Josh's Birthday at Walt Disney World

Joshua turned 6 on the 24th and we took advantage of the free Disney ticket. It was fun because all of the workers made a big deal about his birthday. Joshua really liked the Thunder Mountain Railroad but Splash Mountain 'made his tummy hurt'. Everyone had a great day and we just love living so close to the Magic Kingdom. Thank you Grandma for watching Benjamin so we could enjoy this fun day! See our picture link for more pics.

Pine Wood Derby 2009

Nathan took 2nd place in the Stake Pine Wood Derby this weekend. I will post more pictures when I get them downloaded. Nathan was excited to finally place. It took 3 long years to make a fast enough car. Only 9 more pinewood derby' s to go for Mike! Benjamins's car's should be really fast.

Georgia Cabin

We had so much fun with Grandma and Papa at the Tower Lodge in Elijay Georgia. The hikes were very fun and sometimes a little long for the kids. Grandpa used plenty of ice packs! The weather was good and you can check out the rest of the pictures in our picture link.

Easter Fun

Had lots of fun at Grandma's with the 1st annual Goodier, Jester, Terry, Adams Easter Egg Hunt. All 77 (or was that 78) Easter eggs accounted for. The bonus part wast that nobody fell in the pool. Hope to see Beth and Cody next year, but we will settle for the cuter shorter version that is Morgan. Happy Easter!

Nathan gets his braces!

Nathan has his braces now! He was excited that they didn't hurt getting put on. He called me at work after the appointment and seemed very surprised that it didn't hurt more. Fun, Fun.

Fun run and Jacobs Super Week!

We had a blast running in the Harris family 5k. Nathan took 3rd in his age group out of 14! Daddy took 2nd in his age group out of 16. Looks like running, runs in the family! Kim had fun? pushing Ben and Mikayla in the stroller and she took 4th in her age group just barely missing a medal! Kevin also ran in the race with Jill helping to blow up balloons for the kids. Jacob, Joshua, and Mikayla ran in the kids race afterword and each received a medal! Joshua loved the strethcing part before the run. Here is link to the finishing results.

Jacob was the super student of the week and Kim and I were invited to his classroom on Friday to eat lunch with him and talk to his class. Being student of the week, Jacob was able to be the 'line leader' and he really loved that! He also had a big poster on the wall with his baby picture and some interesting information about his life. Kim and I were able to talk to his class about Jacob and he seemed so excited, he kept hugging my leg the whole time we were in there. Kim got to measure the whole class to see how much each of them have grown since the beginning of the year. She had a good time too.

Looking Snazy with new church clothes and pictures of Christmas

Use Blog to educate and share the gospel

http://www.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/news-releases-stories/using-new-media-to-support-the-work-of-the-church

Elder Ballard recently called upon church members to use the Internet to share their testimonies and put out correct information about the church and it's beliefs. We have the power to make a difference one Blog at a time! With all of the false information going around about our church it is our duty to engage in the conversation and not be "ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ" as the Apostle Paul wrote in the New Testament. The church is true!

Great Grandpa Goodier and St. Augustine

We had a good visit with Great Grandpa Goodier. We had fun picking oranges and grape fruits, then eating brownies that Inez made for us. After the visit we went to Ft. Mantanzas and the Fort in St. Augustine. The kids loved the cannons and they were able to see the workers fire one off at the end of the day.

Halloween 2007

Here is the scary bunch. The first picture was taken before we went to our ward trunk or treat. the kids weren't allowed to wear masks. that is why jacob and joshua's faces are painted. i thought i did a pretty good job painting jacob's face. they had a wonderful time trick or treating both nights. you can see our pumkins that mike and nathan carved in the last picture. there was one for each kid. mikayla enjoyed being a tiger. maybe next year she will get to be the princess. ben could care less as to what was going on as you see in the second picture. i hope you all had a fun halloween.
