Dylan's Birthday Sleepover!

Dylan enjoyed his birthday with his friends at the new North Arundel Aquatics Center in Glen Burnie.
They have a really great water park, complete with slides.
Nick enjoying the sprinkler.
They had a couple races and swam a few laps.
No, I'm not crying because my "baby" turned 10. The chlorine in the air was really strong - burned my eyes.
Nick, Dylan and Josh playing in the guisers.
My dear husband, wishing he had brought his swim suit.
Everette playing in the downpour.
After the swim, we came home for some pizza and snacks. Yes, that is Nick's creation...M&M pizza...yuck!

Dylan enjoyed spending the time with his friends and opening gifts.
His favorite...Ice cream cake!
Time for bed. We are still unclear as to what time they actually went to sleep - if at all!
Sleepyhead's eating breakfast.
Happy Birthday Dylan! We're praying you have many more in service and worship to the Lord! We love you dearly!

Baaaad Puppies!

Yes, puppies are cute and cuddly until......

... somebody wants to PLAY...
...then they turn into snarling, go for the throat, BEASTS!

GRADUATION!

Friday night was Toby and Shelby's Graduation at PetSmart. They completed an 8 week long puppy training class that included all the basics.
These are their classmates, Jesse and Jo Jo. They are brother and sister, from the same litter too. Jo Jo is WAY smaller than Jesse.
It's pretty cool what a puppy will do for a treat!
ATTENTION!
The graduating class complete with hat's and tassels!
CONGRATULATIONS PUPPIES!

DIARY OF ANNE FRANK

The homeschool group went to Toby's Theatre on Friday to see The Diary of Anne Frank.
The group of us before heading to Columbia Mall for lunch.
We brought back a few of Ashley's friends, for a couple hours, before they went to the Teen Impact at church. It's been a while since I've seen this scene!

Happy Birthday Dylan!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUGAR BEAR!
Dylan turned 10 years old yesterday! We have a house rule of "No gum until 10!" Grandma got him $50 worth of GUM! What fun! At least most of it is sugarless! Dylan will have a sleepover with some "buddies" in a couple weeks!

Spring's Coming!

You know spring is not far away when Aunt Grace gets her peeps! She usually orders them live and they come in the mail. This year Uncle Mark got her an incubator, and she is hatching her own!
We heard one peeping from inside the egg, before it started to crack open. Aunt Grace helps them out once they start breaking through. She's quite the Momma hen!
She keeps them warm by the fire for a few hours.
She then moves them to a heated box. It's amazing how quickly they change!
Ashley and Dylan loved cuddling with them! How wonderful the Creator is! What an awesome God we have!

Couple More Random Pics!

Congratulations Sarah and Jeremy! They had thier wedding reception at the church on the 17th.
Our Jr. Church group! We completed a unit on God's Care for us.

Ephesians 3:14-19

"For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen."
