Day 921

Family Math Night

Nachos and Numbers

Trimathalon 

Those were the names given this night. We went to the elementary school for math games and nachos. The big door prize was a bike, so despite being sick, I HAD to go! We didn't win the bike.... Here is my beautiful Samantha!

Day 920

Hannah coloring her favorite thing (princesses) with her favorite color (pink).

Day 919

Our  church is in the middle of renovating the preschool suite. Way back in August 2008 we got to write the names of loved ones on the floor of the under construction sanctuary. These names are prayed over, so that they  may one day come to know Christ. Samantha's name is there, and I was able to show her the location where I wrote her name after she was saved. Today we got the opportunity to write names of children on the floor of the preschool suite. These children...future leaders, will be prayed for. The kids got to put handprints on the floor, and I wrote their names under their hands. Samantha also wrote the names of some of her friends. 

Foundation of Prayer

Day 918

Today was Samantha's last soccer game...followed by the end of season party. Samantha's friend Landry came to the game. Samantha was so excited she got to come. Landry's brother, Carter, and Hannah watched a movie on my phone most of the time. It was cute. I wish I would have gotten a picture of them sitting next to each other in the chair! 

Here is a photo of Landry and Hannah

After the game, we headed over to the park for the party. Hannah had way too much fun on this "pony"! 

The girls were excited about the cake!

The coach said a few words about Samantha when she got her trophy. 

The whole team

My beautiful soccer star!

Day 917

Josh from December 2000! 

Day 916

Here is another old photo. This one is from 2003. Hannah loves this photo and is always carrying it around. She doesn't understand that she is NOT in this photo and will argue with me over it. This was taken Mother's day weekend at Sea World. I was pregnant with Caleb and had just gotten off of 8 weeks bed rest. I didn't exactly ease into unrestricted activity did I? Samantha is the cutie in the stroller. Josh is the little guy. Hard to believe that he is now almost as tall as me!!!!

Day 915

I forgot to take a picture today (11/2), so I found an old photo to scan. These are 2 of my senior photos. 

Day 914

Some of Caleb's loot. He ended up with 3 of these big butterfingers!

Day 913

Happy Halloween! Josh was Elvis. Caleb was a Ghostbuster. Samantha was a schoolgirl witch. Hannah was Sleeping Beauty. We went over to dad and Janie's this year. The kids always LOVE going there for Halloween. We all went around their street. Then Hannah and I went back to the house, while Marc took the big kids all over the neighborhood. They came back with tons of candy. I was surprised, because they came back with BIG candy bars...a lot of them. They had a blast!

I threw together a doctor outfit from things I had around the house. 

Day 912

Picture day for soccer was the weekend we were out of town. We missed it, but there was a problem with the photographers memory card. The group pictures didn't turn out, SO I got to take my own group picture of the team. Samantha is the only 4th grader in that group of girls!

Samantha was a GREAT defense player!
