25 Years

Phil and Carol celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary in Asheville, NC.
We were able to go to a marriage conference at Billy Graham's training facility called The Cove for two nights and then we stayed an extra night in Asheville to see the Biltmore Estate (shown left) and downtown Asheville. The kids stayed with my folks and friends.
Wow, what a great get away. But Monday morning is hard to say goodbye to Phil going to work and get into housework.

Field day 2008

The second grade at Oak Grove Elementary had field day today. I went to watch David compete with his class in all the fun activities. They did relays, dodge ball, tug of war, capture the flag, water balloon toss and a water war with squirt bottles. It was a beautiful hot day and I am thankful that his class had the morning shift as it is suppose to be 80 today. Next week will be his last week of school!!!

ABBY TURNS THIRTEEN

April 21st Abby turned 13. We celebrated in many various ways. A family party, a surprise party from her karate friends, a friends party with 17 guests, a sleep over with 3 friends and a day at the mall with those three friends and her Mom. Abby has so many great friends. She is very blessed. I am amazed at how easily she can make a new friend and keep in touch with old ones-I think it is a gift. These teen years will give her and us many new opportunities to trust and grow and laugh and we are looking forward to it!!!!!!

Football Party

Saturday we celebrated David's birthday with his friends by playing football. The crew met at an elementary school nearby and played football for about an hour and a half then we went back to our house for cake and ice cream. We had all ages there playing and it was so much fun to watch. Thank goodness for dads who can keep up with that much boy energy. Happy Birthday David, it has been fun celebrating you and the gift you are to our family. God has done great things in your life these 8 years.
