Music Man! and Woman!

I am one blessed momma, both my kiddos can sing!  This is a gift from God and was not passed down from either parent! This week we had the pleasure of attending KJ's Middle School Choir Concert and Michael's Show Choir Fundraiser (Fine Arts Night) I am still trying to figure out how to upload video's on here with out having to put them on Youtube first.  So for now you will have to settle with some pictures of the two nights! Hope you enjoy them!

Happy Halloween!

Every year our church hosts a Harvest Party the Wednesday prior to Halloween, we have carnival style games, pass out candy and get to dress up!  It is so much fun!  I love to see all of the creative costumes! Plus it's a great way to reach out and share some love with our town, in a non-threatening way.  There is no charge and everyone is welcome! (See Christians can have fun! :)) I personally luv Halloween and dressing up! Who doesn't like to feel like a kid again sometimes! Anyway all of us got in the spirit! The Hubby reprieved his role as Spice T (you might remember that from VBS this summer) I came as Mary Poppins! MR C was a Jack in the Box (he made the costume entirely himself) and KJ was Perry Platypus.  We all had a great time and even got a little candy afterwards! Here are a few of the pictures!

Have a Beautiful Day!

Today was a great day!  First I was off and able to sleep in! Yeah! I spent the afternoon with my two favorite 4th grade twins M&M!  Had a fun little photo shoot, made cookies, and watched Punky Brewster! Gotta love a day off in the middle of the week! <3

Here are a few of the photo's I too k today! They were so much fun to photograph, and they had lots of good ideas for where and what pose they wanted their picture to be taken!  Enjoy the pictures!

KJ my sweet baby girl is in her second year of Middle School (7th grade!) can't even believe it! She is such a beautiful girl inside and out!  Makes a momma proud! She joined the cross country team and did fabulous!  Her times improved each race and she even got a few medals! A minor injury kept her out of her last two races but she is healing up, and  getting herself conditioned for track in the spring!   She is doing amazingly well in all her classes all A's and one B.  We are Super proud of her! Here are a few Cross Country Photo's: 

Have a Beautiful Day!

MR C

So Life has been crazy!  I thought I would update on the kids individually.  So MR C is in the midst of his Sophomore year in High School!

He is in debate and loving it!  He has been to a few competitions and won a few rounds and lost a few as well.  He truly enjoys the art of debate!

 MR C was asked, is one of two student representatives on the Technology Team for our School district. He gets to or maybe has to attend the monthly meetings and gives his input about technology use/availability for students in our district.

Last week we attended the first Choir Jazz Band concert of the Year at the High School!  MR C is in his first year of show choir and excelling! They had a couple choreographers come in a few weeks ago and help them with their competition song  Born this Way Lady Gaga.  Below are a few pictures from the practice and concert!  (I will try to load the video)

MR C is playing Schroder in the School Musical : Your a Good Man Charlie Brown   We will get to see him in action in a few weeks!











Here are the Show Choir Pictures!

P.S. Stay Tuned for KJ's update!  

Courageous The Movie

The Hubby and I had the amazing privileged of attending the advanced showing of the Movie Courageous tonight with two very dear friends of ours! I laughed, I cried, I was shocked, surprised, and my heart melted all within the 2hours of this movie! I will go see this again, and again! It is by far one of the best movies I have ever seen.   I don't want to give away any of the movie because you truly need to go see it but I will tell you this bring tissues because you will cry or at least tear up within the first 5 minutes of the movie. It's inspiring and I am excited to see how families will change after seeing this.  There is plenty of action to keep even the shortest of attention spans, and enough drama/heartfelt moments for us girls!

Here is a brief synopsis of the movie:

Honor Begins at Home

Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, David Thomson, and Shane Fuller are confident and focused. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood.

While they consistently give their best on the job, good enough seems to be all they can muster as dads. But they're quickly discovering that their standard is missing the mark.

When tragedy hits home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God ... and to their children?

Filled with action-packed police drama, COURAGEOUS is the fourth film from Sherwood Pictures, the moviemaking ministry of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia. Riveted moviegoers will once again find themselves laughing, crying, and cheering as they are challenged and inspired by everyday heroes who long to be the kinds of dads that make a lifelong impact on their children.

Protecting the streets is second nature to these men. Raising their children in a God-honoring way? That's courageous.

In Theaters September 30

In Wichita Courageous will be showing at 13th st Warren and Warren West (21st st) 

So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the Lord!

Psalm 31:24

 But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15
