Team DBC Outdoors Ministry

DBC has an outdoors Ministry that allows for guys who love the outdoors, to come together and fellowship around this common interest. A recent event held on April 24, 2010, was 3d Archery shoot. We put a team together and went out to the Cinnamon Creek Archery Range in Argyle. This was a great event at a great venue. We shot at 50 targets ranging from 15 to 40 yards. There was a good mix of animals, deer, hogs, bears, turkey, elk, moose, frog, raccoon, and more. I took the camera out (click on the picture to see more pics) and got a few shots, however, I failed to charge the battery so I only got a few.

Looking forward to doing this again sometime!

DBSM Mud Fest Volleyball Tournament

Today was the first annual Mud Fest Volleyball Tournament put on by the Denton Bible Student Ministries team in conjunction with the Denton Area FCA. It was awesome!!! Keri reffed most of the games so I had kid duty. I loaded Trip in the backpack carrier and Joss has so many friends at DBSM now that I was able to get a few pics. Some of them turned out really well. This is one of my favorites. Look at all the mud and water splashing. I was able to catch this student mid-air as he leaped onto the dog pile! (click on the picture to view more pics from the event)

This was a really exciting event. The students got ridiculously dirty, and had a blast. There were 2 mud courts that saw non-stop action all day long. The weather leading up to this was perfect. We got tons of rain yesterday and today the sun ended up coming out.

Good times!!!!

Trip is 1

How is it possible that my sunshine is 1 already? It seems like just a few weeks ago I was holding him, laughing & falling in love the day he came into my arms. God has truly blesses us with such a happy son. Not a day goes by that I don't think how sweet & huggable he is.

My top 5 favorite things about Trip:

1. He lets me hold him as long as I want to.

2. Even when he's trying my patience he is still grinning & so sweet about it-he's going to be so hard to disipline. That is of course if he ever needs it. ;)

3. He says "eeeeese!" for pictures ("cheese!)

4. His soft cheeks & deep blue eyes swallow my heart every day.

5. He promised me he would never grow up.

Ok so the last one isn't true, but a momma can dream can't she?

Baking with Joss

First let me start off with a shout out to my baker in training who helped me make Trip's birthday cake. Since Trip doesn't care about what kind of cake he has at this point, I let Joss pick. So of course she picked her favorite-chwocwate. She's a smart one. She really just wants to "help with the cake" (read: eat chwocwate batter). We have so much fun when we bake together. I love baking so much & just don't get to do it enough. She insisted we use the kitchen aid mixer-she's a girl after my own heart. I think every young bride should have a kitchen aid mixer in her kitchen repertoire-it makes a world of difference. Thank you to my kindest & dearest Kimmie & Chris Pearson for my "wedding gift" mixer! See the link for Kimmie's baking lessons with Jossi. Here are a few pics of Joss in action.

Christmas was a blast. First white Christmas ever (for us in Texas anyway)!

Our house should be ready really soon.
