L2L Convention and Easter

Our congregation went to our annual Lads to Leaders convention this past weekend in Nashville at the Opryland Hotel. We had a wonderful time. Lots of fun, walking, visiting, and did I mention walking. We were there from Thursday til Sunday. First of all, we met a high school friend of mine(she lives in the Nashville area now) across from Opry Mills Mall and let the children play for a couple of hours while we caught up. I loved getting to see her and her boys. We need to do this every year when we go up for L2L. Then we ate at Macaroni Grill and we loved it. We have never been there before, but will be going again. On Friday, we turned in ME's scrapbook and photo for that part of the competition. We hung out and walked all over the hotel and to the mall again. I know we walked at least 5 probably 10 or more miles every day. We had our Friday night awards and ME won 2nd place in the photo contest. On Saturday, she competed in Bible Bowl and Song Leading. Saturday night we had another award ceremony. During the awards ceremony I look over at Christopher and he has blood pooling in his mouth. I knew what it was so I did not panic. I told Barry to take him and rinse his mouth out while I looked for his tooth. Yes, he lost his first tooth at the awards ceremony and the tooth fairy got to come tha same night as the Easter bunny. ME's scrapbook did not place and she did not place in her songleading, but she did great. I am so proud of her for trying. Christopher did the k-2nd grade division for songleading. He did great as well. All our kiddos did great. We had several 1st and 2nd place winners in songleading and 3 out of 5 of our Bible Bowl teams placed in the top 3. Our youngest Bible Bowl team (the one ME is on) is being checked out since they think there was a mix up at the ceremony and the name was called wrong(the announcer couldn't read it). They think he was supposed to call Adamsville and instead he said Beal which there wasn't a team by that name. So they are checking to see and correct it if they did. If this is right then our youngest Bible bowl team also made it into the top 8. Sunday, we went to the worship service at the hotel. It was great. We then came home, unpacked and headed to Barry's moms house and the kids hunted Easter eggs. Then back to church, out to eat with Pop, and then home to go to bed. A long and busy weekend. It was well worth it and very Uplifting. Cannot wait til next year to do it all over again.
I am soooooo proud of all our young people. You are all winners.

Trunk or Treat 2009

We had our annual Trunk or Treat tonightat Adamsville Church of Christ. It went very well. The kiddos all looked cute and the adults and kiddos had loads of fun. There were all kinds of costumes. My kiddos were Hannah Montana and the Black Spiderman. Now we know what Mary would look like with blonde hair. Loads of candy and fun for all. Thanks to all who passed out candy to all the kiddos.

My Baby is 10!!!!!

My baby is 10 years old today. Wow how time has flown. It seems just like yesterday when I delivered her. We had her party on Saturday, October 10th. She had a skate party and had lots of fun. She cannot skate very well, but had a blast trying. Thank you to all who came and I will post pictures soon.

14 wonderful years

Yesterday, October 7, 2009 Barry and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary. We had a normal day, him off to work, me off to classes, Mary off to school and Christopher stayed home with Pop. The kiddos have been running a fever. Mary finally got over hers and got to go back to school yesterday. Christopher stayed home another day to make sure he was over his and got to go today. Maybe that is gone now. Well I woke up to a sweet card and some flowers for my anniversary. I got Barry a new NKJV bible for his. He took me out to Outback last night. It was good, could have been better. No real complaints other than Christopher and fever. It went away though. Today I woke to a note saying check the mail... I checked it and he stuck a note in there for me telling me he loves me. How sweet. Another anniversary down and moving on to Mary's 10th birthday next week(14th). He party is this weekend and hope it goes well.

Hope you all have a great day.

My Birthday and a Zoo trip

Today was Christopher's first field trip to the Zoo. We had a grreat time. I was really tired when I left. My feet andback hurt. I woke this morning to the kiddos giving me some flowers and candy and Dr. Pepper for my bday presents. Then off to school and the field trip. Then after I went and bought Mary's bday gifts. Then back to the school to pick them up from school. We came home and Barry planned a surprise get together for me. Afew friends came over and then Mary said she had a headache. I felt her head and she was a little warm , took her temp and it was 102.3. So medicated her and sent her to bed. Everyone else left within minutes. So so much for my get together. Oh well maybe some other time. Also here is pics of my flowers the roses are from Christopher and the sunflowers are from Mary. Thank you for my bday.
