Ahoy, Mateys!

JD turns six next week and we hosted a gang of little boys (with Riley and her friend Maggie) tonight for a Pirate Adventure! It was great swashbuckling fun!

Jimmy spent some time building Pirate Ships that we let the kids help to decorate as they arrived, then we did a treasure hunt (thanks to Jackson for helping to read the clues!!), and had a cannonball battle between ships! We roasted hot dogs, had chicken-on-the-bone (aka chicken drumsticks) and a pirate cake! We ended the festivities with a pinata!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Friday Update!

YEAH, it is Friday....although our weekends tend to be just as busy as our weekdays! We tend to not schedule anything on Friday evenings so that we can be at home and just relax together. Last weekend we built a fire in the firepit and roasted marshmallows~which the kids LOVE to do, and Jimmy and I find it relaxing just to kick back and recap our week and the funny things that the kids (or ourselves) did.
JD has soccer Saturday and then I work until 6:30 and Sunday will be spent at church and then I am hosting our Grow Group Ladies here for a luncheon!
We will look at posting a weekend update!
Happy weekend to everyone!

Sunday!

This was a great day spent celebrating my dearest and best friends family as they dedicated baby Parker at their church this morning. The morning was followed by a great luncheon and just time being with them and all their family. (That is Tyler, JD, Jackson, Riley and Isaac in Sept 07 at OBX~Baby Parker was on the way.....).

After the busy morning and afternoon we came home and rested for about an hour while I studied our small group bible lesson and then we were off to small group. Currently we are studying about Time Stewardship and God's plan is for us. The world tends to be "hurried". A great thought for tonight is, "Do we control time, or does it control us?"

Here we go!

Well, we have begun blogging! I started this after Nicole initiated her blogspot and thought, like her, that it would be a good way to keep people posted, hopefully I will be able to keep up with the blogs!
