Jacob's Summer

Jacob is really growing into a young man! He has had a fun summer but is very much looking forward to school starting. He gets his own locker this year and has to ride a bus, exciting things for a young lad! He is volunteering at church both to help in young children's classroooms and run the sound boards in the children's services, he has a servants heart for sure.

He loves his ice cream as you can see above! This was taken in old town here in Lansing.

GREAT FATHER'S DAY

As you know I am an avid hunter and it was with great anticipation that I took Jenna to a field day that included guns and bow and arrow. I can't even describe to you the emotion I had when Jenna after shooting her first .22 said, "That was fun can I do it again!" YEAH another hunter is born to our family! Anyway we had a great day, she hit the target with the bow everytime! HURRAY!

Wise Words

A customer recently wrote these words in an email auto-signature - I really liked them so I thought I would share. Enjoy.

Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes...your destiny.

Cocoa Returns

Can you believe it. Cocoa our male cat has returned from a 6 month vacation. He took off the first week in October and showed back up today. He obviously had been taken care off well over the winter, not sure by who, but he is fat for sure!

Welcome home Cocoa!

TV Commercial

Jenna and Jacob got an opportunity to be in a Junior Achievement Commercial what fun it is! Jacob will have a speaking part toward the end of the commercial. This is a picture of Jenna who was on camera while AJ, the Fox47 weatherman, did his speaking part! We will post the commercial when I get a copy!

Jacob - SERIOUS and FUN

Jacob is such a cool kid! Here are two pictures that show both sides of this young man. He is serious in comptetition and loves to compete in board games. Then the other picture was while I was getting my hair cut and he runs around and cracks everyone up! What a wonderful mixture of ability to be serious and poking fun at himself!

Jenna - Easter 2008

Jenna's Easter outfit - I think she looks great - clearly an objective Dad's opinion. Jacob looked great for Church today too but he ran off, he is a volunteer to work the kid's desk, and was no where to be found at the time to take pictures! Anyway, it was great fun, great worship and Laurie and her family got baptized.
