First Day of Spring


The first day of Spring came and it was to wonderful of a day to stay inside. We decided to have some fun. We went to Celebration Station and played mini-golf and rode the go-carts. Golfing was fun. The kids enjoyed the different objects to work around. Then Pamela and Elizabeth rode the mini train. Elizabeth was excited, but when it got started she was a bit scared of the down hill speed. She finally warmed up to it and had fun. Then came the go-carts. The noise of the engine made Elizabeth not want to ride. So Stephanie took her turn on the mini go-carts. They had a blast. Then it was time for the big go-carts. Elizabeth rode with me, and Pamela rode with Will, Stephanie drove herself. They were all very excited, then we took off. Will went full blast, Pamela was all smiles around every turn. Stephanie was gunning it as much as she could. I had to go slow. Elizabeth covered her eyes, and never looked up. She didn't cry during the ride, but afterwards she cried her eyes out. She said she never wanted to go on the go-carts again, they were to fast. Will had to carry her out to the van. The next day we talked about the go-carts. Pamela was ready to go again. Elizabeth was a maybe. After about an hour or so, she wanted to go again as long as Mommy drove, because Daddy went to fast. Someday we will see if she is truthful to her word or not. But for now we have the memories of a great day.

Upward Cheerleading


Coaching two squads of cheerleaders was hectic, but a lot of fun. I had 10 girls on one squad and 7 on the other. Three of the girls were my own. My only hope is that I protrayed a possitive Christian attitude to each and every one of them.

Upward is a great influence for kids to see a Godly view of competition. I wish all my girls a wonderful summer and hope they know I love them all.

School Days School Days, dear old golden rule days.

Reading and Writing and Arithmetic. Yet also, English and Bible and History and Science and Spelling and Art and Music and PE.
