Ohio meets Florida

Jake and Jill, Jenna and Calli came out for a visit and it was so fun! We enjoyed the zoo the first day they were here and Audrey got out of school for that one. Another memorable day was the beach day were we played in the sun most of the day. Too bad we forgot to put sun screen on Shauna's back (bad burn). In case your wondering why Randy is not in the beach pictures it is because he was on call for work that weekend, he was tied to the computer. Another fun home thing we did is it started to poor outside. So we convinced the kids to go dance in the rain. Then Jill decided you only live once so she went then we twisted Jake's arm and he too went out in the rain and Danced. It was so cool! Donovan and Jenna wanted to be out in it longer so we took Jenna out front with an umbrella this time since she was just changed into dry clothes and stand in the river that flowed right through our driveway. Fun Times!!! I hope the cousins will remember the time they had with one another.

Audrey's 1st grade Science Experiment

She must have done this experiment a dozen times because she would not let me throw it away. However one day it just went missing? I wonder where it could be....

Family Visit from across the Country

I just want to first start out saying I am in amazement that not only did Randy and Donalda travel cross the country to visit us but this is the second time doing so! They must truly love there house on wheels because I would not be able to do it. We had a very nice time. We were able to go to Universal for one of the days they were here. We all had fun getting wet on the water rides, some loved the Roller Coasters and some wish they were tall enough to ride the coasters. Next time they will all be tall enough... till then.

DBS Banquet

It was a very nice event this year held at Daytona State College and the food was great we had lasagna and salad and rolls. The kids looked great and enjoyed getting together outside of the pool. There was some nice speeches given and all the kids enjoyed getting there goody bags.

Spring Primary Activity

We had a fantastic Primary activity in our ward. It was called"A walk through Christ Life". The first Station my counselor talked about Christ birth and that he is the lamb of God, then the children got to find little sheep that she hid for each one of them. They were made out of cotton balls and batting way cute. The second station they were taught of him teaching as a boy in the temple, then they made gram cracker temples. Next the heard the story of his baptism were able to view the font and then make origami doves. The next station they went fishing for goldfish and were taught that he is the fisher of men they also heard the story of the feeding of the multitude with three fish and one loaf of bread they then recived a roll and three sweddish fish to eat. The next station they were taught about him healing the sick they then put sticky foam all over there face and then we took there picture looking all sick then we took off the stickers and again took there picture looking all happy! Next station was all about the last supper where there was a lovely spread on the table and they talked about what they might have ate and then tried some flat bread. Next station was all about avoiding the temptations of sin and how Christ payed for all our sins. They got into pillow cases and jumped around boxes that represented the sins. Next they learned of his barrial in the tomb and they then were wrapped up in TP as mummies. Finally we went out side for the last part and talked about him ascending to heaven where we released white balloons into the air. Then they all received a color balloon to take home to represent Christ promised to return again.
