Our Jr. Bible Quizzer

This past weekend we went to Vidor, TX for the Jr. Bible Quiz Retreat. This was Haiden's third year to participate, and he was one of the top thirteen kids to receive a 1st place trophy. There were a total of 61 beginner quizzers at this tournament. We are very proud of him for working hard at Bible Quizzing. It can be very trying and tiring for us all at times but we believe it is well worth it all. He is getting so much of God's word in him by memorizing all the verses and we get it as parents also with all the reviewing we do. He has learned a total of 92 verses so far this year, and will learn more. This has got to be the best program for children to be a part of, and we love it!

The trophy in his right hand is from the retreat in Vidor, and the one in his left hand is from the Quiz Tournament he attended in January of this year in Dallas. This is an All Tournament Team trophy which means he was one of the top quizzers with highest average points.
This is Austin and Haiden. They have been Bible Quizzing partners for three years now and they make an awesome team! Austin received a second place trophy in Vidor this past weekend.

A Wonderful Time

Well my husband and I had a wonderful time without the kids. We made ourselves slow down and enjoy our surroundings. We stayed at the Gaylord Texan from Friday until Sunday and only left one time for about an hour and half. Sometimes we get so used to going and doing that it makes it hard to slow down, but we did it!

Just Us

Wow, tomorrow we leave and head to Jasper to take the children to grandmas! My husband started thinking this out a few weeks ago and was able to make it all work out. We both can not wait! We will come back and stay in Dallas on Friday & Saturday night, then come back home Sunday and I will go back to Jasper on Tuesday to get the children. We get five days to ourselves. Don't get me wrong now we both love our children very much but you know sometimes you just need a nice break. If were lucky to get five minutes in at the house and make the kids stay in another room besides the one we are in, we call this "mommy-daddy quiet time"! It was funny, today Chris came home from work and we were in the room eating ice cream while the kids were playing and here comes Ryan, turns on the light and says this is "mommy-daddy quiet time", and we asked, "him what are you doing in here then?" We will miss our children but we will also enjoy ourselves greatly!
