All the way to STATES!

Barnstormers

Ok So the Barnstormers aren't having such a great season so far this year, but I still think it is so much fun to go to the games and watch them play. Luckily when we were there this past Saturday evening they won 15-5. Big D, Samantha, Dennis and I all attended the game, thank goodness the rain decided to hold off. DentalEZ held their company picnic there and we had a great time.


Oh and we all got free Baseball caps! And that is what inspires me to smile!

Special people

Sometimes God brings special people into our lives. These girls are a good example.

They worked hard all school year and met all the criteria for the Jr. National Honor Society. I am so proud of both of them. I was glad to be there to see them receive their honor certificates.

Enjoying a spring Saturday afternoon

Sometimes the most fun can be had staying at home and just playing! We bought this silly giant foam frisbee and had so much fun just throwing it back and forth between Samantha, Dennis and myself. Big D even got in on the fun for a little.

And that is what inspires me to smile!

YOUTHQUAKE

Dennis and I have the great privilege of working with the teens at Colerain Baptist. I might have mentioned before that the youth group's name is YouthQuake. These are 7-12 grade teens from the southern end of the county. I love these students, and just think each and everyone are awesome teens. Check out this picture from our teen room at church, and see why I am inspired to smile,I know you will be inspired to smile too!

Cinco de Mayo

YouthQuake leaders had the first ever Cinco de Mayo party for the parents of the teens that attend YouthQuake. It was a fun evening with a Mexican theme. We had Taco's, rice, salsa & chips, toppings, corn bread and homemade Mexican Cookies! Who says parents don't like to play games! We played Cinco de Mayo BINGO and Mexican Hat Musical chairs. We even had a Sponge Bob Pinata. We closed the evening by telling the parents how much we love working with the teens, How burdened we are to see them continue to grow in their faith and not let the world snatch them away, and to share our vision for the teen ministry for the coming months. It was encouraging to hear some positive feedback from the parents too.
