Noah's 4th Birthday


Noah turned 4 yesterday and we had a party at the park this evening. We brought pizza from one of the places downtown that has a 28" pizza! One pie feeds 8-10 adults! Noah was so excited. He called it "the party pizza." He told me that to have a good party he needed: 1) his Frisbee and soccer ball at the park, 2)chocolate ice cream next to a Lightening McQueen cake, and 3)"the horse game where he doesn't have a tail and you have to put it on and if you do then you are the winner". Don't ask me where that came from, but we came through for him and he had a great party. :) Lots of his friends from school came and he received a hat, sticker books, a backpack, and a lunchbox set that were all Lightening McQueen. We are set. He also got some much needed clothes. The Reyes Family got him a Lightening McQueen race track and we had to put it together when we got home. There is a short clip of him playing with it before we pried him off of it to go to bed. We are so blessed to have such great friends here. Good thing that we are taking half of them to Mexico with us!

That's a Big Pizza!

I'm on a "Quest"

Our team has begun an extensive training weekend with Missions Resource Network called "Quest.". We'll be making and presenting missions presentations, undergoing extensive professional psychological evaluations, and getting some welcome advice from some seasoned and well-respected members of the Sunset Church of Christ regarding families, missions, and personal spiritual development. Please pray for our team, for those who have sacrificed to help us, and for the people we'll meet in Mexico.
