Fall Retreat

This weekend while Jon was at the beach with his friends from Grad School, I was at the Fall retreat for our high school youth group kids. The weekend was packed with fun! We got to do a lot of outdoor games and got to use the water park that included the blob, zip line, slide and the newest addition - the walking on water mat. We had so much fun and the kids were able to connect on deeper levels.

First Day of School!

Today, Maddie, Blake, and Sam started school! They all had a great day with their teachers! Blake had Mrs. Berner (She taught me 18 years ago... and I still remember all of the fun things we did in her class!) And Sam has my dear friend Darsi again this year!

Maddie: 3rd Grade

Maddie Turns 8!

Today, Maddie had her birthday party at home with a giant blowup slip-n-slide! She invited the girls from her class and everyone seemed to have a really great time! I can't even believe that she is EIGHT years old! Love you MaddieMoo!

Sam and DreDre

So Sweet!

Samantha's First Dentist Appointment!

Samantha did a great job at her first dentist appointment! She did cry a little, but she kept still and it was over so quickly! She had no cavities and the dentist told her she had a beautiful smile! Her favorite part was turning on the dentist's "flashlight" so that he could look in her mouth!

On the way home! She held the toothbrush until we got there!
