A Month Long Catchup!

To put things into perspective here, I had 175 blog posts in the year 2013.  171 in 2014.  174 in 2015.  Oopsie.  Who would have thought I would have 5 times as many blog posts when using a dial up Internet connection in Africa than using high speed in the USA?!  My only excuse is...LIFE.  (And teenagers who don't love having their pictures taken!  ;)  That being said, they do love going through blog books from past years and seeing all that we were up to, so I shall persevere!  With all 31 of my blog posts thus far in 2021.  ;)

I'm shrinking....

Caedmon has loved being in PALs this year - Peer-Assisted Learning.  He goes to the elementary twice a week and works with a 4th grade boy!

These two are always together!

Caedmon & his pink ladies!

Caed & Shumara

Friday pep rallies!

Dress like an old woman day - she nailed it!

Best friends on senior night!

Caed & Azreal



Raylee, Jordan, Cam, & Hannon on Halloween

Cambree will be spending next summer in India - her prayer cards came in!

We see this face a lot.

Teletubbies for Halloween!

Cam also recently helped Blu teach a Wednesday night lesson to the high schoolers!


Gorgeous!

The four posing for pics :)

And carving pumpkins!

Cambree turned 15 on November 11th!  It was a crazy day (Veterans Day program, Lion King opening night) so we did presents late at night!

Hannon, Raylee, & Cam on her birthday!

A bowl full of bubble gum instead of a cake!

She's a cutie!

And she got her permit!  She's driving everywhere now!

It's fine...I'll just be in the backseat....

I never know what pics I'm going to get from Cason at school...

He can beat Blu every now and then!

:)

Last pep rally!

For Halloween, I told him to go up to our costume bucket and see what he could come up with - he nailed it!

Veterans Day program - so handsome!

He always gets to carry the United States Air Force flag in honor of Grandpa!

His voice has gotten DEEP.  

Crazy hair day!

A random Thursday night s'more!

My husband....sent me these selfies....



We got to do a praise & worship session with Camille & Landon out at Heart of Texas Camp's Fall Fest!


Sunday afternoons...

My two favorite little girls - Kenli & Kharis! 

We took Kenli, Kharis, Cali, & Christian to see the Lion King!

Funny campfire stories told by Mr. Blu!

I might have put up my Christmas decor on November 21st...don't judge...

Lion King!!  The kids' Fall production was awesome!  They had so much fun!  It was a ton of work - hours of practice, but they pulled it off and we were so proud of all 3 of them!

All 3 were in it!

Simba and Sarabi

Daddy & Shenzi

Teacher Diana even came to see it!

Paw & Bmaw with Shenzi

Cason and Jensine

Yep, it's been busy!  Tomorrow we celebrate Cason's 13th birthday and Thanksgiving right after that!  There's always something going on - the days are slow but the years are fast!
