Spring Program 2008

Otter Creek had it's Spring Program last Thursday. Here are my two cuties before the performance Each class was a different animal/ object you would associate with spring...Christian's class were little lambs
One song had them shaking their little booties during the chorus. Christian (at the far right) and Robert (in the middle) were really getting down:) He did so well in all the songs...he has gotten more confident with each show (they do a christmas and spring program every school year). The class recited a remake of Psalm 23...I'll try to get Jeff to pst video sometime b/c it was soooo sweet

Miss Fisher's Little Lambs

My mother-in-law told me she wasn't impressed with my snow pictures!! Blogger quit working on me before I could include the best one:) I love how you can see all the parts of the snowball he is throwing at the camera

SNOW

Saturday morning we woke up to a beautiful blanket of snow!!! This is the first time Baylor has been old enough to do much of anything in the snow...she DID NOT like to have snowballs thrown at her, but LOVED running around


Christian loves to make snow angels
Baylor's little hands were getting cold, but she wouldn't put on gloves

Friday Night Dinner

My parents are trying to get to know more people at church...they are starting with my age group and inviting a couple of families to dinner every other Friday. It took us a month to get the first two there so we'll see how well it goes from now on. The kids all had fun being together and its just nice to be with other adults sometimes:)
The girls table was nice and quiet
The boys were loud and spilt a little of everything!!
We had fun with the Troups and Braggs...glad the weather did not keep it from happening

Anyone else wishing it was Summer?
I bought the kids these swimsuits at the consignment sale this weekend and they spent an entire evening playing in them

Snow pictures to come soon:)

This and That

As I have mentioned before--we have started a new Life Group with some friends at church. Here are three of our girls: Carolyn, Baylor and Avery are all within 6 weeks of each other. Finley isn't pictured, but is just as cute and will catch up to these girls before we know it. Some of you already know this, but here is the picture proof...My little man has started Karate!! He looks so cute in his little uniform and is already learning so much.
When the instruction time is over the teacher gave them a 'fun treat' of wrestling each other off the mat. There are rules in place and they have to follow them, but they all still had a blast pushing each other.
I need a better zoom on my camera, but if you look at the end of the row on the left you can see Christian

Our weekend

I think we are safe in proclaiming that Baylor and I some how missed all the sickness!!! Praise the Lord.

This weekend was spent hanging out...I had dinner with Tressa on Friday and now her new boy is here:) He has yet to be named, but is a healthy 6lbs 140z and 20in long!!!

Saturday we hung out as a family and then Jeff and I recieved an impromtu 'date'. My parents watched the kids so we could go car shopping. My husband wants a mini-van so bad he can taste it! I on the other hand have said FOR YEARS that I don't want a van...I think I'm losing the battle b/c Jeff has gotten Christian in on the act now. I don't want one, I don't want one, I don't want one!! but Saturday night found me test driving one anyway

Sunday was spent at church in a very somber service. One of the young couples just lost their second baby and many were moved to tears. That evening was spent with my new Life Group girls: Amy, Laura and Becca. We are excited about what God has in store for our group and look forward to our future together. While we did some girl bonding over dinner at Chilli's the guys stayed at our house with the kids. We women finally came home and had a wonderful time of prayer...mainly over the Troups as we are in baby watch for their second child. We can't wait to see if Avery will have baby brother or sister!!

That was our weekend and this weekend is all about the OTTER CREEK CONSIGNMENT SALE!! If you are in Nashville please come on Thursday, Friday(all day both days) and Saturday (1/2 price) day
