First Day of School 2010-2011

When did I become the mom with 2 school aged children?? The answer to that is August 23, 2010! Our "little" girl isn't so little. That really hit home when I saw her sitting in her chair in her new classroom with Mrs. Rutledge! Grayson loves his homeroom teacher, Mrs. Larson. In part because she is so pretty, but she's cool too. She has a large rat as a classroom pet!

Another Cheer Camp

This was my first cheer camp as "Head Coach"! What an exhausting day! We learned our half time dance and several cheers. Seeing this picture of Jessie and me makes it all worth it!

My squad - Lindsey, Jalyn, Madison, Morghan, Lauren, Jessie and Alexis

Cheering at "The Big Game"

The cheerleaders who attended camp last week got to cheer and dance at the Coppell High School football game as part of the pregame show! Check her out on the 50 yard line!

Our Little Cheerleader

Jessie's first cheer camp with the CHS cheerleaders!

SHEPARD OF THE OZARKS

This was by far one of the BEST family vacations we have ever done! SOTO, in North Arkansas is truly one of God's most beautiful creations. We had an awesome time with our church family hiking, canoeing, rafting, riding horses, playing laser tag, fishing, rock climbing, cliff hanging, and doing the high ropes course...just to name a few! We can't wait to go back next year!

I have always wanted to paint my car windows but have never had a reason to! The kids have seen all the cars in town painted up and ready for kids to go off to camp this summer. When I told them we were doing this, you would have thought we won the lottery! They were so excited! SOTO family camp...here we come!

Jessie Loses a Tooth!

At 7:45 this morning, Jessie ran downstairs claiming her tooth had fallen out!!! She was very excited. Kendall and me, not so much! One more sign we are losing our baby girl! She still has a great smile though!

VBS AND BYBC

Another successful VBS week! This year our theme was Route 254, reflecting on Psalm 25:4. I was an elementary school director along side the amazing Cindi Coss! I think she directed me more than I directed anything else! But what a learning experience for me! I have never been fully plugged in to VBS like I was this year and I can't wait for next year! Also this year, FBC held Back Yard Bible Clubs at several different homes. We were fortunate enough to host for our neighborhood and surrounding area. We averaged 19 kids each night!! It made for a long week, but it was so worth it.We celebrated with family night events in the church parking lot on Friday night and Grayson dunked Pastor Clayton in the dunk tank...all for God!!!! 

Below are pics of Grayson with Pastor Clayton, me with Katie (children's director), Grayson with Elizabeth (one of his VBS guides), Grayson and Jess with Mallory (teen helper), a group pic from our BYBC group, and Clayton in the dunk tank!

Aunt Amy Comes to Dallas

Meet Miss Molly!

We finally found the dog for us! Meet Miss Molly. She is a 1 yr. old miniature Schnauzer. She is so sweet and a great dog! We just love her!

Sushi...MMMM???

Grayson tried it, but didn't love it as you can see on his face!

4th of July Parade Float

Jessie joined in on the fun of painting banners for the July 4th parade! She loved hanging out with the teenage girls. Our float was about FBC VBS going on this month!

Lake Weekend!

Another fantastic weekend at Lake Granbury!
