Tonight night was one of the coolest nights at 180 Remix.  It is an awesome thing to recognize and celebrate all the students/leaders that give their all for God!  It was like the Academy/Grammy Awards, and the students got to vote for their peers.

You may be the one to say that you don’t agree with such an event, but I believe it’s a great way to say “well done,” and it was also fun to dress up!  The students that were nominated for these awards don’t work their tails off day in and day out looking forward to this night…no, they are doing the Great Commission for their Lord and Savior trying to save the lives of their peers and friends.  They are all beautiful people!

Anyway…here is the family photo of the night…Jon and I presented the “Gift Award.”  Can you see my fist?  Jadon spit out his pizza so he could smile for the camera…yes I’m holding chewed up pizza. (and he ate it, again, after we were finished)

Here is a video of Jadon dancing backstage…

8 friends I pass this on to:

Ok, most all my blogging friends have received this, and all my really awesome girl friends are only on facebook.  So if you want to do it on a Facebook note, go for it! 

Love you all!

Being a mom for two years has taught me that boys (at least my boys) are tough.  Here is the latest crisis at our house.

Sadly, this will be the first and last blog about our dog Hurley.  He has been a good dog, but it is time for him to move to a home with all adults.

yes, those are 11 stitches in Jadon’s upper lip…

They were playing on the couch when Jad decided to crawl on Hurley to give him a kiss.  We think he probably put all his weight on Hurley’s lower stomach, which caused Hurley to bite.

I think every horrible thought and fear ran through my head at that very moment, but when it was all over with and Jad woke up from his nap that afternoon he happily squealed  ”Hurley!” and let him lick his hand through his crib.

So I have chosen to enter into the world of blogging, much to the encouragement of my husband. (Though, I don’t think he realizes this will give me something else to do instead of cleaning)
I’ve been doing the twitter and facebook thing for a while, but I think I can put a little more into this to record random things in the lives of our family and maybe even share some thoughts of life as a worship leader, wife of a worship leader/techie, and being a mom of 2 little guys.

welcome to “dirt won’t hurt”…
