Spring Ball 2014

(Anne Marie here!) Last night, our homeschool group had their first Civil War Ball. We were pleasantly surprised that so many people dressed in era-appropriate attire. We weren't sure if this would happen since this was the first time many of these teens have been introduced to a ball. It was an absolute blast; everyone had a fantastic evening!

 

I borrowed my outfit from Jenna (L) and Amy (R).

 

 

fun with cousins

 Went to Jo's to play in the afternoon, then see an evening T-Ball game.

 The blondies stayed in this corner behind the camper, teaching eachother songs, dances they had learned.

 Toby did a GREAT job- so cute!  He hit the ball really well!

 I love this pose of him in the outfield! - Uncle Mark is standing in the background.

It was a great time! Wish we all could have hung out together!

Satin Strings, Ramp Build

I so enjoyed chaperoning the Permian Satin Strings/Symphony UIL Contest trip (to Midland). Both Satin Strings and the Symphony (Jake is in both) earned Sweepstakes.

Jake and Lane participated in another wheelchair ramp build Saturday. It was very cold and windy, but they had fun. Some other members of the youth group joined them, which made it extra special for Jake!

Lane took these pictures during the build. I love this one of the boys just enjoying each other. We are blessed with a wonderful youth group.
