Thanksgiving 2011

SPOILER: The above picture will be on your Christmas card! Too bad Joshua doesn't look thrilled.

Relaxing

See, now he looks thrilled.

This one was at our Thanksgiving potluck party with HEofS after P.E. the Monday before Thanksgiving.


Here's some pictures from Thanksgiving up in Strawberry. I'm ready for more turkey!

Here is God's Girlz. This picture was from their first match over a week ago. They won 5 out of 6 rounds and are in 2nd place right now. Their next match is in January and Hannah has 70 more questions to learn in less than 2 months.

Football Medal/Cute Kids

Cute kids:)

Pictures are self-explanatory.

Joshua's 8 year picture-Again (re-take)

Well, you all know how this boy hates getting his picture taken. So this year I took his picture and figured that would have to suffice. Now you all will be getting a replacement picture because I like this one better. This is his yearbook picture that a mom from our homeschool group took. We had the option to buy pictures so I bought the download so I could print what I wanted at Sam's Club. Hannah's 12 year old picture is done too. Some of you already got it and some are waiting to be mailed. Hannah missed "picture day" for the yearbook because she was still exhausted from her play performances that she didn't go to PE that day. So her yearbook picture will have to be one I send in.

I'm hoping to get Thanksgiving pictures up soon.

Fools Play

Welcome to this small "cursed" village in the Ukraine.

Yenchna, the vendor.

Our beautiful actress.

Hannah's performances in Fools is over and the post production sadness will soon set in for her. She was GREAT! The whole cast did great. It was a comedy about a small village in Russia cursed with stupidity. Hannah was a vendor named Yenchna. There was laughter every minute and I'm thankful for the audience members who decided to spend their entertainment money on supporting these kids in their passion for theater. I don't think I've seen an overpriced big blockbuster movie that made me laugh as much. Good family fun entertainment. She performed Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Then she & I stayed for the other cast's performance that evening. She had so much fun. Thanks to my parents and some church & homeschool families who took the time to support our future star:) It meant so much to her to have you there.

Yesterday started off with Joshua's last flag football game at 8 am. They lost. They only won 2 games but I think the team had fun. The final tournament is next weekend. It falls the same day as Hannah's 1st Junior Bible Quiz match. If you think of it, I would appreciate prayers for that upcoming match. I want the girls to do their best & have fun and try not to be nervous. Prayers for all the girls to stay healthy would be good too.

Hannah's 12th Theater/Improv Theme Birthday Party

I don't know how to make the picture go the right way but hopefully you get the idea of a "ticket" for the theme with some star cupcakes. Her birth date is on the ticket too if you look closely.

With Grandam & Papa


Hannah had her theater/improv themed birthday party this past weekend. She and her friends (and sometimes an adult) played improv games. Some of the games were really funny. I even made a "walk of fame" up the walk to the front door with all the kids' names inside a chalk star. She had fun so I guess it was a success.
