Roy and Nate's First Caving Adventure

Entering the cave...

Nate attempting to take a picture of Daddy, with a cell phone in a dark cave...

"That's a Bat Mom, Isn't it Cute?"

They came out just a tad bit dirty?!?!?

Group Picture! We have a great Boy Scouts group and an even better leader!

Snow Day Part 2

Here are more pictures of "Vella Valley"

Snow 2009

Last year we went to Maggie Valley to play in the snow, this year we got to stay home for the fun snow day. We called it...

Vella Valley!!!

My favorite part of the day was when Nate walked outside and said,

"Mom, it's SNOW-Beautiful out there!!"

Who's gonna say the blessing?

Our rule at our table was, if you took a bite of your food before we prayed, then you are the designated prayer person for the evening. Well, this no longer works...My kids RUN to the table to see who can eat the first bite so they can pray. Since I only have 2 children, our new rule is they can both say a blessing for dinner. If they are fighting over who prays, let them both pray!

Snow Day with Friends

Nate and Ty-Ty

Nate and Dad

Since Ty was too small to go tubing, we took him sledding, and had a blast!

Kayla was home sick with the stomach flu. We miss having her there with us.

We feel very blessed to have such great friends, we love you Joy and Jaime!

My Sister

Charity dropped in for a surprise Christmas visit!!! It was so nice to have her here with us, she always adds life to the party! I am blessed to have her as my sister! Not only is she a great sister, but a great Aunt, and also my friend. Love ya Charity!!
