UPWARD BASKETBALL CAMP

This week Bobby ran our first Upward Basketball Camp. We had 32 kids initially register, and we knew we would have additional kids come on the first day so we had to guess how many would show up. So we ordered 40 kits!! Monday came, registration started, and 39 kids showed up!!! What a blessing!! It was a great week, the kids learned about basketball and that Jesus loves them.

Upward Mission Statement: Introduce children to Jesus Christ by creating opportunities to serve through sports.

Here a just a few pics from camp:

He just couldn't help himself...

4th of July 2008

Well here are our 4th pictures...finally :) We made the trip to Springfield and had the best 4th yet!! Although we missed you Nathan! Here are some of the crazy pictures that we took.

Our Annual Family Fourth Picture!

Price and Christian are ready to take on the girls!

Ambrose and Zeke hamming it up! Here are all the grandkids that were present. It's amazing how much they grow every year!
Tina decided that we're going to have a "Crazy Hat Contest" every year...can I just say that her hat it a food cover with a horn stuck in it :) A for effort T-T!!! Everyone looked great! Maybe next year my family will actually participate.
Doesn't Christian just look so happy to recieve his snow cone!! This is my annual treat for the kid-o's. Normally it's 175 degrees in Springfield on the Fourth, however, this year was rather cool, so the ice wasn't melting as soon as it came out of the machine :)

Finally enjoying the fireworks!

Perfect timing!!! I have this same picture of the boys each year. Zeke's didn't turn out so great, but this one was awesome!
Finally figuring out the setting on my new camera. I loved these fireworks, they went off like a ton of sparklers.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
