STATE FINALS

Okay, we leave tomorrow for the Bible Quizzing state finals! The boys should be more ready now than they have been all year. Austin has been with us for a week and we have practiced and reviewed for about 3 hours a day, yes, I said three hours PER DAY, lol! It really is a lot of work for us parents. You know putting up with the kids who groan and moan cause they don't feel like reviewing, but as parents we make them and they have no choice. The boys really do enjoy Bible quizzing but just like anyone, they get tired of working on it at times. When the boys first got here on Friday, Haiden could quote all 184 of his verses in like 33 minutes and today he made record timing by saying them all in 17min,44sec. Austin was saying his in like 46min and made his record timing of 27min today. So they have both got there material down and we are proud of them both just for knowing scripture from the God's word. Pray they do wonderful and the results of their tournament will be in the next post!

FAMILY

After camp meeting we headed to Jasper and spent a little time with our families before heading home. We were actually able to see all of our brothers and sisters this time, it doesn't always work out that way. This means there were lots of children around. On both sides of our families there seems to be quiet a few kids all around the same age so they always have fun. Just want to say thanks to our moms for keeping the two little ones while we were at camp. We enjoyed our visit! My oldest sister, Bridgett, called me tonight and read me a letter I wrote her when I was nine years old. It was hilarious! I got a good laugh tonight from that. It just made me wish I knew what I was thinking writing some of that stuff. It said something about a black cat going to court, and me nor my sister have any idea what that was about, LOL! Memories are wonderful!
