Jamestown Settlement

The Jones' live in Yorktown which is really close to Williamsburg and Jamestown. I love history, so today we to the "Jamestown Settlement." It had a pretty neat museum and an outdoor walking tour with full size replica's of an Indian Village, the 3 ships the first settlers came over on, and a Fort. People were dressed up in period clothing, so it really seemed authentic. :)

Virginia Beach!!

Virginia Beach is about 45 minutes from Brian & Melissa's house, so today we decided to head to the BEACH!! Its the first time Ethan has been to a beach, he was in awe of the massive "sandbox." Andrew and Matthew spent all day playing in the huge waves with Keira, Paige, and Carter.  So much fun!

Road Trip!!!

Today, we traveled to VA to visit the Jones'. It took us over 12 hours to get there but the trip seemed to fly by pretty quick. We were surprised at how well the kids and Yoshi handled being stuck in the car for so long.  Caleb decided he didn't want to make the drive, so he's staying with Josey while we are gone.

Twins Science Projects

Tonight, the twins and I worked on their cell projects for school. Matthew picked a plant cell and Andrew picked an animal cell. They both turned out great!

Making Freezer Meals

Tonight, the ladies in our LIFE group got together at the FLC kitchen to whip up some freezer meals for a couple in our class that just had a baby. Bro Tim comes to help because we have to have someone on staff there to "babysit." We always have lots of fun while we cook.

National Dog Day

I noticed that a bunch of people were posting pictures of their dogs on Facebook for National Dog Day today, so I figured Yoshi should be the subject of today's picture. He is such a great dog now that he isn't chewing on everything he can get his mouth on. We all love him being in our family, especially his BFF, Ethan.

Caleb's School Project

Tonight, Caleb and I worked on a project for school. He had to do a poster board about a character in a book that he had to read. He was told to make it colorful and since the boy went to Disney World in the book, he decided to do a Disney theme. We used a bunch of stuff that I had from doing scrapbook swaps years ago. :)
