Trunker Treat '09







The Fairy Princess in the making..........














Saturday we had our trunker treat at the church.. it was actually more like tricker-treating in the church hallway because we were rained out! But the kids loved it!

Here are the kidos getting ready to go: *Beware picture overload


And our Brave Dragon or Dinosaur, or someone even called him a crocodile...

Primary Program

Yesterday Tess participated in her first ever primary program .. I had practiced her part with her all week. She could do part of it, but not all of it. so i was really interested to see what she would do.
this was her part:
Sunbeam Teacher: "Sunbeams, How can you make your home like heaven?"
Tessa: (actual responses) "I can play with my cousins and help my mom in the store."

So when the big moment arrived. She had help with the first part. The scolded her teacher saying, "No I can do it myself!" Totally picking that up in the microphone. Then perfectly recited "AND HELP MY MOM IN THE STORE!" Loud and clear! i almost cried! i have never been so proud in my life! I wish i could have seen her face.. I am in primary with nick so we were on the stands as well..

After the program I got numerous responses about how cute Tessa is.. How funny she was, what a good singer she was... (even though she didn't know most of the words she would just SING FROM THE TOP OF HER LUNGS!) There were only three sunbeams right up front and she was definitely putting on a show by the smiles on peoples faces in the audience! It was just so fun to see! It was really an awesome and spiritual program from the primary. I was really impressed with all of them!

The first snow flakes of the season


It was fun to be home for the first snow of the season. I was so excited the first day. Almost a week later and still 3 or 4 inches on the ground. Nick and bundled up everyone for church and as I sat in the car I realized it had been since winter 2005 that we last had to go to church in the snow.. (the one Sunday it did snow in Memphis church was canceled!) So needless to say I was brought to a remembrance.....



my winter wonderland.. home sweet home.....
all ready to go..
