Christmas Cookies 2009

Jenna and Jacob helped to make cookies yesterday. But what they most enjoyed, I believe, was making boxes like this and taking to our neighbors - they both love to make others happy. Jacob truly has a servant's heart!

When they weren't bickering over frosting (brotherly and sisterly love) they were truly embracing the essence of the season.

Merry Christmas!

Jacob's Wish List for Christmas 2015

I am not sure how this happened but Jacob has fallen in love the VW Bug - It may because he is great at playing "slug bug." This is his dream car, he has designed it on the website several times and I am sure he will be asking Santa for it in a few years. His savings account needs to do a lot of growth in the next 6 years!

Flying Kids

Jenna and Jacob got to flying twice this year. One time when we were at Grandpa's in KY and then just a week or so ago they got to go up with Aunt Micki. Jacob even got to hold the stick with Aunt Micki - they enjoyed both a great deal!

Jenna and Payton at VBS

This was the theme song from VBS at Trinity this year, the theme was Boomerang Express -they had a blast.

Not Jack and Jill but Jack and Jenna

This is Jenna's friend Jack, oh my are they trouble. As you can see with all of the toys they have and the playground attached to our home they choose to play in a rain filled garden buggy! OH my do they have fun together. They are somewhat like an old married coupled! They truly enjoy each other and have a special friendship which will remain strong for years I am sure.

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!
