Awanna Boys

Every Wednesday night, we go to Awannas. If you're not familiar with Awannas, it is a program that teaches children scripture. They memorize a Bible verse weekly. Even Bubby has to learn a scripture every week. After they learn their verses, they recite it for their teacher and get checked off in their book. They earn patches or pins for their vests by reaching different levels. Below is a picture of the boys with their vests. They are very proud of their vests! I am very proud of them! It always amazes me when, out of the blue, they spout off a verse they've learned. I'm just now able to do that and I'm ...... well let's just say I'm getting up there in years. If you have Awannas where you live, I would highly recommend taking your children. It's wonderful!

p.s. You would think I could have found a better background for this picture. Just ignore the box of Easter decorations behind them. It hasn't found it's way back home yet.

Hodge Podge

Well now that I'm in the blogging world, I thought I would try to figure out how to add pictures to my posts. I can't very well use this as an online scrapbook/journal if I cannot post pictures can I? Let's see if I can do this.....



Oh, there we go. Wow! This is cool! This is Bubby being......well Bubby.

This is a pic of the boys on Easter morning. Aren't they handsome!?!

This is the boys sitting in the back of a fire truck. It's not a very good pic, but now I can't figure out how to get it off without deleting my entire post. And honestly, I'm just too lazy to do the whole thing over again.

This is T-Rev conquering his fear of the "Dreaded Rock Wall." He had a bad experience when he was 5. He had gotten half way up the wall and couldn't figure out how to get back down. He's been afraid of climbing another one since then. On this day, a few weeks ago, he just decided he was tired of being afraid and took the bull by the horns and just did it. I was so proud of him.

This is a picture of their homeschool group at the Fire Station. Again, not a very good picture, but I don't have time to figure out how to erase just the picture and not the entire post. My next pictures will be better I promise. I have to run now and take the boys to Awannas. Maybe I can do more when I get home. I still want to figure out how to put a slide show in my posts.

Blogging world debut

Well I've finally entered the blogging realm. Welcome to our online scrapbook. I wanted to do this blog so I can chronicle our days for myself, our family, and our friends. Hopefully, as I figure this blogging thing out, my site will get better and better. Wish me luck!
