Austin's first hunting trip

Jeff and Austin went down to Georgia this weekend to go hunting. They had a great time, though Austin wasn't too keen on getting up so early. They took Austin's 4 wheeler and road all over the lodge during the day to kill some of the time and had a blast too! Santa did a great job this year with his present!! Though they didn't kill anything it was worth the trip.

Brittney Turns 13!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe that my little girl is 13. It seems like just yesterday she was a baby that Jeff and I were bringing home from the hospital. Today she is a beautiful young girl that is growing up way too fast. We celebrated her birthday by going out to lunch at Habeneros and getting manicures for her and Lily. We had such a great time. She is going to celebrate with a party in about 2 weeks, so I will have more then.

Sing-A-Long Pics

I finally got the pictures that Jeff took at the sing along. A lot of them were really blurry?!?!?- I put the best ones on and also added a video of the kids singing. Austin was in the middle of the entire group so it is hard to pick him out, but they sound wonderful. How fun!!!

Christmas Day 5

Wow we had a great Christmas this year and it just seemed to keep going and going and going. My mom and Marvin came on Wednesday to celebrate. We had such a great time with their visit. Mom went shopping with us on Thursday and had a great time all together. I just hate that everyone lives so far away!!

Santa Came!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas cam and went so fat once again. I can't believe that it is all over!!! We had such a great day this year. Santa was wonderful to the kids and after we were able to see all of our faimly with the exception of Jeff's sister Tracy and her kids. There were so many new memories made over this holiday Brittney got a new laptop, among other things and Austin got a new 4-wheeler. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Christmas with E-ma and Rob

We had a great time with Ema and Rob this year or Christmas. They were here for a whil on Christmas Eve. We hate that the time we spent together was so quick, but it was meaningful.

Christmas with Papa

We had a short visit with Jeff's Dad (Papa) this year in Statesville this year. There just does not seem to be enough time to visit everyone for any length of time. It was nice to see him for Christmas and his Birthday, we hate that MeMe didn't make it!!

Christmas Parties at the Rosebrock's and the Link's

It was so great seeing everyone at the Christmas parties the weekend before Christmas. This is a great time to see wonderful friends that we don't get to see very often throughout the year and catch up. We had such a great time at both of the parties, we just hate that they were on the same night!

Youth Group Progressive Christmas Dinner

Britt's youth group at First Baptist had a progressive dinner Friday night where they caroled between homes to shut-ins. I think this was a wonderful thing for her to participate in this year. We were fortunate enough to catch them on their trip and I wanted to share a couple of pictures.

Forest Hill Sing-a-long

Jeff was able to go to the sing-a-long a Austin's School. He said it was great. I will post the pictures for this as soon as I can get them from Jeff.

The Coffee Club's Christmas Party

Friends of ours get together every morning at one of the local coffee shops (RiverBlues Cafe). They decided to have a great Christmas party at the Cafe. Terrance outdid himself with the food. They had everything from great dips to sushi!!! YUMMMMMM!! Even Santa came by to show off his new duds.



It was great to see a lot of people that we don't get to see very often. Lynn and Mike you look great!

4th Grade Christmas Breakfast

Austin's class had a great breakfast Thursday morning. I though I would show you some of the parents that helped out first, then the kids as they were singing their Christmas carols. The performed them at the Sing-a-long with all grades on Friday morning. I know the collage has the same pictures in it, but I loved the way Kellie's sweater made it look so fun!!

Here is a picture of the entire 4th grade as they were practicing.

Austin is on the back row, 5th from the right. It is so hard to get clear pictures in the gymatorium. Hope you can see them.

These photos give me cold chills!!

Photo taken in Ohio Cara Winship sent this out. It is called: God's HandsI took this picture on Hwy 30, traveling to Canton , Ohio . It has given mestrength in the times of trouble. I feel I should share it with the rest ofthe world. I hope it is an inspiration to y ou. It just goes to show what we already know.... We have a God and he's watching over us. I e-mailed this picture to News Chanel 3. I was contacted by Meteorologist John James. He said that this picture of the sky is showing up, in all states, around the world. He wanted to know whereI was from and where I took it. He saw a similar picture taken in Texas .He said this is amazing to him!



This photo is a very rare one, taken by NASA. This kind of event occurs once in 3000 years. This photo has done miracles in many lives. Make a wish ... you have looked at the eye of God. Surely you will see the changes in your life within a day.! Whether you believe it or not, don't keep this mail with you. Pass this at least to 7 persons. This is a picture NASA took with the Hubbell telescope. Called "The Eye of God." Too awesome to delete. It is worth sharing .
