HOPEKIDS FAMILY PHOTOS

We were so thankful to have the opportunity to have family photos made at no cost to us.  Thanks to Kendall with Kendall Crossen Photography for donating her time and talents.  










NOVEMBER 2014 WRAP UP

Highlights from November.....


We found a new breakfast joint near our house.  It has whipped cream on the hot chocolate!



Grace had an ice cream treat on the way home from lunch.  She ate it in the car.  This is the result....

50th day of school!


School pictures 2014.  So cute!!

This is the painting that Grace did for the head chef with Make-a-Wish.  We finally made it to his restaurant.  This is hanging in the main dining room.   The food was amazing!


Headed TO get family photos done.....

She put her head band on by herself.  She is full of personality!!


Grace's Thanksgiving feast at school.  I am so thankful that I was able to go over and eat with her.


I found this in Grace's backpack.  I have no idea when she made it.

This kid cracks me up.  She was just laying in the bag watching TV.

OCTOBER 2014 WRAP UP

We had lots of fun in October!!  Here are a few highlights!
I love it when God speaks to me with his skies.

Love these 2!

I always get scared when Soap Man shows up.

My school had a Weenie Roast.  The kids loved meeting Lamb Chop.
 Grace and I got to go "work" together.  The Rangerettes and ADTS teamed up for a fun workshop and performance.  Grace had so much fun!!

Mrs. Joyce gave her this purse.  She loves it!

HOPEKIDS YESTERLAND FARM

We love HopeKids!  They have provided our family with some neat opportunities.  One was a trip to Yesterland Farm.  This is a neat place about 2 hours from our house.  We were able to spend the night at Craig's parents the night before to cut down on drive time.  Yesterland Farm had small rides for the kids to ride, pumpkin smashing, a corn maze, apple smashing, and "mining" for treasures.  We had such a great time!!
