Blast from the past!!!!!


I found this picture the other day and thought that I would share it with the blogging world that follows our blog.  (Jon and Kathy)  This is my Papa Green.  He was an amazing man and as you can tell, we ALL loved him.  There is only one grandchild missing and she was a few years down the road yet.

Baptism

Jeffrey was baptised today! Grandpa and Grandma made it to the event as did Uncle Trevor. We all had a good time of celebration and fellowship.





I tried uploading video but the website wouldn't let me. I'm not happy about that. I will continue to work on it.

THEY DO LOVE EACH OTHER!!!!!

While Jason and I were cleaning and doing other stuff around the house, the boys were EXTREMELY quiet.  This always makes us a little nervous.  Usually one of them is yelling or crying.  Jeffrey had just laid down for a resting time to read his books and Joel had just gotten up from his nap.  They were sitting on their little chairs in the guest room playing Jeffrey’s Nintendo DS.  They were actually sitting quietly and playing.  No yelling, screaming or crying.  It is amazing!!!!!  They do love each other.

Supernumerary day




For those of you who don't know, Jeffrey used to have an extra tooth. A tooth that was more commonly referred to as his "bubba tooth." It was a weird tooth that looked like it was coming in sideways where one of his front teeth should have been. Well, we took him to the doctor and the doctor said that the tooth was a "Supernumerary tooth" or "hyperdontia" Anyway, it is fancy talk for "the boy has an extra tooth that is not needed." So an appointment was made to remove the supernumerary and now it is gone. I tried taking a picture of the tooth to give you an idea of it, but it didn't turn out so well.

So now we have a gap that we hope the other teeth will push and fill in. Joel also got a chance to have his teeth counted at Dr. Fortner's office (Jason's cousin) so he didn't feel left out.



Ya know, sometimes not even wearing your Peyton Manning jersey helps to make the dentist visit go any better.

BIG NEWS

After asking about this and praying about this for a long time, Jeffrey has decided to get “bapnitized.”  He went down front today and asked the pastor if he would have time next Sunday to “bapnitize” him.  The pastor said that he would and that he needed to come down during the evening service to make his public profession of faith because Jeffrey had talked to the pastor after the morning service was over.  Well he couldn’t wait until Sunday night, then he couldn’t understand why he had to wait until the end of service because he wanted to tell everyone right now!  So, when the pastor asked if there were any decisions, Jeffrey right away went down front and made his decision known.  The pastor asked if he asked Jesus into his heart and he said that he already had and was ready to get baptized. 

 

We are very proud of him!  This is something that he has really been praying and asking about for some time.  Thank you to all who prayed with us and for us for this big decision!

Only the cool ride bikes!

After the game the boys chilled out riding bikes around.  Jeffrey posing for his motorcycle gang pic and Joel auditioning for the Calculator Club.

 

 

Upward Basketball

Jeffrey played in his 5th or 6th game of the year.  Today was picture day.  Of course, little bro had to get in on the action too.  Jeffrey’s team (The Rattlers) lost 4 to 0.  It was 2 to 0 with twenty seconds left.  It was more of a slug fest then a basketball game.  I will see if I can post some video of it.

 

Jeffrey managed 5 or 6 steals and really hustled, he also stole the ball and scored but it was later determined by the wonderful officiating that the steal was illegal and the bucket therefore did not count.
