Every other Saturday the teachers at LACS take turns hosting a healthy family activity at the school. This Saturday was our turn. We decided to do family games on the field. We ended up with only 2 families coming out, but we still were able to have some fun playing ladder ball and kick ball.
I think the kids were looking forward to more students to play with, but hopefully they had fun beating us in kick ball!

Today was our World Impact day of prayer and fasting. We spend the day praying and fasting (hence the name) for our ministry and each other. It was a great day. After we finished a few of us headed over to Janice and Judson's house for dinner with Janice's parents and some other friends. The food was great (we probably would have eaten anything, but it really was good!!) and the company was outstanding!
Thank you Janice and Judson for hosting a great night!

Today was Volunteer Appreciation Lunch at LACS. The staff worked together to put on a lunch for the amazing mom and outside volunteers who come to our school daily and make it run smoothly. We seriously could not do it without them! Sadly, the pictures I took of the day did not actually take...I didn't have them card in my camera, and it does not have any internal memory. I don't know why it didn't warn me while I was snapping away, but it didn't, so I don't have any pictures of the day. : (
So instead I am putting a picture of one of the amazing lunches the moms have put on for us! They spoil us and we love it!
Thank you volunteers for the all that you do for us!!

Today I got to go with the 1st grade class on a field trip to the Natural History Museum. We are so blessed to live very close to the museum, it only takes about 5 minutes to drive there. We had so much fun exploring the museum. We saw all kinds of animals, dinosaurs, a rain forest, marshes and the best exhibit of all: The Butterfly Garden.
We were the first group in the museum! So we took advantage and got a picture in front of the dinosaurs in the entry way. I'm so glad we did, because it was never free again!
We all loved seeing the dinosaurs, and acting like them!
Ms. D'Avirro's favorite animal is a polar bear, so we had to get a picture with this big guy!
In the butterfly garden there were butterflies everywhere! Many times a butterfly would land on one of the students, and they would be so excited! It was fun to watch them with the butterflies on them, trying to stay really still, but wanting to jump up and down.
That was as close as I got to a butterfly landing on me... but I think I was ok with that!
We had so much fun on our field trip today!
And we did make sure not to bring home any hitchhiking butterflies! : )

Tonight Steph made a Pioneer Woman recipe for dinner, and she invited me over to eat it! It was delicious! Meat, onions, peppers, mushrooms all mixed together in a delicious sauce, served on a french roll with melted cheese on top...yum!

I FINALLY went and got my hair cut today! It had been way too long and my hair was fried on the ends. I love the way it feels right after a new cut. And how come I can never get my hair to look the same as the hair dresser can? But for today I'm enjoying the fresh feeling of my great new hair cut. Thanks Maria!!

Today I went up to Ventura to spend the day with my mom and my family. It was a great day celebrating my mom, my sister and my sister-in-law, all three amazing moms to their kids!
This is my mom with her three kids a long time ago! I'm so sad because I didn't get a picture of her with the three of us today. : (
But here she is with me and my silly niece Taylar! : )
My sister Corinna with her kids, Taylar and Luke.
And my sister-in-law Gina, with Hannah and Georgia.
We had a lot of fun today, visiting and laughing, with a football game, a BBQ, and a few really intense games of checkers!!
It was a super fun day celebrating with some super great moms!
