30 Hr Famine

Trace and several others of our Streamline youth group raised money for world hunger by participating in the 30 hr famine. 30 hrs of no food, no computers, no cell phones....just worship and focus on God! I'm so proud of them!
They even slept in cardboard boxes. And stood in public with cardboards signs to increase awareness to passers by!

A day at the park

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood today!! So the girls and I got out and went to Spring Lake Park...and boy was it packed!! It was refreshing to see families out spending time together!! Paige was a monkey see monkey do to Marci....but after all was said and done, the pea gravel won out over all. ;)

We played outside in our backyard too...where Marci found this "4 leaf clover" ;)

GNI(girls night in)

I had Thanksgiving lunch with Marci today at school. It was yummy but the real treat was just being with her ;)

Jamie and Trace went to the deer camp to stay for the weekend...so it was a GNI for Marci,Paige and I! Movies, junk food, Mani/pedis(even Paige got her fingernails painted!). Marci started her Christmas list...and my how her list is so "big girl" this year!! :(
Fun day indeed!!!

Kristian Stanfill and Christy Nockles Concert

Wow!!!!! What an amazing time of praise and worship!! Marci and I had a blast together!!

Paige’s Over the Rainbow 2nd Birthday

 

Paige loves “color colors”, so we decided on a Rainbow Theme Party for her 2nd birthday!

Paint Cans full of Rainbow Snacks

{Red Frankenberry Cereal, Green White Chocolate Popcorn, Yellow Kix Cereal, Purple Boo Berry Cereal, and Orange Goldfish}

KoolAid Playdough “Rainbow To Go” and Rainbow Candy for the older kiddos

My mother in law helped me make this banner!! Turned out so cute!

Marci painted a rainbow pumpkin for us  

We dressed Dora in her Rain gear since we had rain the morning of the party and had to change plans…moved the party from the outside play area to our house.  After all…you do have to have RAIN to make a Rainbow

My mom made the pom poms…added a lot of color to the party!

and Again, Marci added some creativity to the party by writing a welcoming message to our party guests!

Thank GOD for Grandparents!! After all, it takes a village!!

 

My friend, Amy Lauterbach, made the cake for us…with a special surprise in the middle!!

 

Nonnie made Paige’s cute little chevron pants!! And Shea from Stinkin’ Cute Designs on Facebook made the “P” chevron shirt!

The kids got to thread their own Rainbow Fruit Loop Necklace!

the ONLY thing that Amy told me was to NOT let anyone eat the rainbow b/c she had used super glue for the pieces to stick together….and what did Paige do? You see how oblivious I am? and how “IN CONTROL” Marci is?? What would I do without her? LOL

The SURPRISE inside!!!

YES! Grandmom got Paige “Cookies” and she was SO excited!! These are her favorites!!

Mamaw Jerry(Paige’s great grandmother) made her this card!  She calls her Miss Kitty from Gunsmoke 

Pops and Paige                 We all fall down…

Faith and Marci’s Rainbow Smile
