I guess this is the 20th year that our Elementary School has held an “International Day.” It was very cool. Donovan’s class had Mexico, Ashley’s class had England and PJ’s class had New Zealand. They kids have been learning about their country for a while, they had a parade to show off what they had [...]

We had another fun day thanks to the threat of rain. I guess our ward goes to Hard Labor Creek every year for a Memorial Day BBQ. Some years it can be pretty crowded…but because there was a good chance of rain…there was hardly anyone there this year. It was nice all day while we [...]

We all went to Six Flags over Georgia for the first time at the end of May. We went in celebration of Mikayla’s birthday. It was Memorial Day weekend and we thought it would be really crowded. Lucky for us, however, there was a threat of rain that day…the traffic was REALLY light. It did [...]

Liz got to go to her first Prom recently….a Church Prom. It was held at Georgia Tech in downtown Atlanta…several stakes in the area were invited. (For those of you that don’t know what a stake is…it is a congregation comprising several smaller congregations – wards – in a specific geographic area.) Liz went to [...]

Megan had her first “Big” Dance in May. Her middle school had a Semi-formal dance for just the 8th graders. Unfortunately, she thought it was incredibly lame…especially compared to the church dances she is used to going to. But she looked beautiful and got to hang out with her friends for a while. Liz did [...]

Frank took the boys on the Annual (church) Father/Son Campout in early May, which was held at the Charlie Elliot Wilderness Preserve, which is about 45 minutes from where we live. Larry and Seth got to go with them this year. They had a great time until they went to bed and it started POURING [...]

So, we had a Pinewood Derby in April. I had been to a few but never been in charge of one…so it was a learning experience. We only have a handful of Cub Scouts, so we invited our two 11-year-old Scouts (PJ is one of them) to participate as well. PJ won overall in the [...]
