Today is my 3_ birthday!

Today is my birthday and my whole life, I have loved birthday's! It's that one day that is set aside for you and you alone! I am so thankful that God has blessed me with another year. I am so thankful for my husband and my two boys, Jordan and Jacob and all my family and friends. I have learned so much over the years and thank God for being patient with me, for loving me and never giving up on me! His love endures forever! Jesus died when he was 33 years of age and what an impact his death has meant for us! I hope I make a difference this year at the age of 33 to impact the world for Christ!

Jacob's Preschool Halloween Party

Jacob's preschool Halloween party was Fri., Oct. 30. He had so much fun playing games, making crafts and listening to Halloween stories. His buddies are Eli Smith and Hudson Nelson and they three get along really well. He loves school and is doing really well. We received his progress report/evaluation yesterday and he did so good, his teacher says he's a joy!

Jordan's School Picture

Jordan is now in 3rd grade and is doing great. The first 9 wks. were a struggle to learn to be more responsible and independent but he is slowly but surely doing better. He made the Honor Roll for the first 9wks. and is doing pretty good this 9 wks. He still enjoys all things sports and will be starting basketball practice the week of Nov. 9. We are super excited to see him play because he has moved to a new league that will be more competitive! He is a super sweet, soft hearted boy and I wouldn't change a thing about him- oh wait, maybe his listening skills!

Jordan's 1st Science Project

Jordan had to make a robot for his 3rd grade science class. It could be made of any materials from around the house. We chose styrofoam and sprayed it gray. His name is Carpenter 300 (named after Chris Carpenter, a pitcher for the Cards) and he is a pitching machine robot. He comes with diff. speeds to pitch to you. Jordan had to present his robot to his class today, I am anxious to see what kind of grade he receives!

Jacob and Anna

I watched Miss Anna Brown today for Nic and the kids were playing firefighters so I had to snap a few pics. They play good together 90% of the time and have their occasional disagreements. They remind me of an old, married couple! They are super cute kids, if I do say so myself!

Fall Break at Lake Rudolph

Fall Break for Warrick County was last Friday and Monday (16 and 19 of Oct.) and we spent our break camping at Lake Rudolph with my parents and my sister, bro-in-law and nephew. Last year was our first year to camp during Halloweekends and we had so much fun we wanted to go again. This time we went in style and my parents rented a King Size RV and it was so nice! Lake Rudolph is a camp ground/RV resort next to Holiday World in Santa Claus, IN. During the last weekend of Sept. through Halloween weekend they host Halloweekends, a variety of activities to do for Halloween/Fall. On Friday night, they had hayrides and movie night but it was raining and really chilly, so we stayed in the camper and made s'mores over the fire and the kids watched Monsters vs Aliens on the laptop. Saturday morning the kids went to the Halloween carnival and played games, drew on pumpkins and made Halloween pillows/trick or treat bags. On Sat. night, the kids went trick-or-treating around the campground. The kids had a blast and I look forward to doing it again next year. I love this time of year!!

Church Hayride/Bonfire

The Beard's hosted our church's 3rd annual hayride/bonfire on Oct. 10. We had perfect weather, good food and awesome fellowship. My boys were so filthy at the end of the evening but they enjoyed every minute!!! Thanks Bobby and Stacey for being the perfect host/hostess!
