5th Quarter

Our church (BEP) does 5th Quarter after home football games for the local high school. We usually do it at the park across the street from the stadium, but this past week it was at our church. We get over 600 kids after the games for pizza, games, music and the gospel. Good times! I love the shot of the guys doing jump shots for the camera!

Hiking in Maryland

Yes their is hiking in Maryland! Yahoo...and even fun rivers for Seth to fish in.

Carving Fun?!?!

Well here is the end result of the carving...we are not big into scarey stuff thus the goofy face, but Grace doesnt even like the goofy face. When we lit it she said "turn it off" "all done with the pumkin" "scarey yucky mama yucky" So there you have it...We dont mind that she doesnt really like scarey stuff, Halloween doesnt really top our chart for favorite Holidays anyway :)

We tried :)

Pickin out Pumpkins

I think we found one...stay turned for tommorrows Carving adventures...

Blowing Bubbles

This was our neighbor's grandbaby Jack blowing bubbles for the first time...he is pretty intense as he concentrates on blowing, now if he can just remember to put the wand up to his mouth he will have it made!

Childrens Museum in Baltimore

This was a blast! We went up to Baltimore a few weeks ago and Grace got to play with all the fun things at the chilrdens museum. It is a "hands on" place for all ages of kids. They had a Clifford the big red dog exhibit, where grace pretended to be a mail man. Preparred dog bones for Clifford and played music on the bongos... They had a play diner where they had real booths that we sat in while Grace fixed us food. They also had a little circle time for the kids that were Grace's age...there is a picture of her doing head shoulders knees and toes...have I mentioned before how much I love being a MOM!

Daniel and Julie

Daniel and Julie got married at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis this past weekend. The weather was georgeous for their outdoor ceremony. This was a neat part of the ceremony where they were wrapped in this blanket and had communion. Congratulations!

Here is a sneak peek at a few photos

Garri and Debbie

Garri and Debbie were the most laid back fun couple! They got married at the Engineers Club in Baltimore. Right outside of the Engineers club was the Columbus Day Parade! So they had fun jumping in with the drummers in one of the marching bands. I loved that they had things planned for all the children and that it was such a fun family affair. Thanks for being so fun, I wish you all the best!

Fall Fun

Monday the kids in the neighborhood all had the day off from school, so Lisa our way cool freind and neighbor (she gets the Mom of the year award seriously) went out and bought little pumpkins for all the kids in the neighborhood and they had a paint party.

Shenandoah Valley

Seth, Grace and I went camping in Virginia this past weekend. We had fun, except for the Thunderstorm that sent us home a night early! We got to hike part of the appalachian trial on Thursday which was fun. It was neat to think the trail goes all the way from Maine to Georgia! Grace loved it...she did say "Sleep in a tent mama? I want my bed" She did fine, but I now know there is a reason she has her own bed...she is ALL over the map... as far as sleeping goes! I woke up with her hand in my face...
