Bible Drill 2010

When we joined First Baptist, one thing I was really thrilled about was that they had Bible Drill. So this past year has been a busy one practicing and learning the Bible! Both boys were in it, and it really was so exciting watching them in each of the drills they participated in. They have learned soooo much and we are so proud of them!
This past weekend was the State Drill! We were thrilled that Zach made it to State his first year! Way to Go Zach!! We were happy Dan's parents were able to join us watching Zach drill. He did great!

We ran into Dan's 3rd cousin, Scott! Scott lives in Denver City, TX (about 90 miles from Odessa) and his daughter was in the drill too!! It is always nice to see family!!
Dan really worked hard with Zach helping him memorize his references to the right verse! Way to go Dad! I ♥ U!

Here is Zach in the line up!
(below) all the 6th graders!! What a great looking bunch of kids!!! ♥
Zach and his buddies! It was hard getting Zach to give me a good smile...
Here is the whole group! This was the largest Bible Drill group! 26 kids!! The lady in the middle is our Children's Director, Dena! She is great!

After the drill, the kids went to the Main Event for a couple of hours of fun to celebrate their hard work!! Zach and Drew have been dying to go there!!!
They even had us featured on their Events marquee!!
I think Drew's picture sums up how the weekend was!!

We had a very blessed Easter. Hope you did too!

He is not here; He has risen, just like he said. Matthew 28:6

Spring!

This year, I finally got the boys and I something to grow!!! We got this "Topsy Turvy" tomato plant holder (to keep them away from the dog) and are growing a tomato plant!!
You sure need a lot of stuff for one little plant! ha ha!!
I thought I'd throw in my polka-dotted toes that look spring~y!!

I have always wanted a strawberry plant, so the boys can just go pick one whenever they want! I hope we can keep this growing and healthy!!
And when this big fern turned brown during the winter, I didn't know if it would grow back! To my delight, it is!! I have always wanted to have a "green" thumb. We'll see if I can grow tomatoes and strawberries!
Happy Spring!!
But he who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward. Proverbs 11:18
