Off to the Dunes

After dropping off the girls at NCU, and Mom shedding some tears,(sniff, sniff, I still don't want to talk about it!) we headed over to the coast to spend some time in the sun and sand.

Stevie and Karli spent a day learning how to sand board.

Wow! She looks pretty cool!

Arrival at NCU

OOOOHHHH!!! The balloons really added a festive atmosphere to the registration process!!
The moment of truth...will Lindsey and her new roomie hit it off? Or will Lindsey's family completely embarrass her and convince Keegan that Lindsey is just as odd as her family?

The Big Day

The end of summer meant the begining of a new adventure for Lindsey and Megan. The family paraded Lindsey across the HUGE campus of NCU and began the process of helping her move into her dorm room. The building in the picture is Lindsey and Megan's dorm. If fact, it's the ONLY dorm. I kept saying, "this campus is so small!" But that's what is so great about it.



Megan had gone a week in advance and had pretty much settled in.

Socks for Baby Marr!

These are the pair of socks we got for Baby Marr!

Mom hasn't.....

Mom hasn't written anything on here lately, so here is a picture of this bear cub that I like.

Water Slides and Wedding Flowers

Woo Hoo!!!Today Karli, Stevie and their friends are heading off to the water slides! It's a cold, gloomy day with expectations of it getting nice and sunny though. The girls are higher than kites(especially Renee!). Megan is here for the weekend and plans to help me with the flowers for the wedding that I am doing. A boutaneer and corsage party! Ladies are expected this afternoon to help make them. I just hope that all goes well. I would hate to have the bride cry over her ugly flowers! My greatest fear!!

Bake Sale!!! Get your questionably edible items!!!

Today we prepared for a bake sale. Stevie has to make money if he wants to go to youth group camp in August, so he's been working mowing lawns, cleaning, washing cars, and now a bake sale.
The funny thing is, the kid doesn't bake.
Gee, I wonder who he thought would do it? Hmmm... well, not me. After he asked the dumb question of,"Can we just buy some food to sell there?" we got busy.Actually, he didn't do too bad! He made Rice Crispy Treats and brownies. He washed his hands before starting, didn't pick his nose during the stirring, and didn't even cough into the bowl! Ah well, cooking kills the germs, right?

Anyways, now all we have to do is pray that the goodies survive the night and hope that people take pity on these kids tomorrow.
