Happy Birthday Queen B!
We celebrated a couple of weeks ago with dinner and a Casting Crowns Concert.
We sing the "Voice of Truth" and the Queen does an awesome bridge:
But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me
I'm so blessed to call you friend, I hope you have a GREAT day!

Post-Its
I got some birthday love last month
in the form of post-its all over my car.
Which is super cute
and so thoughtful.
But it rained on my parade
and the post-its bled through turning my car pink. Which was fine with me, I need a little more pink in my life:)
You can't see her face but Snow is freaking out.....trying to get the pink off...which she did.

Sunday Best
Last Sunday our youth director's 3rd baby was baptised.
Drew used the opportunity to debut his fancy blazer. It was fun seeing all the guys dressed up.

Who Dat?
Our church is casual. Really casual. I can't think of any other place you can have your baptism,
Hunter's Baptism July 6, 1997
Sing praises to the Lord,
Have your picture taken with the Easter bunny,who will one day grow up to be the youth director.
Watch the SUPER BOWL ,
In the chair of your choice, from home no less,
Hang out with cool people,
While being served by youth running around in referee uniforms, bringing you all the food and drink you want. Good times :)

In February...Love was in the Air
Junior High Cafeteria love....
Hunter and Ryan went to their first school dance.....
with these two sweet girls
two-month-a-versary love
They must want something-teenagers don't show this kind of affection without an agenda.
We really knew something was up when Drew let a girl play with his hair......that can only mean one thing. Not the Drew we know and love.

Mind the Gap
........a British term warning to train passengers of the gap between the train door and the station platform.
A few weeks ago Joe and I taught Junior High Sunday School and the theme "Mind the Gap" fit perfect. We thought, planned, prayed. OK, I planned, Joe bought the Do-nuts:) both equally important. I really thought I had a lesson that was out of the box. In other words, I brought it.
We talked about what stands between us and God. EVERY TIME I asked a question...they had "the" answer.....How do we get to God...Jesus. How many brownie point does is take to get to heaven....Zero. Can you earn your way in.....no. What is Grace....an undeserved gift. If I work in a soup kitchen everyday for the rest of my life.....does it make me a better Christian....No.
I guess they brought it too! They're makin'em smarter these days! We're going to talk "feelings" next, can't wait.
Oh, and we sang my new favortire song Hold Us Together by Matt Maher.
Drew minding his gap-the pins on his sport coat say "Bring Conan back fall 2010".

I had no idea!
A couple of months ago our MFY had an air band/lip sync competition. Usually I would go and video, but this night I wasn't feelin' it. My mistake-Drew and Hunter get in the car and say how AWESOME it was and how EVERYONE Loved theirs!!! So, of course I'm kicking myself. Fast forward to yesterday when I'm looking for something to blog and Hunter says "oh yeah- our lip sync is on YouTube." I love it when other people video tape/take pictures! Thanks soooo much.

Kat-n-Adog
They came for the Mizzou Bowl game-we think it was just an excuse to see us. It was our first time meeting Adog, who was delightful. Our dogs loved him and he obliged. I guess they smelt of his doggy-ness. Here's a sweet Little montage of their visit-hurry back....the hot tub is Hot and the beer is Cold!
While downloading pictures I came across this picture- what a "Renaissance Man" seriously- how often do you see a guy in the kitchen? I've heard he goes into the wilderness to hunt, then comes home and cooks up the prize. Word on the street is that his turkey leg soup is epic.
Proof he hunts- Reindeer on the wall! Nice picture K/C. You can write the caption.

Hit the Deck!
The cousins are coming! You would think since everyone is a year older, more mature that company coming would not be a surprise. That we could plan and clean days in advance. Not.
T minus 10 hours and counting! The Cousins are coming!
