Family Vacation!

The last week of July, House, Nathaniel and I packed up and took 13 extra girls to Volleyball camp in Clearwater, FL. I spent my mornings with the family and afternoons at Clearwater Christian College with the girls. House stayed with his Aunt and Uncle in a condo at the beach. It was fun but not much of a vacation. We have decided that taking a vacation with a one year old is just babysitting in a different location.
Nathaniel had fun at the pool but he spent most of his time going up and down the stairs. He loves the stairs!

Nathaniel Goes to White Water

Mommy and Daddy took the SCBC youth group to White Water and Nathaniel got to come along for the trip. He loved climbing up and down the stair in the kiddy pool but that was about it. The teenagers had a blast but it was crazy crowded!

Patty Gets Married!

Patty and Vance got married July 15th. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful wedding. Nathaniel and Walker were both in the wedding. They did great!

Nathaniel is WALKING!!

While House and I were gone to World Changers, his Great Grandmother taught him how to walk. We missed his first steps but when we got back home we were able to see him walk to us without any problems.

Nathaniel also loves to crawl into things and up on things. He thinks now that he can walk that he can go anywhere. He is loving it.

World Changers 2006

This year I was the project coordinator for the World Changers site in Youngstown, Ohio. We had about 175 students on the mission trip from 7 different churches. Our students had a blast and really enjoyed working for the Lord. House and I were excited to see our youth group grow together and grow deeper in their walk with God.

Nathaniel had to stay home with Nana that week but he had a great time and learned to walk while we were gone!

Youth Camp 2006

Youth camp this year was great. We took the students to St. Simons Island and stayed at Epworth by the Sea. We did camp with Sonrise Baptist Church in Newnan, GA so we had about 150 people at camp that week. Our theme was "CRIBS" and the students really grew in their faith.
Nathaniel also got to go to camp and experience what camp is all about. He had a great time!

Nathaniel Turns One!

Nathaniel turned one! One year has gone by so fast. We can't believe he is already one. We had a birthday party on his birthday and Nathaniel had a blast. He got many new toys and clothes. Mommy made his cake but Nathaniel did not like it too much.

Loading Dishwasher

Nathaniel loves to unload the dishwasher. Whenever I open the door he crawls over and climbs up onto the dishwasher and starts taking everything out and putting it on the floor.

Mommy goes to the Beach!

Mommy got a weekend off and went to the beach with her friends. It was a beautiful weekend and we had a blast.

10 Months old

Nathaniel turned 10 months and had his check-up. He now weights about 25 pounds and is 29 inches long. He is crawling all over the house and pulling up on everything. His favorite toy is a ball. He loves to push them around the house and chase it.

Youth Ski Trip

We left Feb 20 for a week of skiing with our High School students. We went to Winterplace, WV and had lots of snow. There were no injuries and we had a blast.

Nathaniel Gets Tubes!

On February 15, 2006, Nathaniel got tubes put in his ears. It was such a crazy day. We had to be at the hospital by 6:00a.m. and by 7:45a.m. Nathaniel was done and in recovery. He did great and finally slept thru the night the next day! YEA!

House gets Ordained and Nathaniel gets Dedicated!

House gets Ordained and Nathaniel gets Dedicated!

January 29th was a very special day for our family. House was ordanied into the ministry at Southern Crescent Baptist Church Sunday night and Nathaniel was dedicated that morning. We had many family and friends from all around come and be apart of that day.

David and Heather Platt came and did Nathaniel's dedication and then David preached. It was a wonderful service.

Later that night we had family and friends from Alabama, Florida, Powder Springs, Newnan and Briarlake Baptist come and be apart of House's ordination service. Bart Box preached the service and there was a reception after the service. It was a beautiful service.

Fun pictures of the holidays!

This picture was taken the day after Christmas. Mommy and Daddy were enjoying playing on the golf course with Ed, Meredith and Little Blake.
