sooo cute). We love you guys!!
That's neat that the girls like to camps, especially because I still remember camping with Michael and his family when I was about your girls' ages! :)
Last weekend, we celebrated Alyssa's 5th birthday at Kiddie Acres with all her friends in her bible class plus a few others! She had a great time- I think all the kids did! Thanks to all of you who made it and made her birthday special!
Her actual birthday is this Sat. the 8th-so we will also be having a family party then!

Well, I am still trying to recover from our weekend...we were only gone from fri-sun, but for some reason, we packed for a week. My girls always have their "special" things that they cannot leave without! We had a great weekend at our friends house, who live in Farmersville. Its a small town east of Dallas. They live on alot of land and have goats, pigs, chickens and a cow! Oh and a rooster- that is on my hit list right now....for some reason he is confused about when a rooster is suposed to crow and would do it at all hours of the night.
This past summer, Alyssa and Amber went and stayed a week at their house, and I took her older 2 girls-who are Ashlea's age. And Alyssa and Amber got to learn how to milk a goat!! Evidentally, Alyssa was not so in to it, but Amber was a pro! Maybe there is a farm in her future. Not while she is at home, though...LOL, Im a city girl-thats for sure. But it is fun to visit.
Well, in other news, we are all suffering with allergies! Alyssa is the worst for sure-she coughed all night last night, according to Ashlea. Alyssa somehow ended up sleeping on the floor with Ashlea, in Ashlea's room.
I hope everyone is having a good week so far!
Sounds like you had a fun weekend. Animals are always fun except the crazy rooster! We had a rooster when I was younger that was also confused. He would crow at 2 pm and then at 3 am! Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it. Hope you all are feeling better.
I love going to visit land like that. It's so much fun!! Lots of space and animals. :) Glad yall had a great time (with the exception of the rooster lol) Hope all the allergies get better. This is the worst time of year for those!!
This weekend, Amber competed in 2 events with other kids from her Karate Center. One was a kata- which is a pattern of kicks and punches and other tae kwon do techniques. And then the other event she competed in was the high kick. She had to demonstrate in front of 4 judges, her instructor, and all the spectators! So she was very nervous! But she did great! She won 1st place in the kata and 3rd place in the high kick! It was awesome! Afterwards we took her out for lunch to celebrate.
Last night was Ashlea's 1st choir concert of the year! They did excellent! And all the girls looked so pretty in their black formal gowns! How is everyone's week going so far?
Cool! Congratulations to Amber! My older boys are both in taekwondo. Addison is a sr. green belt and Oliver just graduated Tiger Cubs and is now a white belt.
Thursday Amber and I were talking about getting together. And we could all get together, but if that's not good for you Saturday..well I'm not sure what's happening Saturday...lol...I can explain that later!! But I mean I am pretty much open! So I don't know whatever works with your schedule is more like it!! You are always running..lol...so yeah...Starbucks? Or maybe dinner somewhere or something? ANything sounds good to me!! Thanks for the hug last night btw. You are so sweet!
So proud of both girls. I would love to attend a choir performance, that's right u my alley. Monday was off to a great start. Are suppose to bring everyone this weekend or just Addie.
Thanks to all of you that helped with the girl scouts Fall Products! We really appreciate it.
This week has been very busy, but very good. We have had our fall Gospel Meeting all week, with David Banning bringing the lessons, and they have been excellent! I just so appreciate all that he has done to teach, from God's word, to all our kids. We had the monthly youth devotional at our house last Sunday evening, and he came and led that for us. I think the middle/high school got alot out of it and were encouraged as they have been all week. And of course it has been a good message to the adults also! Our Cedar Park evangelist, Paul White, is also very good about focusing on the needs of our youth, and I just feel that we are so blessed for that!
Have a good weekend!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I enjoyed getting to visit with you guys tonight, too. We'll have to do that again after I've actually picked up the house so you can walk through it! haha
