Carter did it!!!

Carter Graduated this Friday with his Bachelors in Bible with a minor in Youth Ministry. We are so proud of him and I know that he is very relieved to be done with school!

Here is Dr. Gieger presenting Carter with his ring at the ring ceremony.

Scotty and Carter are a little excited to graduate...

A little Update

Well we have been super busy the past week, between finishing out our jobs, packing, and saying all our goodbyes and a few other things it's been crazy. Our Christmas program for dayschool was on Tuesday and I'll leave you with a little clip from that, it is the kids singing falalalala's for Deck the Halls. Until I have more time to post, just know that we are alive, well, and Carter graduates tomorrow (yay) so his family is now in town after their flight into OKC was cancelled because of fog, and us thinking they wouldn't be able to get in until tomorrow after graduation.

Amber Needs.....

So when the blogging ideas run out I am turning to something I saw on another blog. The rules are you go to google and type in "your name needs" and see what it is that you really truly need according to the web. So here is what my search of what "Amber Needs" came up with.

1. Amber Needs some ideas. (yes, how did they know!!! Christmas gift ideas would be great too.)

2. Amber Needs your help (Mentally, physically, spiritually, yes yes yes!!)

3. Amber Needs donations (Once we get to Oregon, donations really would be helpful for furniture, or we'll take money, but we'll always take money.)

4. Amber Needs a boyfriend on Flickr. (ummm...don't they know I'm married. How embarassing! anyways, isn't it a little akward to need a boyfriend on a photo sharing site?)

5. Amber Needs you and your money. (I think we've already covered this one)

6. Amber Needs to go but the door is locked. (hmmm, well unlock it already)

7. Amber Needs a home. (Amen to that, the time is coming soon though!!!)


now we'll do Carter just for fun....mainly because I'm bored.

1. Carter Needs to be muzzled because he's devouring people alive. (umm yeah, WHAT??)

2. Carter Needs to attack the basket to get slumping nets. (his are just weird so far).

3. Carter Needs to shut up. (I'll agree with this one sometimes, but other times I can't get him to talk.

4. Carter Needs help with his pants. (Good thing he's a big boy now and can take care of that by himself.)

5. Carter Needs his passport taken away. (Oh no, what did he do now?? Goodbye Europe)

6. Carter Needs to stay retired. (I'm sure he wouldn't be opposed to early retirement)

7. Carter Needs attention petition. (I never thought I was neglecting him.)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

In my classroom that is. Since we are moving in a little less then 2 weeks (yikes that is soon) we are not decorating for Christmas which is a little dissapointing for me since I LOVE Christmas. But, I have decided to do a lot of decorating in my dayschool classroom to make up for it. So here are some pictures of what it looks like so far.


Although I didn't do the snowman bulletin board it goes so well in here. The christmas tree is decorated with ornaments made by my kiddos and their parents, and then "hung" by themselves. Even our little clips on the wall are now festive. Also, please note the santa hats on the monkeys!! You may have to click on the picture to see it better. We also have Christmas lights hanging on the other wall that is not pictured.

This is the bulletin board right outside our classroom. These are all seven of my "angels". For those of you who keep asking when we'll have kids...right now these 7 plus the 2 I babysit are more then enough and leave me pooped every day.
