Birthday Pancakes and Fondue

November 17, 2009 at 2:43 am (Uncategorized)

Every birthday the kids get their age in pancakes. Landon woke up this morning and received the number 11 for breakfast and AB was feeling creative and also made a happy face :) This evening, Gannie’s present was dinner at the Melting Pot. It was Granday’s first time to have fondue and Gannie invited Daniel, the youth pastor at our church. The kids were excited to have Daniel there and it was great to see the kids with chocolate on their faces! Landon had a great birthday, but we can’t believe he is getting so big! I wish my kids would slow down….

Landon’s Baptism

November 15, 2009 at 10:00 pm (Uncategorized)

Today was a great day! Landon had accepted the Lord and was baptized this morning, the day before his 11th birthday. We had friends and family that came to watch him get baptized and support his decision to follow Christ. Another boy in our church, Daunte, got baptized today as well. AB said that Daunte was excited and telling Landon, now we’re brothers in Christ! When Brother Ernie and the boys got in the water, he told the church that the heater had gone out and it was going to be like baptizing them in the river! This was an awesome experience, getting to see God working in young boys lives. We are so grateful to everyone who has prayed and supported Landon. This was such an amazing answer to our prayers.

Landon’s 11th Birthday Party!

November 15, 2009 at 3:31 am (Uncategorized)

Friday night, Landon had some friends over to celebrate his 11th birthday. He wanted a ninja party so he had a dragon cake, fried rice, eggrolls and sesame chicken. Granday came to town to spend the weekend as well as Heather, Zach, Zoe and Zane. We had to get pictures of all the kids and adults with green teeth after they ate their cake. Then all the kids played a game where they took hostages…made me tired watching them!

Skydiving

November 8, 2009 at 3:13 am (Uncategorized)

AB will celebrate his 30th Birthday at the end of this month. He and a friend of ours, Markus, decided to skydive today. They spent all day in a class so they could jump by themselves and then the kids and I drove up to watch this afternoon. They had to wait most of the day for the wind to die down and we didn’t know if they were going to get to jump. Around 5ish, they called his name and AB got suited up to go. He did a great job and it was amazing see him be able to do that. I don’t think I would have the guts to do it!! Happy Birthday, my love!

Pumpkin Carving

October 31, 2009 at 12:59 am (Uncategorized)

Tonight we carved pumpkins, roasted pumpkin seeds and made cookies. Alexis is being spoiled by her brothers. They are carrying her around everywhere and reading books to her. Spencer informed me that his teacher told him to brush his teeth after we went trick or treating tomorrow night. A very wise woman….

Pumpkin Patch

October 17, 2009 at 9:03 pm (Uncategorized)

Today I asked on FB if anyone had good suggestions for a good pumpkin patch. We went to the one in Celina and it was awesome. It had hayrides, animals to feed, sunflowers and pumpkins. Unfortunately, while Alexis was feeding one the longhorns, it sucked her hand in with its tongue. She had cow slobber up to her elbow and we were all screaming, worried that she might be missing some fingers after we got it out. She was fine, but her hand was a little scratched up. We have been laughing the rest of the day. It was a great family experience!

Football Pics

Landon’s game was canceled today, so we decided to take pictures this morning of the boys in their uniforms and Alexis as her brother’s cheerleader. There is one that I won’t post that I think will wind up being our Christmas card….

Spencer’s 7th Birthday Party

October 13, 2009 at 11:52 pm (Uncategorized)

Spencer had his 7th birthday party a few weeks ago. He had a SpongeBob party and enjoyed the company of friends and families. We served crabby patties, mac and cheese and homemade vanilla ice cream. I can hardly believe he is seven!! He is turning into such a wonderful young man and we are so proud of him. He has a great sense of humor, is a great football player, a wonderful brother and a good friend. (not that we’re partial) He loves to read Junie B. Jones, play video games and scare his mother. Thank you Jesus for Spencer!
