1950′s Barn Dance!

May 23rd, 2011

When it was first decided that this year’s barn dance would be a 50′s theme, I thought how fun it would be to wear a simple poodle skirt and ponytail. Then I thought I could go a little further and have some fun with funky colors and prints. Then I considered the red lipstick and authentic hairstyles, and well, we eventually ended up with this!

What do you think? Does it look like we just stepped out of a 50′s soda shop? :-)

Check out the rest of the pictures!

The Dancing

Beautiful surroundings, good music, good dancing, and great friends. It was a wonderful day. I hope yours is just as great!

A Day at the Park

May 3rd, 2011

Nate and Evan just turned 17 and 15 this past month!

Birthdays are, of course, a cause for celebration! so we went with our friends to the local park to spend the day.

Who says playgrounds are just for kids? :-)

After wearing ourselves out on the swings, roller blades and monkey bars, we met back at our house where we topped the party off with a potluck dinner and games.

Hope you had a great time, boys! But then I suppose I really can’t call them “boys” anymore…:-) Happy birthday, gentlemen!

That’s About the Size Of It!

November 16th, 2010

My life over the past few weekends…

“Your Majesty, I beg to put before you loving friends…”  (and yes, that is a line from the King and I! Expect these to slip in frequently when conversing with my family…)  :-)

The one time you see Nate out on stage, not including curtain call. :-)

Silliness!

Walter sings his chant…

Dear friends who came to see the show:

“I wonder if you know what you might be facing ma’am: an Englishwoman, here in the East!”

Cast photos, and more and more cast photos…

And lastly, the set strike.

What an incredible experience!

Church Work/Garage Sale Day

August 19th, 2010

Our church is moving! The Lord has blessed us with the opportunity to rent for a low cost, but, the building needs some work and heavy duty cleaning. So, in preparation to move in by the end of the month, we held a garage sale to get rid of a lot of “stuff”, and also got to work on the interior!

It’s amazing how early “garage-sale-goers” arrive!  Ours began at 8 AM, but people were showing up before we did!

~the inside

Happy sellers!

Smiling Faces

Work time!

And break time.  :-)

A bit of humor and silliness;

~playing around with the letter stickers (inside joke with this one!)

A successful morning!

Birthday on the Lake

August 11th, 2010

My 18th birthday was about two weeks ago, but I celebrated with real a party yesterday, doing my favorite things and being with family and friends – we went to the lake!

Early in the morning my wonderful Dad and brothers packed up our mini van “Homer” with our canoes, paddles and lifevests, while Mom, Angie and I put together picnic baskets, desserts and snacks. Once everything was ready, we carpooled with our friends and headed out to one of our favorite lakes. The rain had stopped and the sun came out just in time as we pulled into our destination. We had beautiful weather!

After spending most of the day on the lake, we went to the movies together and watched Dispicable Me. It was a perfect ending to a perfect day.

Thank you so much, to all my friends who came and made this day such a blast! I hope you had fun; I sure did!

Sunday Fellowship!

August 7th, 2010

Every summer our church usually puts together a schedule we like to call “Sunday Summer Fellowship”; simply pick a Sunday afternoon, plan an activity, and do it! This past weekend we hosted a picnic at one of our favorite spots by the river, and spent several hours swimming, wading, splashing, picnicking, and fellowshipping. It’s just wonderful to be with our brothers and sisters in Christ!

I didn’t take the camera with me when I was in the river (for what I hope are obvious reasons :-) ), but I did steal some photos from friends, as usually, so take a look!

My favorite part of the day? Riding down a miniature waterfall. That was awesome!

The Museum

July 14th, 2010

A science museum, to be exact!  Those are always a lot of fun. :-)

One morning,  a couple weeks ago, we met up with a group of friends to go on a field trip together. It was an all-day outing, including our self guided museum tour, a dinner at Subway, and capping it off at the movie theater watching Toy Story3! (a great movie, by the way! we all loved it, especially since we grew up with the previous two Toy Story movies). We had a great time!

I wish I could be back in that climate controlled, extra cooled museum now; it’s super hot outside! Summer is here!

Jamestown Reunion!

June 27th, 2010

We didn’t win the gold in the Jamestown 400 Treasure Hunt 3 years ago (has it really been that long?), but we always say that the treasure we found was in friends. We know families from all over the country who we’ve only seen once or twice, or only kept in touch online, but we can still get together for a reunion and have a blast together!

Isn’t the family of God so wonderful? I don’t any of us foresaw all these friendships down the road when we first embarked on the hunt with simple catalog clues. It just blows me away!

Anyway, a few of us got together yesterday in northern Georgia for a reunion. We had families from Tennessee, Ohio, Washington, Georgia and South Carolina – it was awesome! We discovered that many of us liked to dance, and within a few minutes a CD had been put on, the furniture moved, and away we went! We played lots of games, fellowshipped over a delicious meal, laughed, talked and reminisced about our treasure hunting days. :-)

It was a wonderful afternoon and evening. We didn’t get home until 2 AM! We must’ve been having fun.

Here are the pictures we took of our day trip!
