Stars Of Tomorrow
Evonne and her friend, Levi, performed in last night's Stars of Tomorrow talent show.
They won third place ($100) and were invited to sing at a community picnic in August.
They made us all proud!

NO TECH TUESDAY
This year, we are trying something that never would have occurred to me that there would be a need for when I started homeschooling in 1996. I have outlawed the use of technology on Tuesdays, as in no internet-no social media-off the radar all day and hanging out with Mom! The news was quite a shock, at first, but I think it has opened a whole new world for the kids, which is really an old world for anybody over 30.
I think they have found that amazing things can be accomplished when you aren't carrying an Ipod that buzzes for your attention every 30 seconds.
We spent the morning picking blackberries and the came back and David made this beautiful Blackberry Crisp.
Alanna and Evonne made Blackberry freezer jam
Alanna decided to make 4 loaves of Banana Bread (2 with nuts, 2 without)
Then we made a huge pan of Pork Fried Rice for dinner.
Evonne and Alanna even spent several hours clearing paths through the blackberry patch to make picking easier for next time, and David went jogging. They also got in math lessons, and some games. I feel like I have my kids back (at least on Tuesday)!
Tyler-we'll save you some jam and make more crisp and B. Bread when you get home. The girls wanted to send you some jam, but I don't think that would work :)

PROUD MAMA!
Every day last week, our 3 teenagers willingly turned off their Ipods to spend 3 1/2 hrs./evening sharing the Love of Jesus to over 100 active little kids at Vacation Bible School!
Well done, guys!

Family Movie Night
David and Evonne are part of a Youth Leader program at church, and are working to raise money to go to a Leadership conference in California this summer.
To say that this church supports it's youth is a understatement!
It was a packed house and a huge success.
And it was a whole lotta FUN!
The kids and their youth group leaders hosted a Free Family Movie Night at the church.
The fundraising part came from selling goodies to the movie watchers (many of whom donated the goodies).
You can't watch a movie without popcorn!
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
Timothy 4:12

8 YEARS!
Eight years ago these two scared and excited
little kids walked into the lives of our scared and excited family.
Things haven't been the same, since! (that's a good thing)
Truthfully it seems like it's been a lot more than 8 years because it's hard to remember when they were not here. The important thing, though, is that we are grateful they are part of our family forever.
We love you guys! You make us proud!

We are very proud of you both!
