Day at the park!

After Hayleigh's birthday bash, we headed over to a park by the river. It was neat. Here are some pictures:

A Hacienda Birthday!

On Saturday my Mom, Steph, and I headed down to Evansville for my nieces 12th birthday party. It was fun! We enjoyed a nice dinner @ Hacienda and spent the afternoon together. Here are some pictures from the day.

Boys' Birthday Bash

This past Saturday was Evan & Aidan's 5th Birthday party @ Chuck E. Cheese's.
I had never been to a party there before, it was fun. Chuck E came out and sang & danced with the kids and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves! I've posted a few pics from the party. I also posted some pics of Rayanne & Ryleigh in the Halloween costumes, they came trick or treating at Nana's on Saturday night. Enjoy!

Girl's Retreat

This past weekend I took the Teen Girls "away" for a weekend. We stayed in a brand new hotel and enjoyed an evening of swimming & bonding! Saturday morning we headed to the Light House Mission to serve lunch. The girls had a blast! I think it was a really good experience for them. Then we headed to Plainfield to do some shopping! It was a great weekend! Here are some pictures. Enjoy!


This is me with all of the girls that went, and Melissa one of the adult chaperons. Pretty good lookin' group huh??For our devotion on Friday night, Gina led a discussion on "Authentic Christianity". The girls discussed some of the "masks" that they have been wearing and as part of the lesson, each girl got to pick a mask to symbolize their "masks".

It was a great weekend! The girls all enjoyed themselves and we all got to know each other on many different levels.
