A Year Ago...

I became.... Maria Sacra! I can't believe it's been a whole year. It seems like maybe uh... 6 months or something. I am so thankful, happy, glad, etc etc etc... to be married to my best friend in the world! I loved being single, but I love being married even more. : ) Funny how things and ideas can change, and that no matter what happens, we can be sure that God has His hand in everything. Here's to the future! Isaac, thanks for everything you do. I love you!

A year later, I don't think we really look too much different... Do you?

Down By The Water Front Sittin' On The Pier...

There were some AC kids with their fish'n gear... : ) And crabbing... I don't think anybody caught anything really worth keeping but we had fun anyways.

Everybody looks slightly either confused or just waiting...

The fingernail moon

 The crab traps were ALL knotted up.

Activity Day @ Victory

A day late and a dollar short, but here are some pics of Activity Day at Victory. I may or may not post some of the OC. It is tough just to pick a couple pics to post. : ) I should just get some sort of album to stick them all in I suppose, but it seems I barely have time to post anything anyways so wonder how much good it would do. You never know though... I'll let the pictures say what an awesome time we had. : )

 A funny pet rock : )

 The kids had a blast with the spin art. Think Isaac did too... ; )

 Decorating a rucksack

 Doll house village. This wasn't our station, but I thought it was pretty cool.

James helped me for a bit with the bubble station. (yes, her hand is actually inside the bubble) I love bubbles!

Katie was the big bubble making pro! I think she ended up making the biggest one of all.

Local OC

We had our local Outdoor Challenge last month at Vernon's farm. The teams had to find/figure out riddles, NOT drink the "poison", target shoot, rescue a hostage and swim him across the pond, and eat some delectable food choices... : ) I got to join in the fun by taking pics. Isaac labled my shirt as the Press Corps.

 Your mission... should you choose to accept it...

 Sniper!

 They had to get him across the pond without getting his head wet.

CREW

Oh yummy!

 Just concentrate.... to get this stuff down.

We picked up this painted turtle in the middle of the road on the way home.

June Tid Bits

Mark came over one afternoon and helped me make jam. He helped in every part of the process except the hot pectin. He was as usual, a GREAT helper! : ) The jam turned out delicious. Jon invited us over to help him eat a bunch of crabs that him an some guys had gotten, oh goodness... I can almost still taste them. Yum! I got Jude to taste some after he amazingly enough didn't even want to taste them. Very odd coming from a guy who used to like to eat EVERYTHING he could put in his mouth.

 I made pulled pork in a crock pot from some pork shoulder I had. Cooked it in Root Beer believe it or not and twas good! : ) allrecipes.com

 Bet you don't miss these Teresa... : )
