Way too long...

Ok, it's been way too long since I've updated our blog. I started working again and finding time for the blog has been on the back burner!! Alot has happened since I last blogged. Coley played basketball for the first time and did really well, he learned alot. Cade got the reading award at his awards ceremony for school. Coley was invited to join the Beta Club. We are very proud of both of our boys. If our days haven't been busy enough, they are just about to get busier (if that is even possible). Baseball season has begun. Cade is playing coach pitch for the first time this year and he is so excited, he loves baseball. The name of his team is Red Sox. Coley is playing baseball too, his team is called the Tarheels. Youth camp is only a couple months away and that probably will be the busiest time of the year. I've been working at the daycare at our church to help them out until the end of May. I've also been working on our new website for CEM department. Check it out, (just click on the picture below) . I'm so proud of it, it looks really great.

Well maybe it will not as long the next time I blog!! Enjoy a few recent pictures of the boys below.

Catching up with Friends...

Today we had the chance to see our friends the Beemers from San Antonio. We saw Warren a few months ago but it's been way too long since we've seen Susan and the girls. We love spending time with them. Their family means so much to us. We were able to hear Warren speak at Mt Olive PH Church today and then eat lunch with them too. Here are a few pics of our kids, they act like they have never been apart from each other!! Susan and Warren have just started a new ministry 3DG Ministry and we pray that God will do awesome things through them and their new ministry!!

Happy Thanksgiving

We spent thanksgiving this year in Alabama... the boys got to spend alot of time with their cousins, whom they haven't seen in over a year. When they get together it's like they haven't been apart. Caleb is 9 now and Jaida is almost 5. While we were there, Miss Jaida decided to shave her legs....SHE IS 4. I thought Jon's mom would have a heart attack. She told Jaida that it would all grow back and probably more and Jaida's reply was "well then I'll just shave them again"!! That girl is a hoot, her and Cade are definately related. Coley and Caleb are alot alike too, the both love sports and always get along great! We sure do miss spending time with them!

Flat Stanley

Cade had a school project where he had to take Flat Stanley on an adventure with him durning the Thanksgiving holiday. Jon's mom just ate this up b/c she is a kindergarten teacher. So we took pictures of Flat Stanley everywhere we went while we were in Alabama. Another great thing happened while we were in Alabama.....they beat Auburn!!! Woo hoo...that makes them 12-0 going into the SEC Championship, let me just say that was a great day for Jon!!

Coley turns 11

Coley turned 11 on November 20th...man does time fly! He is becoming a fine young man and we are extremely proud of him. We love you Coley!

Alabama beats LSU!!

Alabama went into Tiger country this past Saturday and beat LSU 27-21. Although they still have 2 more games to play, they are going to play Florida in the SEC Championship!! We have some people at our church who are huge Florida fans...I can see Mrs. Amy doing the gator chomp at us now! Hopefully Alabama will win the next two games and keep the #1 spot. I know Jon has been a happy man these past 10 or 11 weeks!!! Roll Tide Roll!!

Cardboard Testimonies

A Church did a drama just like this at camp meeting this past summer and it gave me the chills! It's a very moving drama. Any church/organization can do it w/ their own church family and move anyone to tears. Check out this link!
