Summer's Birthday Weekend

 Sunday, September 15

This was a busy day!  

From 10:30am-2pm, we went to the roller skating rink for Summer's birthday.  She invited several friends to join us.  We also had pizza, soda and cupcakes and she opened her gifts from her friends.








































Summer had two friends stay over Saturday night for a birthday sleepover.  One girl went home and one came to church with us.

We had a nice rainy afternoon.  I love rainstorms.


Summer had two friends for a sleepover.  Bailey and Emma


Summer made a special strawberry jello salad.

I worked in one of the 2nd grade classes for Connection Group time.  

We sang in the choir and Evangelist Rick Coram preached the morning service.  If you would like to hear the service, you can click HERE.  We sang Old Church Choir, a new rendition of God Is So Good, and finished with the choir's special-Blessed Assurance.  Bro. Coram preached a powerful message.

After church, we helped set up tables, chairs, and tablecloths in the gym for our revival meal this evening.  Then we gave one of the teen girls a ride home and dropped off Summer's friend's things from the sleepover.  We had leftovers for lunch.  I blogged in the afternoon.

At 4:45pm, we went to the meal at the church - a soup dinner.  Then Sierra, Summer, and I worked in the preschool for the evening service.  After the service, the teens had an ice cream social.  A busy but full and blessed day!

No school today!

Today is our daughter's 14th birthday!  Happy birthday, Summer!


We had a lunch date at Subway and browsed Hobby Lobby. :)


I made her mini cheesecakes for her birthday.

I picked Eric up from the airport.  He flew home from Houston.

In the evening, we had a meal - spaghetti - before revival at the church at 4:45pm. 

Revival service at 6pm.  What a great night!




Just hanging out in my bedroom with my girlies and my kitties after church. :)

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan
