Pageant Time

We had our street fair in West Union last Friday night. Tori wanted to be in the "Little Miss" pageant. So, I agreed and we were able to borrow a beautiful dress. A girl from our church fixed Tori's hair and she looked so adorable!! I was so proud of her. She did such a good job and had so much fun!!

Here is Tori with daddy and Preston!

Mommy and Tori.

During the interview, they asked each child what they were going to do this summer. Tori said she is going to read books this summer. I am glad she likes to read. We have already been trying to read everyday since school has been out. I am also planning many trips to the library this summer for Tori to get more books to read. Last summer our public library had a lot of activities for kids. We took advantage of those and Tori really had a good time. Don't get me wrong, I think she is wanting to do a lot of swimming and going to Kings Island this summer also.

Tori won 2nd Runner up!! Good job Tori!!

Here she is waving at us. She is such a ham. Don't know where she gets that from!!

Tori we are so proud of you!! You are an amazing little girl, who is so sweet and kind. Daddy and I are proud to be your parents!!!

Gymnastics Recital

Tori had her Gymnastics Recital a few weeks ago. My mom was able to come and we were so excited. Tori was so happy because Grandma was able to stay all night with us and then we went shopping the next day. We had a great time. Thanks mom for coming to visit us!!
Tori did really well at her recital. The pics I had of her class actually doing their gymnastics did not come out very well. so I am not posting them. But here are a few pictures of the recital. Tori really loves gymnastics and she is very good at it. We are very proud of you Tori! We love you!!!

Happy Birthday Preston!!

Today is Preston's 1st Birthday!! I cannot believe he is one today. This has been the fastest year of my life!! We will be having a small party for him tomorrow. I sang Happy Birthday to him this morning and he just smiled at me. I know he has no idea what's going on, but I am so excited to see him eat his cake tomorrow. He is growing up way to fast! Happy Birthday Preston! We love you!!!

Pics from Master's Commission Graduation 09

Here are 2 pictures from our Master's Commission Graduation. One of me and Matt and on of Matt's parents, Boyd and Glenda Young. I forgot to take my camera to the Graduation, so someone sent me these pics. We had 2 students from New Mexico and 1 from Utah, and 2 others that were local. This was the first year that we did Master's. It went well. Made some great lasting relationships. I already miss my "girls". I spent a lot of time with them over the past 9 months. They were awesome and I really felt as if I was sowing into their lives. Really makes you feel like you are doing something. I miss them, Lizzy and Georgia...you are amazing and God is going to great things through you both. Can't wait till next year's Master's Commission starts. I will have to post pictures of the students later. By the way, if you don't know, Master's Commission is kind of like a Bible College for these students. But its even better than that, it's more hands on ministry. Giving 9 months of your life to seeking God and seeking his will in your life. Pretty amazing! I will post more later...been super, super busy!! Have an awesome summer everyone!!
