365/015

Sunday

Sunday afternoon I happened to get on Facebook,and saw where our pastor had posted that Jim Bob Duggar would be speaking that night! I got really excited because Zoe,and I love their show 19 Kids and Counting. We were having a study on our role as a Christian,and politics. Jim Bob,and Michelle ( his wife) spoke about how they got involved in politics. Zoe was so excited to meet them. Four of their children came with them too. She made sure to get everyone’s autograph.

Monday

 

Monday night I met with my Life group,and we jumped into the book of James. There is a lot I can learn from this book!

When I got home from bible study Corey had cooked dinner. He made HOMEMADE chicken and dumplings. He kneaded the dough,and everything! I was VERY impressed.

Friday

Friday was awards day at Zoe,and Noah’s school. I had/have a lot of mommy guilt about not going:(   I only work 4 hours a day,and that is from 8:30-12:30. I feel bad to take the whole day off to go to awards. But I made them a promise that I would go the next 9 weeks. We are so proud of all of our children!

 

We were getting ready to go out for dinner on Friday night when I came across a picture on Facebook. A friend that lives,and ministers in Uganda had posted it. It literally made me sick at my stomach.

This orphan child was found in Northern Uganda,and is VERY malnourished. I felt so guilty,and ashamed that we were about to go have dinner while this child has been starving. They sent a team for him,and he is now in a hospital where they are trying to save his life. All I could think is that this could have been our sweet Charlotte  if the neighbors hadn’t have taken  her in.  My heart aches to go back to Uganda, and if God’s allows I will be going back in October.

You too can join in on the fun by visiting Sara!

Happy Birthday Noah!

Happy 11th Birthday Noah!

    We celebrated Noah’s birthday with a hunting theme. He loves to hunt,and anything that can happen outdoors. We invited a few of his friends home with us after church. We kept it really simple,and served pizza for lunch.

 

 

 

After everyone got stuffed full of pizza we did the cake! Of course we had to have a deer hunter cake:)

 

He was thinking of a wish.

 

When it was time to blow the candles out my 2 year old nephew decided he wanted to do it..lol.

So we had to have a re-do:)

 

Everyone was ready to head outside to shoot BB guns,and the bow. Of course Corey gave a safety lesson,and showed them how to handle everything. Most of them listened,and no one shot their eye out ;)

 

I guess Noah shoots better when his mouth is open.

 

Some practiced safety a little more than others.

 

 

 

This is how we do birthday parties in the south!

Project 365/001-365/007

I decided to give this a try this year. I started last year,but didn’t do it very long. I am hoping this makes me use my camera more for my family. I seem to always photograph everyone else,and not my own family. It takes a lot to purposely pick up your camera,and take a photo. So I guess we will see what happens:)

Happy New Year’s!

We celebrated in our hotel room in Nashville! There we not a lot of family friendly options for NYE. So we had our own party. We had Chinese takeout for dinner,and saw two countdowns! We were going to do the countdown with New York,but we missed it by about 2 minutes. So we stayed up to countdown with Nashville.
